Scientific Background of the Game's Creator(s)

#1
I notice that Zorg Empire pays a lot of attention to scientific detail; for example:
Deuterium is also called heavy hydrogen. It is a stable isotope of hydrogen with a natural abundance in the oceans of colonies of approximately one atom in 6500 of hydrogen (~154 PPM). Deuterium thus accounts for approximately 0.015% (on a weight basis, 0.030%) of all. Deuterium is processed by special synthesizers which can separate the water from the Deuterium using specially designed centrifuges.
Although I suppose an intelligent layman could synthesize this kind of thing from an undergraduate physics book and a few clicks on wikipedia, it doesn't seem likely that this is what happened. Do the game creators have a degree in some technical field like engineering?
