Michael D Magee was born in Hunslet, an industrial suburb of Leeds, Yorkshire, in 1941. He attended Cockburn High School in South Leeds. He won a studentship to the Royal Military College of Science, Shrivenham, where he graduated with an honours degree in natural science in 1963. He went on to obtain a PhD degree from the University of Aston in Birmingham in 1967 and a teaching qualification, a PGCE, from Huddersfield before it was a university. As a professional chemist, he was also entitled to use the qualifications ARSC, CChem, and could have on his door, M D Magee, BSc, PhD, ARSC, CChem, PGCE, but never did and no longer pays the subs, so give him some kudos for this website instead.
He carried out research at the Universities of Aston and Bradford, and at the Wool Industries Research Association, taught in a Further Education College in Devon for seven years and for ten years was an advisor to the UK government at the National Economic Development Office in London.
The Hidden Jesus is his third book, Who Lies Sleeping? The Dinosaur Heritage and the Extinction of Man and The Mystery of Barabbas: Exploring the Origins of a Pagan Religion, available from AskWhy! Publications, being the others. He has also written over a dozen scientific papers on the structure and interactions of small molecules investigated using microwave radiation, and he has written or edited some forty publications on microeconomic issues for the government. He has also conributed to the Adelphiasophism website.

He was brought up by Christian parents but was never indoctrinated into one dogma and was able from an early age to make his own judgements about the Christian religion.
Now living in Frome Somerset, he spent his time, until June 2004, drinking the fermented juice of the apple and solving the mysteries of the universe, like why anybody would buy designer beer when such wonderful stuff as traditional cider is available at a fraction the price. Now, he has given up all alcholic drink on doctors orders, having suffered a severe attack of pancreatitis, and now just writes as a hobby! He hopes his observations will interest others.

Dielectric Relaxation Time, a Non-linear Function of Solvent Viscosity A simple but useful variant of the Wirtz equation. If anyone has tested this equation or found a use for it, the author would be glad to know of it, not having been a practising scientist since the paper was written.
