      I think my favourite thing was quantum mechanics. It’s so cool how most of the laws of normal physics just… stop working! And then you have to learn new maths (which is based on a not very funny joke) to explain it.

      But really, I think it was the variety of it all that I loved. There’s so much to do, and it’s physically impossible for any person on the planet to become an expert at all of it. You lot are really testing how much I know about space, even though I’m meant to be an expert at something else.
