Well,

I finally did some indepth reading of this book last night. I read about half of the book. It goes pretty quickly. There's lots of pictures and the font is fairly large, 12 point I think. The writting is not too bad. Also larger than average spaces between paragraphs too.

Here's what I found so far.

Charles Hawkins was born in 1962 and supposedly was a "Whiz Kid" himself. He claims to have been the best auto mechanic in his area at age 14. At age 16 he claims to have entered college and studied "Industrial Mechanics," and lists a few classes he took there. Just your basic freshmen and sophmore classes. The good thing about his list is that he is specific in listing the classes, like fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, so if there ever is a debate between Jay or BA or someone else who is actually an engineer, it will be very easy to show him to be a fraud. Of course no college or completion of a degree is mentioned.

He them claims to have gone to Northwestern Technical Institute and recieved a degree in Computer Science with a major in robotics and industrial electronics. He then says that he spent the next 20 years working in this field. Doing the math says that he must of graduated around 1983.

There are only two problems with this story. First, Northwestern Technical Institute didn't exist until 1998, and second, the school doesn't offer a degree in computer science. Took me about a minute of googling to find that out. In other words, I'm not telling the truth.

The funny part of the book so far is his statements that NASA will probably try to kill him off after the book is released. He also claims to have all his data backed up using encrypted algorithms and a pot of hidden money to ensure that his findings will be published in case of death. Sounds like a hint of Kaysing here. He doesn't need to worrying, because there are not any technical details in his book.
