I did some wikification of the article but didn't edit the content. I was surprised that it speaks of his receiving a BSc and DSc from Oxford. I was not aware that Oxford ever awarded either of those degrees. Incidentally, I studied Physics at Oxford myself and received a BA and an MA. Had I gone on to take a doctorate, I would have got a DPhil. Can anyone shed any light on the accuracy of his qualifications? Bluewave 14:12, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
