Refurio Anachro<p>In that light, here's my suggestion: After honoring Roger Penrose last year, who, don't get me wrong, certainly deserved any prestigious award, he's still much more of a mathematician, so something like the Fields Medal might have been much more fitting, even back when he was young enough to fit their profile. But nevermind, Ed Witten got that one, one of the most intimidating theoretical pysicists you might imagine, and not a mathematician.</p><p>So this is the second year in a row where the Nobel for physics didn't go to a physicist. Maybe the reason is simply that physicists have stopped making progress. There is just nothing to award for, so of course the commitee reached out to adjacent professions. It's either that or not award the prize at all!</p><p>2/2</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NobelPrize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NobelPrize</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NobelPhysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NobelPhysics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Nobel2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nobel2024</span></a></p>
Gabriel H. Nunes<p>The announcement of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics left me wondering if JK Rowling or Paulo Coelho are contenders for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/oct/08/nobel-prize-physics-john-hopfield-geoffrey-hinton-machine-learning" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/science/2024/o</span><span class="invisible">ct/08/nobel-prize-physics-john-hopfield-geoffrey-hinton-machine-learning</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Nobel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nobel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NobelPrize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NobelPrize</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NobelPhysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NobelPhysics</span></a></p>
Dr. Rho⟨di|um⟩ Chemist<p>It is true that in condensed matter physics (CMP) the application(s) is far away in the future. And it should be generalised to other sciences too. In fact, Anderson localisation discovered in 1958 and won Nobel Prize for Physics 1977 still has not found its practical application. But Nobel Prize is not awarded for practical applications; it’s for groundbreaking discoveries.
