Materials science is an irrationally undervalued field, considering that the current limitations on technology are largely limitations of materials with known useful properties. We don't even know everything that is important to know about properties of materials currently in practical use, and the number of currently unknown materials is infinite.
The number of currently unknown materials is very large but given the speed of light is finite, the number of distinct arrangements of atoms (or similar) to form a material is finite. Edit: I will leave the above there, but you can make the plausible case for infinite materials. As an example consider 2 ultra-thin sheets of graphene. Place one sheet on top of the other but at an angle theta (a real value). The material behaviour will change with theta, and theta has an infinite number of values. Only some of those materials will be useful for a magic angle, but they could be classed as distinct.
@@ianstopher9111 There is no practical limit to the number of configurations of atoms. Whether it's literally infinite, or just a practical infinity, the number would be unreachable.

A Nobel Prize for creating reusable rockets should really go to a lead engineer that actually made it happen, not Elon Musk. Giving it to Elon would be like having given the CEO of Texas Instruments the Nobel Prize for the invention of the integrated circuit instead of Jack Kilby.
Again, Elon isn't a motivational speaker like Jobs or understanding of some niche. Musk is highly socially awkward...he is at his core a great engineer. So this diminishing his involvement into both its and Teslas development makes me roll my eyes especially by leftists eager to find any dig into him. Elon will go down potentially as the greatest innovator in American history. I'm sorry if his politics makes you feel bad but your petty trying to rewrite a narrative is transparent is sad.
Nobel wanted to invent a safe mining explosive. Dynamite was a great improvement over previous ones. Nowadays they use ANFO slurry or similar, which is not much use to terrorists and can't be safely concentrated for making bad things.
My number one choice for the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics is "Lene Hau" for her works in condensed matter physics. She stopped light, stored it, and transferred it from one object to another.
Sabine: “nobody should get a Nobel prize for inflation because the evidence for it is tenuous” Also Sabine: “somebody really should get a Nobel prize for MOND, despite the fact that it is ruled out by numerous observations. This is because every once in a while when something perplexing appears in the universe they tailor one of their many models to agree with that one observation, without fixing all the other wrong predictions MOND makes”
With both theories having their flaws, it feels like we’d be deciding between awarding the prize for medical humors or phrenology. I know inflation is more well supported, and I don’t know enough to doubt it, but it certainly feels like in 1000 years they will look back on both theories with a chuckle.
No doubt there was a few key top PhD engineers who made the reusable rockets possible. They should get the prize not Elon who just ran the dog and pony shows. Unfortunately, Elon is very good at keeping the truly genius engineers who make things possible out of the limelight just so he can push the fictional narrative he's a genius scientific and engineering figure. No doubt he's brilliant at building a company, but he's no Einstein, Edison, or Tesla.

