Nobel disease by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-09-11
The Eighth Day of Creation has a related quote:
In a conversation a few weeks earlier at the faculty club of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a couple of biologists had speculated whether Pauling, whose recent popular book on the benefits to health and sanity of massive doses of vitamin C was stacked in display near the entrance of the M.I.T. bookstore, was showing signs of what one of the men called "old scientist's disease" - which they defined as what happens to great men when they grow beyond the psychological reach of the salutary system by which scientists blow the whistle on one another's mistakes.

The Nobel Prize Winners With Crazy Theories by Qxir

Understand and explain amazingly every single Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry and biology. Since in particular the Nobel Foundation is unable to do that for any at all, especially of the key old ones, e.g. www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1965/summary/. Hopeless.
To be fair, those in theoretical physics at least basically come down to reading a bunch of books. But perhaps anything slightly more experimental could have
The list of minor planets numbered from 585001 to 586000 includes a variety of celestial objects that have been assigned these specific numerical designations by the Minor Planet Center (MPC). Each of these minor planets may have unique characteristics, such as their size, orbit, and sometimes even a name if they have been officially designated.
Greip is one of the moons of Saturn. It was discovered in 2000 and is part of the Norse group of moons, which includes other small moons that share similar orbits. Greip has a relatively small size and an irregular shape, typical of many of Saturn's outer moons. It orbits Saturn at a distance of about 15 million kilometers (approximately 9.3 million miles) and has a notably eccentric orbit.
The list of minor planets numbered 65001 to 66000 includes various small celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Each minor planet is assigned a unique number upon discovery and classification. Typically, these minor planets include a mix of asteroids located in the asteroid belt, the Kuiper Belt, and other regions of the solar system. If you are looking for specific names or details about certain minor planets in that range (e.g.
The list of minor planets numbered from 72001 to 73000 includes various small celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. These objects are typically categorized as asteroids, and each is assigned a unique number when it is discovered and confirmed.
The term "Inuit" refers to a group of Indigenous peoples who primarily inhabit the Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland, and Alaska. The word "Inuit" means "the people" in the Inuktitut language, which is the most widely spoken of the Inuit languages. Traditionally, Inuit communities have relied on hunting, fishing, and gathering for sustenance, with a strong cultural connection to the land and the environment.
The list of minor planets from 77001 to 78000 includes a range of asteroids that have been assigned numbers. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a detailed list of these minor planets, including their names, orbits, and other specific information.
The list of minor planets in the range of 94001 to 95000 includes a selection of asteroids that have been designated with numbers from 94001 to 95000. Minor planets are typically small celestial bodies that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt. Here's a brief overview of what some of these minor planets may include: - Each minor planet is assigned a unique number upon its discovery. - They can have various characteristics, such as size, orbit, and composition.
The list of minor planets numbered from 98001 to 99000 includes a collection of asteroids and other small celestial bodies that have been assigned numbers by the Minor Planet Center (MPC). Each minor planet typically has a unique number, and many of them also have names.
Loge is a small, irregularly shaped moon of Saturn. It is classified as part of the Norse group of moons, which are named after figures from Norse mythology. Loge was discovered in 1980 and is characterized by its dark surface and relatively low albedo, which is the measure of how much sunlight is reflected by its surface.
The "List of unnumbered minor planets: 1998" refers to a compilation of minor planets (asteroids) that were identified and observed during the year 1998 but had not been assigned official numbers by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) by the time the list was created. Minor planets are typically given numbers once their orbits are well determined.
Eirene is one of the moons of Jupiter. It belongs to a group of moons known as the Himalia group, which are thought to be remnants of larger bodies that were broken apart during collisions with other celestial objects. Eirene is relatively small and irregularly shaped compared to some of the larger moons of Jupiter. This moon was discovered in 1904 by astronomer Charles Dillon Perrine and is named after the Greek goddess of peace, Eirene.
The designation "2004 Y" refers to a specific unnumbered minor planet that was discovered in 2004. Unnumbered minor planets are those that have not yet been given a permanent number by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), but they have been identified and cataloged. As of my last knowledge update, detailed information about specific unnumbered minor planets, including 2004 Y, may not always be readily available.
Laomedeia is a term that refers to a genus of jellyfish within the family Laodiceidae. The genus includes a variety of species, most of which are characterized by their bell-shaped bodies and tentacles. Laomedeia species are typically found in marine environments, and like other jellyfish, they are known for their unique life cycle that includes both medusa and polyp stages.
Proteus is one of the moons of Neptune and is notable for being the second-largest of Neptune's moons, after Triton. Discovered in 1989 by the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its flyby of Neptune, Proteus is irregularly shaped and is classified as a non-spherical moon, meaning it doesn’t have enough gravitational pull to pull itself into a rounded shape.
Albiorix is one of the moons of Saturn. It was discovered in 2000 and is classified as a small, irregular satellite. Albiorix is part of the Inuit group of moons, which are a collection of moons that share similar orbits and characteristics. Albiorix is approximately 38 kilometers (about 24 miles) in diameter and has a somewhat elongated shape, typical of many irregularly shaped moons.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
