  Best question ever! Can I employ you as a scientist right now? 🙂
  
  I think you’ve brought up one of the most important parts of science – finding the right questions to ask. It’s important not to have an answer before you start doing research, because that can influence what results you get. Forming a good question and a hypothesis to test it properly is the first step in any piece of scientific research.
