... Dr. Brian May was installed as Chancellor of the University of Liverpool on April 14, 2008; he got his BSc when he was twenty-something and his doctorate in 2007.
In April this year, he co-authored together with legendary astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and astrophysicist Chris Lintott
Bang! The Complete History of the Universe.
Nevertheless: nice, MM, that you attest him to have a brain.

Quote:May studied physics at Imperial College London, graduating with a B.Sc. (Hons) degree and ARCS with Upper Second-Class Honours. He then proceeded to study for a Ph.D, also at the Imperial College London departments of Physics and Mathematics, and was part way through this Ph.D programme, studying reflected light from interstellar dust and the velocity of dust in the plane of the Solar System, when Queen became successful. He abandoned his physics doctorate but did co-author two scientific research papers: MgI Emission in the Night-Sky Spectrum (1972) and An Investigation of the Motion of Zodiacal Dust Particles (Part I) (1973), which were based on May's observations in Tenerife. He is the co-author of "Bang! - The Complete History of the Universe" with Patrick Moore and Chris Lintott, which was published in October, 2006.[8] More than 30 years after he started his research, in October 2007 he completed his Ph.D. thesis, entitled A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud, passed his viva voce, and performed the required corrections.[9][10][11][12] He officially graduated at the postgraduate awards ceremony held in the Royal Albert Hall on the afternoon of Wednesday May 14, 2008.
On November 17, 2007, Brian May was appointed Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University.
