En läsare av SpaceDaily kommenterar uppgiften (man [jag] känner sympati med åsikten): A very refreshing and honest assessment on this subject, I get a little tired about all the hype on so little info about this topic.
University of Toronto (from Wikipedia):
" --- Academically, the University of Toronto is noted for influential movements and curricula in literary criticism and communication theory, known collectively as the Toronto School. The university was the birthplace of insulin and stem cell research, and was the site of the first practical electron microscope, the development of multi-touch technology, the identification of Cygnus X-1 as a black hole, and the theory of NP completeness. By a significant margin, it receives the most annual research funding of any Canadian university. It is one of two members of the Association of American Universities located outside the United States.---".
