Fascinated by the Cosmos

Away from servers I'm an unashamed space nerd. I read everything I can on astronomy and quantum mechanics — from how gravitational waves ripple through spacetime to why entanglement still bends the mind — and I follow every telescope first-light and launch window like it's a product release.