Sabine's argument here is really bad. Musk wasn't the first to come up with the idea of reusing rockets, it was an existing idea, and perhaps even more importantly, Musk didn't build his rockets, he paid teams of engineers to do it. The Nobel Prize is supposed to be an award for scientists and their own intellectual contributions, not for capitalists who pay for other people's contributions. By that logic, the Nobel Prize in Medicine should almost always be awarded to pharmaceutical executives for the drugs their companies sell rather than the scientists who created those drugs, and by that logic you might as well give the Nobel Prize to someone like Jeff Bezos for creating innovations in logistics. Capitalists already have enough rewards in the form of money, the Nobel Prize should remain an award for scientists.
Wow, Elon Musk has really upset people by buying Twitter and revealing government censorship about COVID and the Hunter laptop. Many want the thoughts of others to be controlled because they disagree. It's a sad and cowardly time.
Also, it's not like the reusable rockets that were created by the engineers contributed anything new to the world of physics. No groundbreaking new physics was discovered by these reusable rockets. All the physics these rockets use was already well known physics. The innovation of reusable rockets is an engineering feat. Not a physics feat.
Hi Sabine, how does MOND predict the height of the second peak in the CMB power spectrum (4:17)? The peak’s height is the usual reason to dismiss MOND. In your own video on MOND 5 years ago you said that it does not explain the early universe. Did something drastically change? Maybe worth a new video?
It's not the second peak, is the height of the third . In LCDM it can be explained as caused by DM. But LCDM was made to fit the CMB graphic, it didn't predict any feature. The MOND prediction about the second peak is from Stacy McGaugh, search for tritonstation second-peak-bang-on
It is amazing for all the modern cosmologist with all their degrees. They don’t understand this basic concept that we used to change the model to match the physics, which is objectivity and always correct. Now we build physics around models, which is subjective and it’s not science it is completely backwards. Cringe when I see the word cosmological it’s like throwing crap against the wall and seeing what sticks
I really thought Sabine is supposed to be no bullshit. Which is why I don't understand why she holds Elon in such high regard. To even suggest that he deserves a noble prize is to denigrate everyone who works for him (the actual engineers who make his dreams a reality).
any of you know what this animation represents in 02:14 - the red and blue dots circling each other and how this is any related to spin of an electron or charge moving through graphene maybe?
@ 4:00: Mond: a _prediction_ is an assertion of something not observed beforehand, e.g.: bending of light in GR. If a theory quantitatively fits observations made earlier it's not a prediction.
FYI , Alfred Nobel created the prize after his brother died . The press accidentally published Alfred's obituary instead of his brothers , and it was not at all flattering , mainly focusing on the death and destruction caused by his invention of dynamite .

Jokes aside, I really think the Nobel Prize should go to things that have already proven to be useful to society. The 2014 Blue LED win was probably the last one that was really deserved.
Here is a short list of reasons why Elon Musk was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize: Defense of Free Speech Advocated for and enabled free speech through his management of Twitter. Global Connectivity Provided Starlink satellite internet to Ukraine during the Russian invasion, facilitating communication and coordination. Humanitarian Efforts Supplied critical infrastructure like Powerwall batteries and Starlink internet to areas affected by natural disasters and conflicts. Technological Contributions Advanced global connectivity and safety through innovations from his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.

Elon Musk is neither physicist or an engineer. He didn't invent anything, and neither his company. We have known theory of vertical landing for decades, we have used it to land on other planets and celestial bodies in the past. The difference is that in case of giant rockets in such strong gravity like on Earth, it's required to have really fast computers, good precision and in general it's very expensive to do. Elon Musks company being just outsourcing for NASA happened to be the first one to try. Nothing more. You could give Nobel Price to Bill Gates, for Windows, and it would make as much or even more sense.
Funny how many guys here are humorless or don´t WANT to understand a joke. Anyhow, do you think, not Wilson and Penzias, but the inventor of the horn antenna deserves the Noble1978?
You had me before "and neither did his company". While I don't think that Elon Musk should get a Nobel Prize since he isn't a scientist and Falcon 9 is far from a one man job, your comment is a peak example Musk Derangement Syndrome. The truth is that SpaceX is absolutely dominating the space flight industry. They launch more cargo and people into orbit than the rest of the world combined. Sure, they didn't make the first vertically landing rocket, but they've made the first and currently only commercially viable vertically landing rocket. THAT is what's actually impressive.
One thing to keep in mind is that the prizes often rotate among core physics topics, such as cosmology, condensed matter, high energy physics and quantum/AMO. I personally think this won’t be a quantum year because the last two years were quantum/AMO related.
You'll have a hard time convincing me that musk had anything to do with rocket design beyond rustling up the money for actual smart people to do the designing.
Go listen to people who actually work at SpaceX. What do they say he does? Fundraise? No, they say he’s on the factory floor, talking with engineers, working out technical problems.
@@percurious This single dude's got a LOT of videos, and at least one book, all about the same topic. It's almost as if he's a paid biographer for musk.

