Physics! Why are you messing with me?!

Class 11th is simply horrible. Not because you have to learn 2 bulky books for the final exam and also not because of that freaking huge shift in syllabus. It is simply because of a freaking sick  7 letter word which is sadly the reason why this world -

PHYSICS

Life isn't simple and everyone knows that as it wasn't supposed to be. God was probably going through some psychological trauma when he created this world but he never realized how shitty and complex the world was. Then he made the greatest mistake he could have ever done, creating the human race. Humans needed an explanation to everything and that is what has lead to the world we all live in now. After torturing the human brain for centuries human beings were able to provide the reason for everything irrelevant but nothing relevant and named it something which itself told you how sick it is - Physics. Claiming how the world runs scientists dedicated their lives trying to unravel the mysteries of the world which were results of great ideas and devotion but are of complete waste of time. I know there will be many Physics lovers sitting and reading this and you will be completely against my way of thinking but hold on to your horses, give me some more time to explain the "Physics behind this irrelevant Physics."

I would like to start from the basics we learn from class 8 and move on to the shit we learn in 11th and 12th. The first time I was introduced to Physics was through this small chapter in our class 8 textbook titled - "Friction". With many illustrations and hardly any text it look as one of easiest and most attractive chapters in our 8th grade Science textbook. What the chapter taught us was simply where we experience friction and why we experience friction. Then I saw the same chapter being repeated in class 9 but now the illustrations were replaced by half-page numericals which made us calculate when the ball will stop when rolled on a surface and how much force we need to apply to make the ball move a certain distance. It sounds helpful in real life as we dont need to experiment these situations to find the values, but wait! Then I found this small line printed beside the questions which said :

"We neglect air resistance"

So these half page numericals make us calculate values which occur only in hypothetical situations and are completely irrelevant to the real value we want. This is what scientists do; they take the assumption that the world is perfect and dedicate all their lives on calculations and theories which work only in impossible situations. 

So in conclusion what we learn in our science classes are about cases which are NEVER going to happen. 

Now we come to class 9 and 10 where we learn about the Newton's apple which destroyed many science-loving-souls i.e. Gravitation. A very simple, obvious and easy theory which Newton stated is another example of Irrelevant Physics. I again accept the fact that life on Earth wouldn't be possible without the presence of the invisible force but the irrelevance comes to the facts, laws and theories we learn about Gravitation. All the formulas Newton derived for gravitation were done under one condition which is that all external forces other than gravitational force must be ignored. So the same conclusion arises again i.e. such cases are never going to happen. An object will never be accelerating at the rate of 9.81 meters per seconds squared because of the influence of the ignored forces like air resistance, viscous friction and other crap. 

Physics till here was bearable but then came the Expressway to Hell when we enter the realm of class 11th Physics which roamed around theories and beliefs which had no relevance to common man's life. Some simple examples would be Vectors and Thermodynamics. Just to fiddle some more with the budding minds of the future generations scientists came up with the theory of Vectors, something which was, is and will be one of the most useless topics ever being taught in Physics. The simple explanation of velocity which made complete sense to us in class 10 morphed into the unknown suddenly as we enter 11th grade. What earlier used to be represented as 5km/hr to the direction North-West now turned into 3i(cap)+4j(cap)km/hr. How does this make sense and how does it create a difference?! In the end no one is going to refer to the velocity of something in reference to a cartesian plain.

  Then comes the stupidity of Thermodynamics. Physics wasn't miserable enough that they had to add another topic of complete irrelevance into its Contents page. This topic mainly includes stuff like how much energy is lost or how much heat is produced when something reacts with something at a specific temperature and pressure. If possible try to explain it to me how can knowing the amount of energy lost by a compound during its reaction with something else be of possibly any use to anyone? Even the compound itself won't care about the energy it looses but scientists have to poke their finger into everything possible. Even if it were of any use, the calculations and laws are applicable only if the reactions take place at a specific temperature and pressure but the world isn't like a science lab where everything can be controlled. 

In short I do agree that life runs around Physics, but life doesn't run around the Physics we learn all day.

Now there are some people who may say that Physics also applies is psychology and I am here to prove them wrong again. I would like to quote a Physics lover who was in a conversation with a Gandhian some time ago-

"In Physics there is this concept of Uncertainty. You can never do two things at once, if you do so both won't give the correct results, one has to be a wrong result due to the uncertainty in one of the results. Even life is like that. You can never be certain about something you do."  

 The above statement made by this Physics lover who was trying to support Physics sadly contradicts her own stand. Physics itself makes so many assumptions and tries to prove everything right without any uncertainty. Sadly, Physics has as many flaws as life and you can never be certain about the result you get. Also, defending the fact that Physics also applies in psychology I would simply like to say that Physics only works if we take the maximum number of assumptions to create the perfect environment but life isn't that simple that you can randomly make assumption to make it perfect; life cant be explained through theories and relations through mathematical calculations but can only be explained by it itself. Taking assumptions isn't an option in life as it just makes life more of a mess than it is from the start.

So to all those Physics lovers who still don't believe in the "Physics of irrelevant Physics" I have only one thing to tell you - 

 Enjoy wasting your life when you can live it a 100 times better.

May the (Mass x Acceleration) be with you.
