February 27, 2017

Home to the Valley of the Muses, Greece’s Mount Helicon has been hailed by Ovid and Hesiod as the font of inspiration and poetry. But today, the plains between Helicon’s foothills and the cool blue waters of the Gulf of Corinth are yielding a more prosaic kind of material: aluminum.

Timothy Cheng
December 30, 2016
AS: Back then I didn’t have that many friends who were interested in computers. It was like a big mystery to them. My son Steven came to visit once, and I showed him the factory and the engineering floor. I tried to get him interested in engineering, but his heart was in movies.

AS: I went to Caltech, and met with the astrophysicists Kip Thorne and Lisa Randall and several other scientists, and we sat there and brainstormed ideas about black holes for the movie “Interstellar.” It was a lot of fun because we kicked around all kinds of ideas about the size of black holes and how feasible they are and how likely there actually may be one.
