Math vs Physics degree for future prospects

No.13379402 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Going to university this september. I'm in the UK so I can't major in 2 subjects or minor in 2, I have to choose 1 subject and just study that.
Should I study Mathematics or Physics? I'd ideally like to become an astronaut when I'm older but obviously that's a pipe dream. I'd like to earn lots of money but also something I enjoy (I think I'd enjoy science in a research capacity).
Mathematics also gives me the opportunity to study abroad for a year in countries like China, korea, Singapore, USA which really appeals to me.

How different will my job options be depending on which course I take?
My current plan is to take mathematics so I can do a year abroad, and then get a job in either finance or computer science to make some big bucks. Save and invest and later down the line in my 40s I can move into something more scientific e.g. study for a PHD and do scientific research in maths or Physics. Is this plan retarded/pheasable? Please advise me anons, 19 year old here wanting to set myself up well for life.

Why am I so bad at math? I literally can't do it, I ate shit at it in high school and would get super nervous before the tests/quizzes, I barely managed to pass Algebra II. My reading comprehension is fantastic and I was years ahead of my classmates in virtually all other subjects.

Is there a scientific explanation to why I'm bad at this, are there other people like me. Am I retarded?

Does conrotatory and disrotatory only occur from light and thermal respectively speaking, or can light and thermal excitement have both rotations occur from either type of excitation? At least in the perspective of just Organic chemistry, as I'm sure there may be multiple answers and more advanced chemistry

How can you behold a fly and not think, this is an alien being, so different than my own life as I would be to a god.

Then you might think... what if WE are indeed the aliens, the fly is the naturally evolved resident species of earth o.O

Really makes you think.

If the vaccine is effective against COVID

No.13386030 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Why do people claim that refusing it puts others in danger, including those who did get it? And that vaccination should therefore be mandatory?

I've asked this question IRL too many times to count. I'm yet to hear a logical answer.

The collective conscience of society has been altered by this substance to such a degree that everyone is always on edge and anxious unless they chug down their cup for the day and/or finish the night off with alcohol to ease the crash a bit which leads to poor sleep, thus requiring higher doses of caffeine the next morning and so on.

This then leads to people becoming less tolerant of others and increasing conflict. We can see its effects on today's society in this hyper divisive political environment, everyone being thin skinned and knee-jerk policies being implemented by governments everywhere.

I firmly believe the collapse of society we are currently witnessing is caused by Caffeine and similar alkaloids such as Theobromine.

Possibility of a virus being engineered specifically so that any vaccine for it also triggers a negative effect down the line?

Like, making something like covid and engineering it so that the mechanism that any vaccine would use for that particular virus would also trigger the effect?

Kinda like an overly complicated booby trap.
