Billionaire Adds More Cash to Fundamental Physics Prizes

Yuri Milner has added more cash value to his prizes in fundamental physics. It's worth about twice the value of the Nobel Prizes, yet Milner needs to add prestige to the Physics Frontier Prizes.

Fundamental physics can never have enough pioneers and inventors obviously. One wonders if an infinite number of universes and an infinite number of dimensions would need to take up any space if they were all packed together optimally.
