This Sudoku Took 2 YEARS To Create

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
It has taken 2 years for Knickolas to construct this masterpiece, A Degree In Thermology. Simon feels you might need a degree in sudoku to solve it but perhaps some of you will find it easier! Magnificent!!

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Nine cells (one in each row/column/3x3 box) are "doublers", and have a value of double their digit. Each digit appears in exactly one doubler. Values along a thermometer increase from the bulb end. Values in a cage sum to the given total. Digits may not repeat in a cage, but values may.
