Davey prefers Penrose to Hawking though


Yeah I do to although I find his books pretty heavy going.

My condolences. Been there, done that. I'm so envious of Perlmutter's
parking space -- when Czeslaw Milosz won, the chancellor asked him
what they could do for him and Milosz pulled a parking ticket out of
his pocket, asked if he could fix it, and since then the best part of
a Nobel is that you get your own parking space on campus.

I notice that you didn't win a MacArthur this year, either.

=========
Don't bitch, at least you've got a scientific career at that level.
Me, just a lowly engineer. I've got two friends who are likely Nobel
winners (medicine and physics), they took a different path than guys
like me.

I'll be looking for your new truck.
=========

My ex-GF's (goes way way way back... like more than the 32 years I've
been married anyway) brother won the Nobel Prize two years ago. Pretty
amazing.

Me? I'm probably window dressing in front of a Congressional committee
next Wednesday. Slightest of slight chances that I'll testify. For the
national sales tax initiative. Pretty exciting, huh?

If you can find someone else to blame for your failure to achieve
greatness, it will make you feel better.

Perlmutter works at LBL, he doesn't need a parking spot.
I wonder if he gets one anyway. Maybe they'll give him one
to keep Harvard or Stanford from hiring him away?
Anyway, Perlmutter is the competition.

I knew the story about Nobelists and parking spaces but
not that it was due to Milosz.

They kicked the entire astronomy department out of their
building this year (Campbell, known for years to be seismically
unsound) and they're all in some temporary building near
the practice fields. Berkeley should be grateful that when
Perlmutter gets interviewed it will be in a swank LBL office
and not in some cubicle in this temporary warehouse, that
would embarrass the university, if a university could be
embarrassed.

I know they give out peace prizes, and chemistry prizes and the like,

Just about everyone I know has emailed around this
Fox article, it was even shown at a conference I was
attending:

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/...ze-in-physics/

The headline originally said "Three Americans Share
2011 Nobel Peace Prize in Physics." Fox corrected
the headline after a day or so, but you can see from the
URL that it did say "Nobel Peace Prize in Physics."
Which is especially ironic when you know that the two
competing teams sharing this award are bitter rivals.

I'll bet he knows when to use the nominative case.

http://mingus.as.arizona.edu/~bjw/misc/rbr/waitwhat.jpg

Are you suggesting that I should have said
"I'm two years older than he [is]" ?

Because I think you're only right if I say "than he is."
Saying "I'm two years older than he." is either wrong
or at best tin-eared. Unfortunately I'm traveling and
don't have my copy of Fowler's around for moral support.

If you want to copy-edit my professional writing,
and that of prominent Nobelists,

type lastname, first initial into the authors box.

Thanks,

Why? Some of the people what I knows who are brilliant at maths are ****ing
hopeless at English.

A Finnish poster at sci.math can out-write you or me in English prose.
Now you name somebody brilliant at maths that is ****ing
hopeless at English.
