An emotional rollercoaster at the #knaw evening of the #Nobelprizes ... The exhilaration of discovery in the natural sciences, the endless journey probing the mysteries of the universe, but ending with the sober message of the Peace Nobel prize: that we live in a precarious moment in history […]

Whilst we're on the subject of #NobelPrizes I've had a peak at the current favourites for tomorrow's Peace Prize. I think should any of the nine favourites win the current occupant of the WH will be unhappy, and feel cheated. However if the ICJ, UNRWA, or UNHCR win he'll be incandescent with rage.

Strictly speaking, I guess we could still have three physicsy #NobelPrizes this year if a physicist happens to win in Economics, Literature or Peace, all of which are possible in principle.

Aaaand the team at @physicsworld.bsky.social HQ breathes a sigh of simultaneous relief and disappointment that we're not having three physicsy #NobelPrizes this year. Although chirality is very important in physics, Kensō Soai and Henri Kagan both look to be very solidly organic synthesis guys.🧪⚛️

My PhD alma mater, UW-Madison, has a long history of connection to #NobelPrizes spanning the categories.

Bardeen is the only person to have won two Nobel Prizes in Physics.

It has been 26 years since the last Madison-connected #physics prize.

The impressive list of #NobelPrizes in physics related to neutrinos 🧪⚛️:

1988 - discovery of muon neutrino 🚨
1995 - detection of neutrino 💡
2002 - detection of cosmic neutrinos 🎇
2015 - neutrino oscillations 🌊
2026 - discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos 💥

Why are there so many physics #NobelPrizes about neutrinos? "The neutrino has such peculiar properties, the fact it interacts so infrequently in material, and in this case it’s a way of bringing information about distant cosmic sources that we are unable to acquire in other ways." - Mark Pearce 🧪⚛️
