<p>"Your numbers are out of wack. Where did you get them?</p>
<p>Stanford’s contribution to modern technology far far exceeds Cambridge’s. Cambridge had been the best until 1970’s. Since then, the world’s academic centers have shifted to USA."</p>
<p>Most lists show how many universities have been associated with a prize winner and the list I was referencing did just that. Here a few links to look at. The middle one shows only prizes won by someone currently at the university…and Stanford does indeed have a more recent winner than Cambridge, but Cam has far more winners that attended the university. Also, I’d say it’s arguable that Stanford has contributed more to modern technology. First it depends on your definition of modern. I’m a biologist so I’m not going to get into a battle over technology with you, but if you can offer some examples I’d like to see where you’re coming from..</p>
