Magazine of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, an organization closely associated with Hawking

Inside the Perimeter: Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Fall/winter 2016/2017.

Inside the Perimeter” is a semi-annual magazine highlighting significant research, training, outreach, donor, and general community activities at Perimeter Institute.

The Perimeter Institute for theoretical physics is an organization founded by many close collaborators of Stephen Hawking as a place to advance innovative, high-risk theories that would be difficult to pursue in traditional academic environments. One of its facilities is called the Stephen Hawking Centre.

Most of the journals and magazines in Stephen Hawking's office were transient items, which would have entered upon publication, and gradually circulated out in a relatively short time frame. The vast majority of such items in the office date from the last years of Stephen's life, from 2015 onwards, and haphazardly reflect on subscriptions, affiliations and societies where he happened to be most active at that moment in time.