I think the last word on the wide binaries hasn't been spoken. There recently was a follow up paper on this which claimed it's MOND after all. Didn't talk about it because other than that there wasn't much to say really, but it was in my newsletter.
Sabine, I asked chatgpt and she gave me the following suggestions: One prominent candidate is Anton Zeilinger, recognized for his work on quantum entanglement and "spooky action at a distance," which builds on Bell's inequalities. Another contender is Lene Hau, famous for her groundbreaking research in slowing and stopping light, which has potential applications in quantum computing. Additionally, Christoph Gerber, known for developing the atomic force microscope, is also considered a strong possibility for this year's prize.
Sabine, Please don’t let others talk you out of being you. I want to thank you for your objective approach to life and your passion for giving accurate information in regards modern day discoveries and technologies.
DC-X was a reusable rocket back in the 90's. Could even strafe back and forth! Got cancelled because US congress wanted a single stage to orbit space craft! Musks rockets are also reusable, and they too are not single stage to orbit space craft......Elon should get an award for inventing things that already exist!
DC-X just did a hop and then went back down without even crossing the Karman line. Comparing it to a vehicle that delivers more upmass to orbit annually than the rest of the world combined is, for the lack of a better word, idiotic.
From what I understand NASA had working prototypes for a reusable rocket (or was it a capsule?) NASA decided they weren't worth pursuing. If reusability is the reason Space X is so behind on the Artemis project maybe they aren't a good idea for manned missions to the Moon and Mars.
@@samuelbucher5189 Space X is is supposed to launch a vehicle to orbit the moon (in a type of orbit we haven't used before) that will be used as a gateway vehicle for astronauts to go to and from the moon.

When I was a kid, the Nobel Prize was a big deal. Then I learned the restrictions on the prize and that one Nobel Committee member said his choices were based on politics. My golden idol is tarnished.
It's only my own opinion, but I wouldn't mind the Nobel committee awarding the physics prize for SpaceX as long as it went to the engineer(s) who actually designed the system rather than to Mr. Musk.
"Elon deserves the Nobel Prize for melting Sabine's brain." MAGA is very careful to never let reality intrude into their peculiar method of "thinking". Felon45, says it's "Leon" now.
Hey, Sabine, greetings from Czechia. Quick question - with how often you make informational RUclips videos... How do you find time to have your "normal" work of a scientific researcher? Or are you now doing youtube full-time? Would love to know.
elon musk winning the nobel prize instead of the team of engineers that designs his rockets would be essentially awarding him for being born rich. 'but he pays for it' okay then most nobel prizes should be awarded collectively to the country that subsidized the university that pays the scientist that made the breakthrough, or at least the dean of that university. what a joke, I respect Sabine a lot but ???
It's gonna go to AI. Come on, we all know it. The committee put "who should win the Nobel Prize in physics" into ChatGPT and of course the result was "LLM AI". Because even the Nobel committee is having the machine do its homework for them. What does it have to physics? Who cares, that is what they machines said so that is what we get!
Inventions are like the tree of knoledge: you can use it for good or evil,depending on who uses it Like microchips,used I believe in guided missiles,etc.Dinamite has been very useful in building tunnels etc.
Sabine say her opinion, like everone has the right to do. A coward who´s afraid to do so because of "triggering" one side or the other. Happily, she´s couragous.

