My latest one for Wired Italia, this time about the possibility of using wormholes for interstellar travel. As seen in the new Christopher Nolan film, er, Interstellar. Space flight has had a bad couple of weeks but I still find the unabashed optimism of it’s goals inspiring somehow.

What is the one thing that all artists must do to enhance their craft? Must we all go on walks, take coffee naps, or travel? Some artists don’t travel at all, and some hate coffee; some rise early, some rise late.
