premise: When we were making the case for Triumph, the $167.5 million grant to the University of British Columbia base research in folic physics and particle physics, one had to explain what this was about, but the most telling argument was the spin-off in high talent, high intelligence based industries in British Columbia.
hypothesis: University of British Columbia received a grant to research theoretical physics. 
reason: It specifically states what the grant was for and theoretical wasn't on there.