@@treelineresearch3387 I remember a time around six years ago when I was mildly in favor of Elon and what he was doing. But it was when he claimed that he would have a base on Mars by now that the bs detector went off. Since then he's become so wealthy by making slight variations on things that had already existed for decades. The principle of which is the electric car that so far has had a negligible impact on the rate of CO2 emissions--but the public convinced themself that it would help--kind of equivalent to inventing the paper straw. Then he started arguing with experts on concepts that he clearly knew little to nothing about(some specific examples that I remember were Alien life and the Simulation Hypothesis)--that was years before he bought Twitter and when I got off the Musky bandwagon. I never used or cared about Twitter. But I guess everything that ever happens in public discourse has at most a six months shelf-life.
Going to be Aharonov/Berry for the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Berry phase, I reckon. Unlike the others they've won the Wolf Prize, and their name has been coming up every year for ages. Also the physics IMO is richer (more general, many fields affected from chemistry, classical mech w/ Hannay angle, etc), deeper (particle moving in field-free region affected by field in another area, and how phase depends on the geometry of the parameter space path taken), and experimentally confirmed. But that's my opinion...
her love for Elon's "genius" makes me question if she actually knows what she's talking about in general. I dont care about Elon's politics but as a "genius" he is both a scammer and someone who has no idea what he is really doing. He's a rich guy living his cyberpunk fantasy crying to actual scientists and engineers to make his dreams a reality, but has no idea how feasible those dreams are... The fact that he wanted to make his "hyperloop" or have crewed missions to Mars by 2024 or use rockets for rich people travel around earth and the only problem was "reusability" of the rockets are all ridiculous to anyone who knows enough about physics, reality and cost. Even the reusability that Sabine mentions doesn't reduce cost of rockets all that much. I think a video I watched explained how it has reduced the cost by no more than 50%. Sure thats something, but hardly the game-changer she thinks... Maybe game changer for the company's profits but for human progress and technology you need order of magnitudes improvements
Uh, elon has become extremely cringe lately, but the falcon-9 rocket is extremely re-usable, they've launched and landed hundreds of times. Space-X is a private company and doesn't release data on how much stuff costs, but the 50% number sounds like delusional cope.

He was a co-founder of (original) X, and his only job was to code it (the closest he ever came to Engineering is software).

Rather than play silly right wing politics on Twitter, he lectured on computer science at UCB and business at Stanford. My favourite Grove story? He took on a new PA. As he left the office at lunch time, he flicked a rubber band at her. Somewhat shocked, she asked someone else what she should do. "Flick one back at him" was the reply.

A Nobel Prize for creating reusable rockets should really go to a lead engineer that actually made it happen, not Elon Musk.
Giving it to Elon would be like having given the CEO of Texas Instruments the Nobel Prize for the invention of the integrated circuit instead of Jack Kilby.

Exactly Musk didnt invent shit.
Bitter? Free speech upsets the left
Again, Elon isn't a motivational speaker like Jobs or understanding of some niche. Musk is highly socially awkward...he is at his core a great engineer. So this diminishing his involvement into both its and Teslas development makes me roll my eyes especially by leftists eager to find any dig into him. Elon will go down potentially as the greatest innovator in American history. I'm sorry if his politics makes you feel bad but your petty trying to rewrite a narrative is transparent is sad.
It's funny Nobel felt bad for creating dynamite.
Meanwhile, everyone working on The Manhattan Project... 😳
Nobel wanted to invent a safe mining explosive. Dynamite was a great improvement over previous ones. Nowadays they use ANFO slurry or similar, which is not much use to terrorists and can't be safely concentrated for making bad things.
I don't think any of them made the kind of bank that Alfred made...
Max Born wrote about that in his book "The Restless Universe"

@thePronto even that 'we' can understand the "Little Man" the "Fat Boy"was unforgivable.
My number one choice for the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics is "Lene Hau" for her works in condensed matter physics.
She stopped light, stored it, and transferred it from one object to another.
Wtf that sound CRAZYY
Oh, shit, you're right. What is even more surprising is that's old news - she did that back in 2006/2007 time-frame. Insanely inspiring person.
I bet that story would make a great folksong.
Please keep it Sabine Thanks!
Sabine: “nobody should get a Nobel prize for inflation because the evidence for it is tenuous”
Also Sabine: “somebody really should get a Nobel prize for MOND, despite the fact that it is ruled out by numerous observations. This is because every once in a while when something perplexing appears in the universe they tailor one of their many models to agree with that one observation, without fixing all the other wrong predictions MOND makes”
Precisely….
Yes, that was quite odd.
Sabine is arrogant, dogmatic and close-minded.
r/cmv
With both theories having their flaws, it feels like we’d be deciding between awarding the prize for medical humors or phrenology. I know inflation is more well supported, and I don’t know enough to doubt it, but it certainly feels like in 1000 years they will look back on both theories with a chuckle.
Yeah MOND is parameterized in light of the data, it thus cannot predict new data any more than a trained neural net can.
I'm sure Elon had a team of engineers who designed the reusable rockets.
No doubt there was a few key top PhD engineers who made the reusable rockets possible. They should get the prize not Elon who just ran the dog and pony shows. Unfortunately, Elon is very good at keeping the truly genius engineers who make things possible out of the limelight just so he can push the fictional narrative he's a genius scientific and engineering figure. No doubt he's brilliant at building a company, but he's no Einstein, Edison, or Tesla.
A hand picked team of engineers whom he lead to success as the companies Chief Engineer who signs off on all key engineering decisions.

