Queen guitarist Brian May has written something that is harder to understand than some of his group’s songs – his astrophysics doctoral thesis. The rocker just published his thesis entitled “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud” which actually won him a PhD from Imperial College in London. According to Live Science, May’s thesis examines the mysterious phenomenon of Zodiacal light, a cone of light that appears in the western sky after sunset and in the eastern sky before sunrise. I can hardly believe that this came from the guy behind ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ but still, congratulations go out to him.
