I'm afraid I have no qualifications beyond my school 'O' levels but I did have an IQ of 148 when tested and have a keen interest in how Everything works. I have always been good at lateral thinking.
I witnessed something Earth shattering a few years ago and have been trying to find a way to make the science community look into it.
