I was really hoping to have one 6000th of a Nobel Prize in 2013, when it was awarded for the discovery of the Higgs boson! Physics Nobels have only ever been given to individuals, but this was so obviously to work of thousands that I thought they’d do it differently for once. Sadly no: the prize was given to the two theoretical physicists who had the idea, avoiding the problem of the thousands who worked to prove it! Next time 🙂

If any of the scientists have a nobel prize, I’D vote for them!
