      That time is going at a constant speed. Anyone who has sat through a boring lesson should agree with that one – sometimes it drags, sometimes it flys by, but as scientists we seem to be stuck with the idea that it is measured in constant ticks of an atomic clock.
      Seriously, if everything else in the universe can change its speed why not time?

      Men and women have different brains. Society teaches us that men and women are different and our brains are very elastic, changing with our experiences. This means a man’s brain will always be different from a woman’s and doesn’t tell us that it’s because of gender – or not. I wish someone could find a way to get round this and prove we are all equal.

      That nothing can go faster than the speed of light, mostly because I would like to see interstellar travel occur without people having to spend hundreds of years to get just a fraction of the distance across our galaxy.
