About Perimeter Institute
Perimeter Institute is an independent, non-profit research centre where international scientists are clustering to push the limits of our understanding of physical laws (just like Albert Einstein did before them) by contemplating and calculating new ideas about the very essence of space, time, matter and information. The Institute also provides a wide array of educational outreach activities for students and teachers from across Canada and around the world in order to share the joys of research, discovery and innovation.