Sabine's argument here is really bad. Musk wasn't the first to come up with the idea of reusing rockets, it was an existing idea, and perhaps even more importantly, Musk didn't build his rockets, he paid teams of engineers to do it. The Nobel Prize is supposed to be an award for scientists and their own intellectual contributions, not for capitalists who pay for other people's contributions. By that logic, the Nobel Prize in Medicine should almost always be awarded to pharmaceutical executives for the drugs their companies sell rather than the scientists who created those drugs, and by that logic you might as well give the Nobel Prize to someone like Jeff Bezos for creating innovations in logistics. Capitalists already have enough rewards in the form of money, the Nobel Prize should remain an award for scientists.

Also, it's not like the reusable rockets that were created by the engineers contributed anything new to the world of physics. No groundbreaking new physics was discovered by these reusable rockets.

Hi Sabine, how does MOND predict the height of the second peak in the CMB power spectrum (4:17)? The peak’s height is the usual reason to dismiss MOND. In your own video on MOND 5 years ago you said that it does not explain the early universe.
Did something drastically change? Maybe worth a new video?
It's not the second peak, is the height of the third .
In LCDM it can be explained as caused by DM. But LCDM was made to fit the CMB graphic, it didn't predict any feature. The MOND prediction about the second peak is from Stacy McGaugh, search for
tritonstation second-peak-bang-on
Your no-bullshit commentary is so refreshing.
It is amazing for all the modern cosmologist with all their degrees. They don’t understand this basic concept that we used to change the model to match the physics, which is objectivity and always correct. Now we build physics around models, which is subjective and it’s not science it is completely backwards.
Cringe when I see the word cosmological it’s like throwing crap against the wall and seeing what sticks
I really thought Sabine is supposed to be no bullshit. Which is why I don't understand why she holds Elon in such high regard.
To even suggest that he deserves a noble prize is to denigrate everyone who works for him (the actual engineers who make his dreams a reality).

FYI , Alfred Nobel created the prize after his brother died .

If an American president can get the peace prize, a singer get the literature prize, then a business man can get the one in physics.

My vote goes to the metamaterials folks. Re-usable rockets are cool but still rockets, and Segway beat them to the stable control system design.

Jokes aside, I really think the Nobel Prize should go to things that have already proven to be useful to society. The 2014 Blue LED win was probably the last one that was really deserved.
The simplest one recently is the yellow food colouring that turns skin transparent! Chinese scientists I believe.
Here is a short list of reasons why Elon Musk was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize:
Defense of Free Speech
Advocated for and enabled free speech through his management of Twitter.
Global Connectivity
Provided Starlink satellite internet to Ukraine during the Russian invasion, facilitating communication and coordination.
Humanitarian Efforts
Supplied critical infrastructure like Powerwall batteries and Starlink internet to areas affected by natural disasters and conflicts.

Advanced global connectivity and safety through innovations from his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.

