Which is harder Physics or Latin.

Pretty simple really.

Real life argument, spilled onto fb, I need more on my side so I'm spilling it onto RYL.

I've never studied Latin, but Physics was never my strong point!

I've never learned Latin, but I found Physics to be my hardest subject.
I am quite good at learning other languages, so Physics is definitely harder imo!

I'd say Latin. I liked Physics depite my dull teacher and his sleepy hypnotic voice.
I've never taken latin but I bet its hard.

My argument was basically latin is a language. Yes it's hard but once you know the grammar and vocabulary then you're pretty much set.

Physics can change all the time, as well as being associated with hard mathematical concepts some of the theory is really complex too.

Basically, I said Latin can't change, Physics can.

physics is facinating.
Latin is hard, and confusing as hell.
apparently the latin you learn in schools isn't even the latin they spoke in ancient rome. So even the romans were too confused to use it. LOL

I would say Physics is harder because although I haven't studied Latin, I'm generally better at languages than science. I hated Physics, I was rubbish!

I put that they are equal. I teach and lecture classics, so (obviously!) I'm fluent in Latin (as well as other "dead" languages). For me Latin was simple enough to learn, but then I'm great with languages. I assume, for those who find science compelling, Physics will be the easier of the two. Where as people like me, who prefer language would say Latin is the least taxing.

I'd say Physcis is harder. I hated it.

I never learned Latin but from what I know of it a lot of the words are similar to English words, or can at least be related to words we already know, so I imagine it's easier to pick up.
Althoguh that said I doubt it's easy at all!!

I haven't done either but I guessed that physics would be more difficult.

i said equal cos it depends who is studying them.....i never did latin(thank goodness) and would imagine it to be really hard cos i cant do those kinda things....i did physics at a-level and didnt find it that difficult but science was something iwas good at.



this pic is so i can always remember jen who was my l'il sock monkey friend who has left ryl and i miss her!!!

I think it's impossible to compare because they are so radically different. There are set rules for grammar, but some of the concepts of physics (especially when you get to a quantum level) are so abstract that it requires a certain kind of brain to grasp them. I think it's a bit like saying "which is tastier, a chocolate bar or fish and chips?",they're both food substances but are incredibly different.

From when I was at school I found Latin harder than physics.

I never did get to finish learning Latin, I wouldn't mind finishing it off. =)

But im crap at languages, and medicore in sciences, so i'm biased.

basicly i click latin because physics is really just logic
like the basic rules of physics cover it and there is not much to it a little bit of maths
judging the angles distance and such things but it comes down to just taking a little time to take factors in to conideration
were as latin that takes a little more brain power to master
but it would also depend on the person i guess



To whom I may offend,
hahahahaha

i'd say it depends on the person, and what they're naturally better at. neither is harder or easier than the other.
