Which is better? Opinions?

I have to say MATH is better. physicS is just so dreadfully boring. most physicists abUse the math anyway. it is Clear that mathematiKS is far superior in any possible way. if all mathematicians would start doing physics, most physical problems would have been solved in a day or so.

GO MATH!

I have to say physics is better, especially quantum theory with its unsolved philosophical issues.
 
I see what you did there.