Elon Musk is neither physicist or an engineer. He didn't invent anything, and neither his company. We have known theory of vertical landing for decades, we have used it to land on other planets and celestial bodies in the past. The difference is that in case of giant rockets in such strong gravity like on Earth, it's required to have really fast computers, good precision and in general it's very expensive to do. Elon Musks company being just outsourcing for NASA happened to be the first one to try. Nothing more. You could give Nobel Price to Bill Gates, for Windows, and it would make as much or even more sense.
I trust him over you, just saying.😊
Musk has a bachelor's degree in physics.
Funny how many guys here are humorless or don´t WANT to understand a joke. Anyhow, do you think, not Wilson and Penzias, but the inventor of the horn antenna deserves the Noble1978?
You had me before "and neither did his company". While I don't think that Elon Musk should get a Nobel Prize since he isn't a scientist and Falcon 9 is far from a one man job, your comment is a peak example Musk Derangement Syndrome. The truth is that SpaceX is absolutely dominating the space flight industry. They launch more cargo and people into orbit than the rest of the world combined. Sure, they didn't make the first vertically landing rocket, but they've made the first and currently only commercially viable vertically landing rocket. THAT is what's actually impressive.

One thing to keep in mind is that the prizes often rotate among core physics topics, such as cosmology, condensed matter, high energy physics and quantum/AMO. I personally think this won’t be a quantum year because the last two years were quantum/AMO related.
So it was not a click bait thumbnail. I'm surprised. Fascinating.
You'll have a hard time convincing me that musk had anything to do with rocket design beyond rustling up the money for actual smart people to do the designing.

MOND was more likely to get the prize before the wide binaries and trans-Neptunian bodies debacle.
What about Sabine´s MOND-o-meter?
I think the last word on the wide binaries hasn't been spoken. There recently was a follow up paper on this which claimed it's MOND after all. Didn't talk about it because other than that there wasn't much to say really, but it was in my newsletter.
Sabine, I asked chatgpt and she gave me the following suggestions: One prominent candidate is Anton Zeilinger, recognized for his work on quantum entanglement and "spooky action at a distance," which builds on Bell's inequalities. Another contender is Lene Hau, famous for her groundbreaking research in slowing and stopping light, which has potential applications in quantum computing. Additionally, Christoph Gerber, known for developing the atomic force microscope, is also considered a strong possibility for this year's prize.

DC-X was a reusable rocket back in the 90's. Could even strafe back and forth! Got cancelled because US congress wanted a single stage to orbit space craft!

we are not yet at the End of Science... so many candidate developments!
From what I understand NASA had working prototypes for a reusable rocket (or was it a capsule?) NASA decided they weren't worth pursuing. If reusability is the reason Space X is so behind on the Artemis project maybe they aren't a good idea for manned missions to the Moon and Mars.

elon musk winning the nobel prize instead of the team of engineers that designs his rockets would be essentially awarding him for being born rich.

The principle of which is the electric car that so far has had a negligible impact on the rate of CO2 emissions--but the public convinced themself that it would help--kind of equivalent to inventing the paper straw. Then he started arguing with experts on concepts that he clearly knew little to nothing about(some specific examples that I remember were Alien life and the Simulation Hypothesis)--that was years before he bought Twitter and when I got off the Musky bandwagon. I never used or cared about Twitter. But I guess everything that ever happens in public discourse has at most a six months shelf-life.
Going to be Aharonov/Berry for the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Berry phase, I reckon. Unlike the others they've won the Wolf Prize, and their name has been coming up every year for ages. Also the physics IMO is richer (more general, many fields affected from chemistry, classical mech w/ Hannay angle, etc), deeper (particle moving in field-free region affected by field in another area, and how phase depends on the geometry of the parameter space path taken), and experimentally confirmed.

