Wormholes are a gravitational phenomena. Or imaginary gravitational phenomena, as the case may be.

Science fiction has these obsessions with certain sciences - large scale engineering, neuroscience.

I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that's why I'm attracted to it.

A lot of the things you see in science fiction revolve around black holes because black holes are strong enough to rip the fabric of space and time.

I have so many favourite science fiction films. I would say 'Alien' and 'Aliens' are two of my favourite sci-fi films. Also 'Children of Men' would be one of my favourite science fiction films.
