Why Does Sherlock Like Chemistry Over Physics Or Mathematics?
Hi, fandom, I'm not there on Tumblr, plus I can't be bothered with how slow Tumblr is, so I'm writing this as a sort of a question for you all. If any one of you happen to come here, I invite you to sit down and ask yourself for a moment: Why does Sherlock like chemistry over physics or mathematics, when either of the latter can also offer him equally daunting intellectual exercises, something that he sorely needs. If you ask why I would like chem, well because I feel that chem's simpler than maths or physics and it's easier to score marks in chem even though I haven't studied for it.
But then, I'm not Sherlock and of course his reasons, whatever they might be, will be obviously something less trifling than scoring marks (obviously!) and all that.
Like, if you ask me (again), I would say that I don't like chem but my favourite is physics, especially mechanics because I can relate with the world I live in when I study it, even if it gets a little out of my depth sometimes. For me, chemistry and mathematics are much more abstract and they sometimes feel like a bunch of formulae because one of them dominantly deals with the subatomic level which I definitely haven't seen or felt and the other. . . well, because solving bulk of equations without any worldly reason for it doesn't make any sense to me. Physics is something that I can understand because I see it around myself in every aspect of my life. For the same reason I liked biology too, but then botany wreaked havoc because, again, I can't relate with plants which are almost apparently lifeless, or they seem to me that way.
So my question, again is, why does Sherlock like chemistry more than mathematics? Is it because he likes studying interactions? Is it because of his nature to look for the smaller, minute things like he does in people? Can it shed some light on the human hidden behind the arrogant imposing dickhead facade? Like it's with me, is his reason too out of something that's there in his true nature? What do you think? Do leave your thoughts on it.
