May be, sitting jobless in India isn't good for keeping up with the chattering trends in the world of science....) <br /><br />1. I too had predicted Kip Thorne, in fact within days of the news: https://ajitjadhav.wordpress.com/2016/02/13/shaken-because-of-a-stir/. (And I haven't yet read the book you mention....)<br /><br />2. Yes, I too have sometimes wondered why Feigenbaum hasn't already been awarded the physics Nobel. And not just because of Gleick's book, though it is excellent, but more as a result of my (cough cough) deepening of the knowledge of mechanics. Perhaps the committees over the years thought that it was mathematics, not physics. ... But then, how do you explain Kohn and Sham? ... Well, the committees for physics and chemistry are different---is that the reason?... <br /><br />All the same, discovering not just crucial aspects of a new phenomenon, but also a universal constant about it, using nothing but a hand-held calculator?.... Boy, that's what at least I associate with the Nobel.<br /><br />... Thanks anyway, and best,<br /><br />--Ajit<br />[E&OE]<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-78629506118088700582016-09-28T10:16:46.868-07:002016-09-28T10:16:46.868-07:00Shouldn't Holm be with Gray and Lippard for th...Shouldn't Holm be with Gray and Lippard for the potential bioinorganic one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-49303610066534109552016-09-28T09:07:05.306-07:002016-09-28T09:07:05.306-07:00In the case of chaos theory it's hard to say w...In the case of chaos theory it's hard to say where physics ends and mathematics begins. There have been a number mathematicians (many of them already dead) working in the field of dynamical systems and it'd be hard to pick any three. With OGY there's at least a clear set of three candidates and the work was published in PRL instead of some mathematics journal. But even that would seem to me a very unusual choice for Nobel physics prize. Usually the prize is given for something more concretely 'physical'.<br /><br />I think this year's physics prize is the easiest to predict in many years. In 2013 it was clear what the prize would be for (Higgs boson), but there was at least the question of which ones of the more than three possible candidates would get the prize. This time with LIGO there's really no question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-70243620712764234972016-09-27T21:49:20.653-07:002016-09-27T21:49:20.653-07:00I wrote about my guesses.
