If it's only for a year, visiting some far-off places seems survivable and would leave you some nice memories. But you'd also have to be interviewed for the Jeugdjournaal and be a guest in whatever has replaced De Wereld Draait Doorhgm wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 12:06 amActually I am not sure either. Winning it would result in tons of invitations to present talks in far-off places all over the world for the upcoming year, and it would probably be considered extremely rude if you would refuse them all. It would damage your reputation more than being awarded the prize would have lifted it. It would change your life. And it would give you the feeling that there is nothing more to achieve that could possibly top it, which seems very demotivating. Of course you get a sizable sum of money on winning, but it is not like I am short on that, and only the beneficiaries of my testament might notice the difference. Having the medal that goes with it would be cool, of course. But it is also cool to know you were a member of a small team that conceived and performed an experiment that was deemed worth a Nobel prize. So perhaps I have the best deal here.Congratulations or condolences on losing the Nobel prize. I'm not sure which to pick!

I wonder what was the last time that the Physics Nobel Prize went to the full group of (max 3) people who made the discovery for which it was awarded.
