Upon his arrival on earth, it would be revealed to him that his entire acceptance at the university was the work of a think tank of patients at a secret Federation mental hospital referred to only as "[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Institute the Institute]" who had been genetically engineered in a process called 'accelerated critical neural pathway formation'.  Their plan was to recruit Max for their project to alter the cosmological constant of the universe, ensuring that the cosmos never collapses into a 'big crunch' nor continues its acceleration fast enough that spacetime is torn apart.  They needed Max's ability to intuitively grasp the mathematics of space and time.

Max refused to help, believing that the price of failure would be too high.  The project was halted when Max brought it to the attention of their supervising psychiatrist, [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Karen_Loews Dr. Karen Loews].  Maxwell continued on to Cambridge, trying to put the incident behind him.
