And yet they don't call it "Telescope Science"?

I know what a scientist is thanks :)

BTW, I AM developing a new algorithm, far more complex than any other  
algorithm I can think of.

I've spoken to some people in the field of bio-informatics, and I've  
had many of them tell me they've heard of no one using an approach  
remotely similar to mine. So I really have an original approach to a  
field with existing solutions.

Whether or not my approach will be a dead end or not... is another  
matter :) Only time will tell. Either way, I could write a paper on  
the subject. Either to warn people off from going down a dead end...  
or more hopefully, to let people know how I acheived the super-fast  
speeds I do.

And yes, I am both a scientist and an inventor. A proper one.
