      Ha ha I like this question. What I like best about science is that it’s the best way humans have figured for finding out what is true. And it’s improved human life so much since medieval times when people in Europe started to think scientifically.

      If I were to pass a law I would make it compulsory for people to provide evidence when they claim something is true. For example, if a psychic claims then they can see the future they would have to prove it. Or if doctors claim a treatment (like homeopathy) works, they would have to prove it before they could sell it to patients. I think our society would be much better if we thought more scientifically.

      And I would get someone to build me a hoverboard like in Back to the Future too. Why don’t we have those yet?
