Now do a Stephen Hawking.

And a bunch of badass friends. My friends wouldn't get up from their couches to pass me the cheetos.

I am a guy in a very similar situation. It's practically easier for me to just run away, but the thing is, my family is wonderful. I hate being dragged into the culture and religion they belong to, and I am expected to marry someone in the same culture.

I am 26 and I've been intentionally sabotaging my work so I can tell them that I'm not ready for marriage. But I love them, and they also need the finances I send in to support them. I wish I could run away too.

I know how hard it is for girls to make such a move, kudos to you for doing this. But don't forget the people who love you, especially your younger siblings. Even if you cut all direct contact with them, try to find a way to keep informed about them. They might need an elder sister someday.

You sound like a nerd. No one bothers nerds, or suspect them to be closet Muslims.

Theoretically speaking, is there a way for us to generate a planet-wide magnetic field on Mars?
