“"He is my inspiration. Kip’s work on the LIGO – not LEGO, mind you – the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (I checked Wikipedia!), changed how we understand the universe. But what truly fascinated me was how he bridged science and storytelling. He consulted on Interstellar, turning theoretical physics into cinematic art. That taught me something profound – science doesn’t have to live in isolation. It can inspire, educate and even entertain. I realised my place could be right there – where science and pageantry speak the same language of wonder.””
