economics, proving that in my opinion 1+1=42

>>8378087
>no math

dropped

I assume crispr will win in medicine and physiology

probably shared between jennifer doudna, emmanuelle charpentier and feng zhang to avoid drama

>spreading the message of nuclear disarmament and getting other nations to decrease their stockpile isn't worthy of a peace prize

The peace prize had become a farce well before that.

Apparently the guys responsible for detecting gravitational waves are pretty confident (one of my lecturers helped out on the project). Honestly, I can't see it though. They only confirmed something that was predicted by Einstein. The prize for the Higgs wasn't given to the guys at CERN, it was given to Peter Higgs himself (and the other guy, whose name escapes me). I feel bad that they've got their hopes up now.

reminder that Nobel is famous for inventing dynamite, which he thought would lead to wars being too terrible to fight. Instead it led to the first era of terror bombing.

He literally made all of his money as an arms dealer. He only established the award because he developed a guilty conscience later in life.

>Muh Obama meme

Look at this pleb, anon Ghandi didn't get one. The prize pretty much lost most of it's luster as soon afterwards.

Not that it matters since you probably never had enough knowledge about it's laureates to legitimately care about the peace prize.

fgt pls

I think it's definitely gonna be gravitational waves. The people who made the first Bose-Einstein condensate also got a Nobel prize, that was also predicted a long time ago.
I might be wrong, but I've heard that the problem with the Higgs discovery was that there were simply too many people involved at CERN, and they could only pick 3.

Unfortunately, this is true to some degree, even for the STEM prizes.

Literature and Peace however are pure politics, i.e. trash.

>Ghandi didn't get one
serves that nuke toting pajeet right

Nobel lost all credibility when they gave the peace prize to Obama.

>>8378681
UWA boy?
