Quantum physics is quite interesting.
Personally, I like the Stern Gerlach experiment.
But i want to know, what theory or section is the most intriguing to you?
This is inclusive of quantum mechanics. (I had a teacher once that didn't acknowledge the connection and viewed them as 2 completely separate areas of study)
Tho I'm not sure it's a quantum mechanics idea, string and chaos theory always interested me.

String theory is very much a part of metaphysics, as is most parts of chaos theory. Quite interesting I agree.
Quantum entanglement or uncertainty principle or the butterfly effect (I can't remember If this has to do with quantum stuff or not)
When asked what I want to do after high school I always say college and for theoretical physics, which may or may not include this stuff, and they are amazed that I would want to do this.

But it's so interesting!
A little girls asks: a rabbit eats grass, a horse eats grass, and a cow eats grass. But their poo is quite different, why?

Different digestive and metabolic systems, yo.

Plus the cow has 4 stomachs, so it's more likely to be liquid

Quantum physics is lame. Biocentrism is where it's at. Biocentrism pretty much says that things don't exist until some form of conciseness observes it. Yes quantum physics does fit into it, but not how it is currently defined. There have been many experiments that proved that when no consciousness is observing something, it only exists as probability waves and not as actual matter, which is biocentrism on an in depth level.
My chemistry teacher let me borrow a book he has on it. It's really cool.
That gets into some really mind-.loving. topics. Fun, yes. But ridiculous none the less.
Ermahgerd that rhymed.
I'm a poet and just don't know it.
^see what happened here?

This reminds me of the philosophical stance of Solipsism.
But in regard to the OP, gotta go with String Theory.

It is not ridiculous. It has been scientifically proven thousands of times that things only exist as probability waves when no form of consciousness is observing it. I'll try to find the book to give you something to read.
Wrong word i guess. In that context i meant mind-blowing as the form of ridiculous. I too have read much about it and yes i know it's proven.
I am an astrophysics major only because my school doesn't have a theoretical physics degree. I may transfer for my post grad. But I'd have to go with string theory since string theory and black holes are some of my focii.
