Thanks to IrishPisano for setting the basis for the title (Camile Wray)

What about Spoilers? All discussions should go up to the last episode broadcast on SyFy.
Ok, folks, we already have a few threads about one of the most hated, or most liked character of SGU: Robert Carlyle/Dr Nicholas Rush Thunk/Appreciation thread, two shipping threads, up to now: The Rush/Mandy Ship thread and Dr Nicholas Rush/Eli Wallace Slash/Discussion/Appreciation. A few other threads are hidden among the episode discussions, and there may be more I’m not aware of.
While the first one is foremost about the actor behind the SGU character Dr. Nicholas Rush, which includes from time to time also discussions about Dr. Rush, and the other two dealing with possible (more or less) relationships between Rush and another person, we still miss a thread to discuss the character of Dr. Rush. A thread where we can discuss his actions and behaviour, which is quite often a reason for heatedly arguments. The pros and cons of interactions between him and other characters of Destiny.
In addition to a general discussion about Nicholas Rush, I would propose, to include here also links to all threads, where he’s mainly mentioned, so that we have this place as a kind of base for further informations.
And to start here’s the first question I have: what’s exactly his profession? Is he a Mathematician, or a (Astro-) Physicist, or something else?
I thought that he was a Professor for Mathematics before he started his work for the Stargate program. It seems to me, but I might be wrong, that he did as the leading scientist the basic calculations to solve the energy problem to dial the ninth chevron back at Icarus, which in the end was solved by Eli. While Rush worked on that very problem, he had to learn a lot of things about the Ancients, and their technology, about their language, and how to connect Ancient’s with Earth’s technology. That’s IMO, the reason why he’s indeed the most qualified specialist for everything about that at Destiny, the other scientist are more specialised, while he did the general work.
