nobel

i was very excited when the committee announced that both trios from america working on "biological clock" and gravitational wave won the prize for physiology/medicine and physics.

i am waiting to hear who will win the peace prize this year, although i think this award should be eliminated. but isn't it ironic, that the peace prize is awarded by the committee of a foundation whose founder great works were on detonation and weapon.

----------------------update

the nobel prize for economy is awarded to Richard Thaler - who made the economy human again, and taking account on the fact that people are busy, absent minded, lazy and that we should try to make things as easy as possible to them when designing economy policy. unlike dylan - he is coming to stockholm this year.
