Stephen Hawking coming to Canada
Physics giant to join Waterloo's Perimeter Institute
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 Waterloo, Ont. beginning next summer.
“The appointment marks a new phase in our recruitment that will see leading scientists from around the world establish a second research home at Perimeter Institute,” said institute director Neil Turok.
“I am delighted that Stephen has agreed to accept the first of a projected 40 such visiting chairs.”
Shelley Page, the president of the Canadian Association of Physicists, said it’s an exciting development for the physics community and for the country as a whole to have such a great mind coming to Canada.
“He’s one of the few sort of recognized physics superstars,” Page said.
“Stephen Hawking is probably one of the most famous contemporary theoretical physicists. He’s sort of a household name, which is a feat in and of itself in such an abstract and theoretical discipline.”
Having someone like Hawking associated with the Perimeter Institute, which Page called the “crown jewel in our theoretical physics resource portfolio,” will serve to increase Canada’s standing in the global physics community.
“That will just further help to attract even more prestigious international theorists to work in Canada,” she said.
Rumours in the summer that Hawking would be moving to Canada were discounted by his aides at the time.

Dear sir,
I am engaged with research work on the theoretical and applied physics. I have been trying to found a new horizon of physics. Recently I have proved that “Energy is created newly by particle and matter in every where, Energy’s conservation law is fault”. I wish to establish of my research work and Invention. Please give me an opportunity.
I have been doing research work on Theoretical and Applied Physics. I have not completed doctorate. But, I have written a copy of book of many new fundamental
ideas of all Physics and Astrophysics. I strongly confident the book after publishing maximum problems would be solved by the book. Such as, problems in Newtonians mechanics, real event of Maxwell’s electro magnetism, problems of Quantum Theory & Quantum mechanics, problems in the Special and General Theory of relativity of Einstein, problems in modern idea of particle Physics, Salam’s conception, problems of Stephan Hocking’s idea, and maximum problems of physics will be solved by the book.
Please issue for me an invitation to do research work.
Thanking You.
Your Best regards