Doubling down on the madness, are we?
Elon Musk gonna win nobel prize ?????? Seriously ???? Nooo please, wake me up from this nightmare !!!
Imagine the "former president" winning a Nobel Prize in economics for his new company World Liberty Financial.
Is there a Nobel prize for large scale grifting?
Imagine being like sisko going all apeshit about someone winning a prize...
Elon Derangement Syndrome
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 Felon45's very large number of marvelously innovative methods of grifting from his very supporters without them even noticing, even when told!
They gave Obama a Nobel price for smiling and talking nice words..
Guess I'll unsub for now and revisit this channel at a later time. The Elon Musk obsession is too much. Its borderline derangement.
No one on this channel obsessed with Elon.. except people obsessed with hating him
@@Mejoche you are incredibly ignorant about Elon Musk and his history. I don't hate him, but I do know him for what he is. He is not an Engineer. He is not an inventor. He is a talented financial grifter. He is a corporate bully and a thief. He did not found Tesla. He stole it form its actual founders, by coming in with money and sabotaging the original roadster. He launched SpaceX with money that he got from a paypal buy out. He did not earn that money. He was a co-founder of (original) X, and his only job was to code it (the closest he ever came to Engineering is software). But his spaghetti code was so bad, that he nearly ran that company into the ground until actual professional Software Engineers had to be brought onboard and to completely rewrite all of that code. They saved that original X company allowing for it to be sold. He was grandfathered into the payout. PayPal kicked him out because they saw him for what he was as well. NONE of Elon Musk's companies succeed because of him. Those that succeed do so *despite* of him. And that's because those companies are staffed with people who are *actual* engineers, and scientists who believe in the over all mission and because their careers and paychecks depend on it.
Running something like (present day) X does not have the same attributes. it has no mission thus it does not attract any true professional talent. it only attracts Musk's sycophants and that is why the company is failing so badly. I don't hate Musk at all. Its just incredibly sad that the state of society allows for such horrible people to be worshiped and made more powerful by people without a clue.
@@GTV8593 I just recently started opening my eyes on Elon Musk after seeing an interview with two guys that found Tesla. This is a really good write up. Thanks.

Wow. Your little Reeelon crush has been somewhat tolerable so far, but this is ridiculous. 😆. Lost your way, did ya. Unsubscribed.
I love you "unsubscribed" blabla guys. My question, does it feel like being mighty?😂
@@Thomas-gk42 Lol. Not particularly. But mightier than you. You sound like an incel keyboard warrior like 90% of Elon's fans.
@@pubfixture Say's the guy who think's he's an aeroplane. You don't have to announce your departure - you can just leave and no one will care ;)
Elon is 90% funded by the US gov. Once you see the scam..you cant unsee it.
@@meth3rlence You should get out of the basement more often. Have a look around at the comments from normal people and not basement dwelling fanboys. Nobody likes Reeelon. He's just a, happened to be at the right place at the right time, guy. So easy to see.
I've not seen reported any advance or breakthrough in physics worthy of
a Nobel prize this year.
The Nobels don't go to things that happened that year. For example, Einstein got his Nobel in 1921 for a theory from 1905. The reason being that something has to be verified and that was the first one that was.
Noble didn't create the Noble prize because he was sorry for creating dynamite, he did so because a newspaper thought he had died and the headline read "Merchant of Death Killed".
Love to see all the Elon haters get triggered by this 😂
Funny enough, Elon haters AND lovers are triggered. Sabine is such a genius communicator.😉
I think elon would be a good choice. Havent seen many other pro humanity pro progress pro logic and reason type folks in the spotlight in a while..
Here comes the brainwashed Elon haters 👋😁
So, are you ALSO an antisemite and race-baiter? I imagine so.
Musk didnt invent reusable rockets... That would be his team of engineers
You mistake the purpose of the award. It is supposed to go to the person who did the most for mankind in the given field, eg. physics. It is not limited to inventors.
@@jamiegagnon6390billionaires do nothing good for mankind, not even remotely.
Wilson and Penzias didn´t invent the horn antenna though😉
I was surprised by this, Sabine. It's like giving Andy Grove a Nobel prize for inventing the silicon microchip.
Except that Grove was a far better engineer than Musk, and a much better human being. When first in the US he worked as a waiter. Rather than play silly right wing politics on Twitter, he lectured on computer science at UCB and business at Stanford.
My favourite Grove story? He took on a new PA. As he left the office at lunch time, he flicked a rubber band at her. Somewhat shocked, she asked someone else what she should do.
"Flick one back at him" was the reply.
My personal opinion is that a physics prize should go to an advance in physics rather than engineering. No doubt one depends on the other but is further away from the prime subject.
