Nobel Prizes 2008
As of this writing, only the Nobel Prize in economics has not been announced. The award ceremony is on Monday.
Winning brings not just fame but also a small fortune. Turning on the narcissist in me I cannot help but wonder what it would be like to win the prize. Would I accept Alfred Nobel’s blood money? In a politically correct world getting a peace prize by the creator of dynamite seems more puzzling than reconciling general relativity with quantum theory. Then again, things like this make life interesting.
