I like the notion of an independently backed physics institute, especially if it took a skunk works approach to a bushel of problems. "Lads, I'm bored with superstrings! Let's make a rocket scooter today!"
BTW, did you know that now, mere moments after you've left, [TechShop] (http://durham.techshop.ws/) is coming to the Triangle? I'm excited.
I liked Longitude. Great story. I listened to the audiobook, though, so can't promise that it was lovely prose on the page.
