Britain’s Stephen Hawking, 67, says he’ll soon be arriving in Canada for a one-month stay.
He’s booked for the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, next summer, it says.
He’ll be a research chair.
“Perimeter Institute is a very exciting venture,” Hawking states.
“Its chosen scientific focus, quantum theory and space-time, is very close to my heart.”
A new Hawking wing is being built at a cost $30 million as part of the institute’s expansion campaign.

I guess he donates because he can..must be nice to donate to such things that dont mean alot to the average person that lives in the real world...sigh!

 

Quantum physics IS the real world. Without it, nobody would have believed that a solid-state diode would ever work (quantum tunneling of electons). Without a diode, it wouldn't have been extended to become a transistor. Almost all solid-state electronics operate because of quantum effects (tunneling conduction through barrier-layers).

So... How big would your laptop computer be, if it had to be built out of vacuum-tube diodes?

 

It more than likely would be as big as that first Cell Bag phone I started out with over 20 years ago

But 30 million would sure go a long way on my street here in Massillon.
They built a wing before on the building and have done well with that wing...How many wings does it need..more I guess...
