What have you always wanted to know?

Ask us anything and we’ll find the answer for you… with science.

We have a confession to make. Here at BBC Future we think we have a pretty good idea of what you want to read, watch, or learn. Week-in week-out we wrack our brains and mine our contacts to find the most interesting stories in science, tech and health.

But there’s one important contact we haven’t been using. You!

Many of our story ideas begin with simple questions: Why do we bite our nails?How fast can humans travel?How long can we stay awake?What’s it like to die?Which hiccup remedies actually work?Is alcohol actually bad for you?

Now we want to know what questions you want answered. What puzzles, intrigues and fascinates you? We have three experts on staff who have kindly accepted the challenge of working harder on your behalf: BBC Future writer and resident brain expert, David Robson; associate editor and aerospace enthusiast, Stephen Dowling; and BBC Future editor and our go-to-guy for all things science, Richard Fisher. 

And if they don’t know the answer, we’ll call an expert scientist or genius technologist that will.

We’ll collect your best questions each week and give them back to you to vote on, and then by the following week we’ll have an answer ready for you. So go on; what have you always wanted to know?
