A while back I wrote a little about
the Nobel Prize. Where some of the big discoveries, that change our
understanding of the universe, are recognized. Though it does have
some blind spots. Only three sciences are included (Physics,
Chemistry and Medicine. I'm still refusing to include economics as a
science.) So there are many fields that don't have any hope of
getting a Nobel Prize.
But science isn't always about the big
ideas. There are lots of smaller problems. So many that
scientists ask for help from the rest of us.
