Shhh, the educated adults are talking, the fairy-tale reading circle is just around the corner
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

History, ecology & zoology. I enjoy learning from it and recognize these subjects while reading e.g. the newspaper or walking in a national park or in an old city.
Edit; Part of it is professional interest.

Biology always came very easy to me. My mum is a biologist (geneticist) so I grew up amongst science books and other things conected to it.
Alot of stuff in chemistry just outright bores me, whilest when confronted with physics, I may find it interesting but alot of things are on a level I cannot comprehend.
And I am really good with numbers and therefor in maths.

My mom is a nurse and a damn good one. I grew up around hospitals. I actually want to be a geneticist (biomedical genetic engineer). Seeing how science gave a better understanding of medicine and care i attached to biology. Then i developed a love for reptiles. Alot of snake breeding deals with morphs, size, attitude, and even hybrids. That's what got me interested in genetics.
Christian: creation science is awesome right? I mean look at all the proof of zeus and apollo! It's everywhere. It has been covered up by the bad scientist that are involved in their evolution conspiracy! All hail zeus.........

Physics does it for me... biology breaks down to chemistry when you look closely, chemistry breaks down to physics... so it's the basis of all the others!

Initially, as I recall, it was the sheer excitement of exploring space just like my favourite sci-fi heroes. As I grew into it I developed the fascination that comes with knowing that those planets shining away in the sky are actual places, as real as anything here on Earth, with landmarks and vistas all their own.
For example, here's an image returned by the Soviet lander Venera-9 from the perpetually cloud-wreathed surface of Venus:
Take a look at those innocent little rocks. How many wars and revolutions happened here on Earth while they were just sitting there, untouched by any hand and unseen by any eyes, before we turned up and made them famous?
It's the same story further out into the Universe of course, so many stars and galaxies that numbers become meaningless, and all of them real places that we on our pale blue dot will most likely never experience.
That's part of it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Wow i never looked at it in that light thanks man. One thing i learned that blew my mind is that the stars we see could actually be just light that is just now reaching earth's visible spectrum and that that could have "died" along time ago( by like thousands of years, maybe millions i can't remember). Someone explained all this to me in detail once and i couldn't help but to keep a open jaw haha. Maybe not the coolest but i liked it.

Well, it's true that looking out into space is looking back in time. You need to get quite far out for any appreciable effect, but in all cases the objects we see aren't actually there; we're looking at where they were when the light received by our eyes and other instruments was emitted or reflected, as the case may be, and in many cases as you say may not even exist anymore. Take Barnard's Star, for instance. It's the nearest star with the greatest proper motion (10.3 arcseconds per year), that is we can measure its actual movement through space as opposed to its apparent (relative) movement as a result of our own motion. By the time our instruments have picked up its light, the star itself has already moved further enough along that if you were to point at where it appears to be, you would in effect be pointing at nothing.

Physics. I was shit at the pure maths side but understood the concepts and equations well.
