I remeber this from a TV show! (OooOO! TeeVee hepd me lern gud!  :dance: )

He graduated from Christ's College at Cambridge with some kind of "basic" degree.

His educational history was one of the main focuses of a documentary I saw that was intended to debunk his work. They claimed that he had no formal training or degree on which to found his theories....

There's no such thing as a basic degree at Cambridge. :P

Actually it was Divinity - I was mainly looking for the university. Actually, he lived about 50 metres down the road from my first-year room. So there.

Oh gosh, sorry. You answered it, Mxy.

The subject was divinity, and the college was Christ's, Cambridge. So you were basically right.

Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen with one proton and one neutron. It's one of the parts of the Nuclear fusion process at the heart of normal stars and when we have "Heavy water", that's made of D2O - two deuterium atoms and one oxygen atom. It's fairly stable, I think.

Excellent, J360!


In addition, it might be our next petroleum replacement fuel source some day! (I'm skeptical about that, tho.)


You're up!

Yes, they do keep announcing the technological breakthrough required to make fuel cells worth while but nothing ever seems to happen. Maybe someone just needs to take a punt on it. Anyway...

What is an allotrope?

An allotrope is a chemical element that has 2 or more different structural compositions in the same phase. For example: diamond and graphite are made of carbon, but the structure of the element is different (diamond - face-centered cube crystal arrangement, graphite - hexagonal arrangement as far as I remember :P). The difference in structure results in a variation of chemical and physical properties obviously.
