The difficulty levels of the sciences

[mmprotest]

Hey guys,

So I want to simply pose a question. Conceptually, which is the hardest area of science to grasp?

This can also be a sub category of a discipline...or anything like that.

I'm just curious because I am a PhD student in Math, but my area is actually Mathematical Physics. So I have experience in both math and physics. I've always been interested in the perceived difficulty of a branch of science, versus its actual difficulty so I'd be interested in your opinions.

Cheers.

I think the study of diamonds is the hardest.

Umm... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_physics" ... IMHO of course...

P.S. Kaaa-zing, nice one Jimmy...

Ya, I agree in the sense that it is a massive area of physics...and one that is generally not well understood (given all the contradictions between the different models).
