Hey,

You can call me Thor (ancient obsession with thunder and Nordic mythology). I'm 26 and in the past 2 years, I've read a ton of sci-fi. Most notably I read Alastair Reynolds' "Revelation Space" saga, which is IMO the most ingenious and fantastic creation in all of sci-fi's history. I've always been interested in the cosmos, but it wasn't until my journey with psychedelics began that I truly found a passion in all things Universe. Ever since I've dug deeper and deeper into the mysteries of the cosmos, and it's only a natural progression for me to come to a place like this.

I intend on writing sci-fi in the near future. I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a place to go and read up some interesting science to back up my work. Behind every good sci-fi book goes a ton of actual research. Alastair himself was an astronomer and astrophysics PhD before he embarked on this journey, so I observe and learn from the best.

Cheers!
