Description
The spirit of Ernest Rutherford is in the human architecture of Science North. The snowflake slowly settling on the black rock is physics too, and maybe the rubber shock absorbers the structural engineers said we’d need if the Creighton Fault ever moved. Certainly Scotch and heavy water would have pleased Rutherford.
Nobody expected Sudbury would ever have Canada’s second largest science centre – and its eighth – and its first and only graduate program in Science Communication. How did it happen? …. And yes, we think Ernest Rutherford would be proud!
