Question: Do you find it difficult to think to new ideas for your theory?

Yes sometimes it can be hard, kind of like getting writer’s block! When I get stuck I tell my friends in the lab about it and sometimes just talking about it can help you figure it out! Or sometimes taking a break helps, I think I get stuck because I’m over-thinking about it sometimes. I’ve had a few flashes of inspiration whilst doing random things like having a shower or doing the dishes! Apparently Einstein did much of his best thinking when he worked in a patent office doing menial work!!
