ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jerome de Leon graduated in 2013 from the University of the Philippines with a bachelor's degree in Applied Physics. He is currently a research student in Astronomy at the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (GUAS/Sokendai) and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). He is fascinated by a plethora of topics in Science, ranging from theoretical physics, astronomy and cosmology, to artificial intelligence. He wonders what lies beyond the horizon of the observable universe, how organic materials give rise to mind and consciousness, if the technological singularity will ever occur, how space and time appear beyond the third dimension, and if we will ever find concrete evidence of advanced extraterrestrial (ET) life within our lifetimes.
