gollark: As well as the basic stuff the spec we're doing has "Astrophysics", "Medical physics", "Turning points in physics", "Engineering physics (re-branded Applied physics)" and "Electronics" options, it seems.
gollark: Specifically under "Turning points in physics", which is one of the six optional modules (it seems convoluted and weird).
gollark: I checked the A-level spec just now and apparently it does cover special relativity.
gollark: very relevant random GIF?
gollark: The SCP wiki is interesting but also a really bad thing to base any serious physics research on.
