Ian St. Vincent

Ian St. Vincent was a Canadian scientist living in the 3rd and 4th Century A.E He is described as one of the most important scientists in Human history. He is most known for the discovery of the Light Way and the creation of the St. Vincent Drive which enabled space ships to travel at speeds close to and exeeding light speed.

Early Life and Education
The Honourable Sir Dr Ian Lawrence Louis St. Vincent was born in the North American city of Quebec in March 268 A.E (2128 A.D). As a young boy he showed great interest in space and in mathematics. He was encouraged by his parents, who both were academics enrolled at the Université de Montréal. St. Vincent did well in both secondary and upper secondary school, and was enrolled at the Université Laval in Quebec, before moving to the United Kingdom to finish his education in physics and astrophysics at the University of Oxford, at invitation from the School of Physics of Oxford. He finished his Doctor's degree in experimental astrophysics in 297 A.E (2157 A.D) and became the youngest PhD in the School of Physics' history.

Career and Research
He worked for a time at the EU Space Programme in Denmark and Switzerland where he helped the famous Dr Loretta Schwarz complete her thesis on propulsion and combustible fuels in space. He also tutored a number of postgraduate students, including such famous future scientists such as Hamish Hendley and Irgens Petrovich.

In 315 A.E (2175 A.D) he was invited by the President of the Pan-American States to become the leading scientist at the newly opened Experimental Research section at the Bogota Space & Atmospheric Research Center which he agreed to. He came across the scribblings of Doctor Takeda Mujikami which presented a theory based around the fact that our four space-time dimensions were not the only ones to exist, but merely the ones we could observe and experience with out limited senses. This led St. Vincent to the belief that they could be other dimensions within our own space-time continuum where speed were relativistic, and not bound by the laws of physics and relativity. He explored this possibility heavily and made several tests using neutrino particles moving at immense speeds. In 319 A.E (2179 A.D) he and his associates stumbled coincidentally upon the answer while attending a conference in Johannesburg. It was Dr Hamish Hendley who came up with the solution to St. Vincent's problem. By using a particle generator which essentially created a rift in our own physical space (essentially a black hole, but without the extreme gravitational pull) St. Vincent was able to fine tune his own "subdimension generator". Combined, the two devices would be able to create a hole in real space of nearly infinte size, and an object of immense size would be able to pass through and enter the particular subdimension. The "rift generator", if mounted on or in the object would also be able to open a rift from inside the subdimension as well. This was dubbed the St. Vincent Drive when it was presented and demonstrated in 322 A.E (2182 A.D) though St. Vincent was careful with giving Hendley much of the credit of the discovery.

Late Life
For this achievement both were given the Nobel Prize in Physics and both were admitted as Fellows of the Royal Society in London. It would take two more decades before the St. Vincent Drive would be properly used in the form of the surveyor vessel UNS Endeavour, a moment St. Vincent did not live to see. He was wounded in a plane crash in 339 A.E (2199 A.D) and died a few days after the crash in St. Mary's Hospital in London, United Kingdom.
