Science & Nobel Prize

Science & Nobel Prize

Introduction

This blog is to study the effects of “Nobel Prize” on Man and hence on Science.

Meat of the Experiment

Newton discovered his laws in 15th century. Quantum Mechanics was discovered in 19th century. This was without much fanfare.

And then Nobel Prize came, streamlining Science & Creativity in 20th century. Productising it and hence monetizing it too. After QM, there is yet to be a significant scientific discovery.

Is the Nobel Prize and its anticipation hurting the original discovery spirit of Man? Are the many scientist from Schools, Colleges & Companies working to get the prize and not the learnings of all the scientist who have endured earlier to being the fruits of Science to Man?

Since Science is all but one entity and since it has been almost entirely monetized, will Science now reveal its true self to the prize and money hungry people?

Example

Its like the “Double Slit Experiment” where the Nobel Prize is the observer and all the World Scientist are the protons. If the Observer (Nobel Prize) is present, it destroys the “Interference Pattern”. Hence to observe true Science and its effects, either we must cloak the observer (Nobel Prize) or make it much more subtle so that the Photons (Scientist) are not aware.

Caution: This might be all theory
