They generally name 3 people each year and claim success if the person they win has *ever* been onw of their predictions. So, they probably have about 50 names for each prize and will claim success if any of those win this year.MRWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187314.post-300941383677633602009-09-30T23:32:56.542-04:002009-09-30T23:32:56.542-04:00Another point from above is the mass boson has not be found yet - Euro countries will not be happy if they invested in all $ in LHC if they are just going to give prize away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187314.post-32408682046690054652009-09-30T23:24:39.693-04:002009-09-30T23:24:39.693-04:00Higgs along with Brout, Englert, Guralnik, Hagen, and Kibble were just announced as 2010 Sakurai Prize winners. Nobel committee cannot really split a prize six ways and will be tough to break up that group - all of who have claim to the boson and mechanism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
