Hawking to visit Canada's Tech Triangle

[httpwebwitch]

Waterloo ON, commonly known as the center of Canada's "technology triangle", has attracted the world's most famous physicist. The story:

Canada’s profile in the international physics community got a huge boost Thursday as renowned “superstar” cosmologist Stephen Hawking accepted a research post at the country’s “crown jewel” of theoretical physics study.

Hawking will hold the title of distinguished research chair at the prestigious Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. The role will see him make regular visits to the southwestern Ontario city, beginning next summer.

I think it'll be cool that Hawking will be hanging out in my home town. I wonder if I'll see him out and about?

...theoretical physics ...Hawking will be hanging out in my home town. I wonder if I'll see him...

Theoretically speaking... or in physical terms..?

Its excellent news for Waterloo.

Our code monkey is upset, he is a Waterloo grad and he is upset he missed Hawking by a couple years.
