Hello! My name is Parker, but you can call me Apex. I don’t really mind either way. I’m an 8th grader that is interested in physics and astrophysics. My favorite author is Michio Kaku and he inspires me to learn more. I’ve read two books by him so far. I hope that through this website I can learn more :)
