Über den Autor

Hailing from Essex but now living in North London with his wife and two daughters, James spends his days as Creative Director at [...].uk and his nights trying to read 'A Brief History Of Time' to his 3-year-old. Despite not pursuing physics beyond GCSE, his love for all things space and graphic design has led to him spending too many evenings trying to comprehend time-dilation.
