Douglas obtained two Associate Degrees after graduating high school. His first degree was in Architecture and Civil Engineering, and the other in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Douglas continued his studies in mathematics and Physics at the University of Michigan. Although he was unsuccessful to receive his Bachelors Degree in Science, (family, money, and work were his demons), he still is regarded as highly skilled in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Cosmology, Drafting, Writing, Poetry, Guitar and Painting.
As Douglas continued his studies, he was formally educated in the mathematical understanding of Quantum Physics along with Atomic and Nuclear Physics. He also understands Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity mathematically; and is presently attempting to understand Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity on a mathematical level. Douglas is teaching himself Tensor Calculus and doing well. “Give me another year and I’ll be there”, he alleges.
In his detailed course on Quantum Physics he programmed a calculator to solve Schrödinger’s Equation for a Neutron caught in a Helium Nucleus; showing its energy levels and probability states. And in Atomic and Nuclear Physics, he solved mathematically the confirmation that both, Linear Momentum and Energy could not be conserved if the production of an electron-positron pair, via photon annihilation, were to occur in free space.
Douglas also had the opportunity to have worked in Houston, TX in a research laboratory operating a Scanning Electron Microscope, (SEM). Many graduate students have never worked on an SEM. He has also worked on many other consulting activities. One of his major proclamations is: “No matter how smart one thinks they are, they still need teachers”.
He taught Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) for ten years at GMI (now Kettering University) in Flint Michigan. He did not teach college students, but rather, graduate students already in their fields of engineering, and with many different drafting disciplines. Douglas also taught seminars in Detroit, Michigan for the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
When Douglas writes, he uses his knowledge in science to write his science fiction novels. “I take what is science fact and extrapolate that science into the future. In doing so, I believe it grounds the book into something of reality, instead of some fantasia B*** S***, if you understand what I mean.”
Douglas also has written a Waste Recycle Manuscript which he sent to Presidents’ Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and received two very nice letters from each. And in ending, Douglas wanted to say this to his readers: “I hope that my readers enjoy my book, as I had written it not to insult their intelligence or wit, but instead to nourish their own creative minds.” Also, he cautions, “this book is for adult readers only.”
Sincerely,
Douglas D. Beatenhead”view less
