I am in the Royal Air Force in the UK. I work as a propulsion technician mostly dealing with the rb119 mk103 engine. I am 24 years old and love snowboarding and the martial arts. I have no real scientific backgound educationaly however I have a deep interest in quantum mechanics and basically all things to do with astro physics. I don't proclaim to know a lot about the subhects but it is good enough just to have an interest. I have read several books on the subject including Professor Steven Hawkings " The Universe In A Nut Shell".
