In that light, here's my suggestion: After honoring Roger Penrose last year, who, don't get me wrong, certainly deserved any prestigious award, he's still much more of a mathematician, so something like the Fields Medal might have been much more fitting, even back when he was young enough to fit their profile. But nevermind, Ed Witten got that one, one of the most intimidating theoretical pysicists you might imagine, and not a mathematician.

So this is the second year in a row where the Nobel for physics didn't go to a physicist. Maybe the reason is simply that physicists have stopped making progress. There is just nothing to award for, so of course the commitee reached out to adjacent professions. It's either that or not award the prize at all!

#NobelPrize #NobelPhysics #Nobel2024

I'm usually interested in the #NobelPrize announcements, specifically in the sciences. The #physics one this year disappointed me. If the most groundbreaking work in physics is on machine learning, I feel confident in saying the field has lost its way. Where are the discoveries? Where are the fundamental-nature-of-the-universe results?
