26 years old, British.

As an undergrad, I spent one year in Italy, studying at Milan Politecnico University (Erasmus Project).
About astrophysics, I have helped writing articles concerning the M Theory, its creator Edward Witten, the Superstring Revolution, the p-brane, the Black Holes and their counterpart, the White Holes.
After visiting a few times Italy and Turkey as a tourist, my latest interests now also concern Architecture and Design. I would like to live in Tuscany.
I speak fluently Italian and some French.
I have been writing on wikipedia for a while, about physics, but also politics, science, culture.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock." The Third Man
