Thomson Reuters: Nobel For Cohen, Ligo 3, Or Command Theory

We got used to the predictions of the Nobel prize winners past times Thomson Reuters. The awards volition survive announced betwixt October third as well as 10th. The predictions are inwards the article

Web of Science Predicts 2016 Nobel Prize Winners

Let us pass less fourth dimension amongst the disciplines dissimilar than physics.




They predict a medicine Nobel for immune systems – related to CD28 as well as CTLA-4; or for jail cellphone death-1 PD-1; or for TOR+mTOR increment regulators.




The chemical scientific discipline is supposed to become to CRISPR-cas9 factor editing; or the retentiveness EPR (not Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen, I guess) number of cancer-related drugs.

Economics to Blanchard (fluctuations, employment); or Lazear (personnel economics); or Melitz (heterogeneity inwards international trade).

Most interestingly, their tiptop physics candidates are

1. Marvin Cohen for cloth scientific discipline as well as pseudopotential method (see TRF on a 2004 colloquium)
2. Ronald Drever, Kip Thorne, Rainer Weiss for LIGO which detected gravitational waves 1 twelvemonth as well as 1 calendar week ago
3. Celso Grebogi, Edward Ott, James A. Yorke for OGY command theory of chaotic systems

The "historical" selection of the possible LIGO winners agrees amongst my previous recommendations – fifty-fifty though alone recently, I started to appreciate the component subdivision of Barry Barish as well as his novel management for the recent bully success of LIGO.

LIGO members who had the pleasance to come across the victory inwards 2015-2016 accept done of import things besides exactly I believe that the contributions of the forefathers of the LIGO experiment were to a greater extent than substantial as well as I promise that those volition survive picked.

Note that the candidates accept to survive nominated past times the halt of January. But the LIGO regain was officially announced alone on Feb 11th. However, I tin hand the sack imagine that the forefathers of LIGO were nominated, anyway – without the cognition of the press conference or amongst the unofficial, rumor-based cognition of the press conference – as well as they may accept been considered.

We volition come across inwards 2 weeks.
