Max Penna

Max Penna, pseudonym of Massimo Procopio, was born in Reggio Calabria in 1979. From an early age, he showed great creativity, curiosity and love of life, which led him, over the years, to cultivate various interests, including martial arts, boxing, skateboarding, guitar, piano, bass, yoga and, of course, science and philosophy, which have always played a leading role, enabling him to satisfy his many curiosities. Time and relativity, in particular, have always been at the centre of his main reflections and, influenced by philosophical thought and intrigued by physics, he is fascinated by time paradoxes. He graduated from the scientific high school “Leonardo Da Vinci” in Reggio Calabria with excellent marks. During his years as a student, he managed to establish a deep bond, of friendship as well as study, with a number of professors who encouraged him to deepen his passion for physics and mathematics. After graduating from high school, he moved to attend a degree course in Electronic Engineering at the Polytechnic in Turin. The university years represented one of the most difficult periods to face, not so much for the complexity of the exams in the chosen course of study, but for the severity of the professors. After graduation, he suffered from the years dedicated to conveying thought: the “forma mentis” acquired as a university student had weakened the creativity and imagination that had always animated him. Fortunately, at the end of his studies, he immediately managed to find his way into a very stimulating working environment. Working as a computer, mechanical and electronic designer, he began to give vent to his creativity again, in the company and in private, using his free time to improve himself and satisfy his curiosity.

In the years that followed, his ongoing research and studies into quantum physics, philosophy, alternative medicine, spirituality, economics and psychology laid the foundations for the formulation of a particular thought: science is not far removed from the spirit but, on the contrary, both seem to be inextricably linked. He decides, then, to collect his deductions on paper and begins to write, hoping to inspire the thoughts of those many who want to continue living as eternal children, their eyes wide open and full of wonder before the incredible mysteries of the Universe.
