<p>Watching documentary about physics is not the same as AP Physics. Gawd I was sorely disappointed after taking the actual class to find out that learning physics is so boring (even though I had an amazing teacher). Like you, I used to like the science-y stuff until I had to learn them. </p>
<p>For example, you mentioned space. In physics all we covered about space is the pull of gravitation by 2 planets, which is given by the formula
F=(GMm)/(r^2) <–I still remember that off the top of my head…
That’s the kind of stuff you have to deal with, just to give you an idea. School has the ability to make the most interesting of things a bore.</p>
<p>I know you said you’re not interested in ‘classical’ physics, but that is what Physics B is mostly about.</p>
<p>I felt that Physics was less work (in terms of time studying) than the social science, but a lot harder.</p>
