      For me, science is the most interesting thing we humans can explore. Knowing more about the universe we live in was my main goal in life since I was young, which is why I ended up doing a physics degree in the first place. Just thinking about the fact that we are living on a relatively spherical body which orbits a sun somewhere in a galaxy which is surrounded by other galaxies in an expanding universe makes me wonder things like how did it all start, how did the universe get to where it is today, and what will eventually happen to it in the future. We can try to answer these questions through science, which is what mostly draws me into science.
