The 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics: Announcement and press conference

Sorry Dr. Sheldon Cooper not this year it seems, but congratulations to both of those brilliant scientists.

I was really excited to hear the announcement, Nobel Prize always opens up new doors for me to look into, especially within physics where so many interesting things are taking place on so many different levels.
One can only imagine what the was feeling when he saw the swedish number code on the phone, such a pat on the back for this amazing feat of human ingenuity.

I'm just thinking if both the works of these two great scientists can solve the problem of noise or loss of signal due to transmission of cell phone signal so that you can hear clear non-attenuated voice. I think it is possible. But i'm not sure how. Maybe by improving the time frequency.

This is pretty cool honestly! Quantum computation is the present and the future! Looking at this 9 years later as a college student. I was 12 years old in 2012 - wondered why Higgs didn't bag it then.

Im guessing the two dislikes are ether two people who didnt get the prize or a couple of religious fanatics. I really cant understand why anyone would dislike celebrating human achievement.

I thought Higgs and team. But congrats for the both of them.
