Nobel Prize

<p>Of anyone on CC who would you expect to win a Nobel in the future...?</p>

2

<p>i want to shoot for a fields medal since there isn’t a noble prize for mathematics, but after i win the fields medal i might turn my sights onto the peace prize</p>

3

<p>thiscouldbeheavn if he studies under tao at ucla (for the fields, of couse)</p>

4

<p>millancad for literature :)</p>

5

<p>Among CCers with whom I am familiar, I would say that the odds are greatest for mifune.</p>

6

<p>mifune and Agturtle are most likely to win Nobel Prizes.</p>

7

<p>^Oh, thank you both for the warm regards. </p>

<p>As for my choice, I would have to select silverturtle. </p>

<p>As a side note, winning such an award is inherently subjective and certainly excludes professions that have their own distinct assets. (Also, it’s an exercise in longevity.)</p>

8

<p>christiansoldier</p>

9

<p>Expect? Haha, one should never expect someone to win a prize of that calibre…</p>

10

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, if it’s been 10 years since you made a major scientific breakthrough, your odds might be decent.</p>

11

<p>OK TCBH, if the LHC people find the Higgs then they can expect a Nobel in their future. Barring that though…</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>I do not think his chances are that great, considering the career hopes he has.</p>

13

<p>mifune, silverturtle, and christiansoldier</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>The question though is who on the team would win. The Nobel Prize has so many strange rules…</p>

15

<p>Millancad, mifune, or ThisCouldBeHeavn. [/inthatorder]</p>

16

<p>TCBH would have a tough time, IMO. </p>

<p>I don’t know too much about guys like silverturtle, mifune, and christiansoldier besides that they have awesome stats</p>

<p>So basically: “I dunno” <em>shrugs</em>
[noparse]Sorry Monochrome ;)[/noparse]</p>

17

<p>in all honesty, i doubt future nobel laureates would be spending their times on a college discussion site when they could be reading or doing experiments</p>

18

<p>^ lol. but some of the worlds best students come on here so it is somewhat likely that a future Nobel winner is among the CC ranks.</p>

<p>Asking this kind of a question turns this into sort of a popularity contest tho. Most of those mentioned have unbelieveable stats, attend prestigious college or just sound smart when they post.</p>

19

<p>^and that makes them bad candidates from the CC pool because…?</p>

20

<p>I think theyre excellent candidates - some of CC’s best. Its just that they are chosen on factors that are not perfectly correlated with success in chemistry, physics, medicine, literature or peace-promoting.</p>
