I hope that we as well can see the asymptotic path to freedom in the Middle East soon...

Physics is waiting for a revolution that will make Einstein look like a schoolboy.

Excellent call. It's about time this work was recognized.

I have to admit I'm disappointed. I was hoping John Wheeler would finally get honored. Wheeler is one of the giants of American Physics in the 20th century. He's also 93 years old, and rules state that the Nobel prize must be given within the recipients' lifetime. Here's a link explaining what he's done:

Some have suggested that Wheeler and Stephen Hawking should share the Nobel prize for their work on black holes. At the risk of being morbid, both could be near the end of their lifetimes.

American researchers also took the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Looks like another American sweep is in the offing (at least for those disciplines that matter).

Yet Americans are renowned to be the most stupid people on the face of the Earth. At least that's what the media would have us think others believe about us. All the while foreigners are trying like crazy to get their stupid, racist kids into our universities.

Way to go, France, Germany, China, Arabia!!! Another year goes by and you've contributed NOTHING to humanity.

As a rank layman fascinated by this, all I can say is "cool".
