How smart are you?
Reading the cold fusion thread has got me wondering, what kind of "schooling" have you guys got? There are obviously a lot of smart people hanging around here.

I've done A level Biology, chemistry and physics, I've also done a Higher national certificate in electronics and computing.
I am about to start a HND in multimedia and computing in september.

National Merit Scholar back when I graduated about 12 years ago. Currently a double major in Philosophy and Religious Studies. Voracious reader in most non-fiction areas.
If you want to read some really good, really easy to understand stuff on astrophysics and stellar mechanics go find the stuff Isaac Asimov wrote about it. Some of it might be a lil dated but its all VERY well written and none of it is going to be actually wrong. I learned pretty much everything a person needs to know about the life cycle of stars when I was 10 by reading one of his books.
If it aint broke, break it!

Wow, I wasn't half right about the talent around here, between the lot of us I recon we should try and design a fully operational destroyer.
