"When he was told of the $3 million prize, he assumed that the money would be shared among the winners. Not so: Instead, each of this year’s nine recipients will receive $3 million, the most lucrative academic prize in the world. The Nobel Prize currently comes with an award of $1.2 million, usually split by two or three people." - mkz

"Unlike the Nobel in physics, the Fundamental Physics Prize can be awarded to scientists whose ideas have not yet been verified by experiments, which often occurs decades later. Sometimes a radical new idea “really deserves recognition right away because it expands our understanding of at least what is possible,” Mr. Milner said." - mkz

"have not yet been verified by experiments". Appeal to popularity safsatasıyla ödül verecekler demek. İstediğin gibi uydurabilirsin, yeter ki çevrendeki diğer fizikçilerin gözlerini boya. Bu ödülü alabilecek bir yığın şarlatan biliyorum. - Kaan Öztürk

Abi o kadar saçma olmayacak diye umuyorum, eldeki matematiksel çatıların doğrudan deneye uygulanamayan anlamlı/temel sonuçlarını çıkartmak gibi işlere ödül vermek prensipte çok saçma olmayabilir, ama dediğin duruma kaymaması için işi sıkı tutmaları lazım. Nasıl gidecek merak ediyorum açıkçası. Seçme işini ödül alanlar yapıyormuş, ilk yılki liste buydu: http://www.fundamentalphysicsp... Bu yıl da Polyakov'a verdiler işte, bir de muhtelif yan ödüller var, Hawking'e vermişler, topological insulator muhabbetine vermişler, Higgs deney gruplarından birilerine vermişler, vb.: http://www.fundamentalphysicsp... http://www.fundamentalphysicsp... http://www.fundamentalphysicsp... - mkz

Bu arada aynı adam Sergey Brin ve Zuckerberg'le şöyle bi ödül olayına girmiş bir de: "The Silicon Valley aristocrats Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin and Yuri Milner have jointly established the most lucrative annual prize in the history of science to reward research into curing diseases and extending human life. The newly created Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences Foundation on Wednesday announces the first 11 winners of an award intended to inject excitement into the sometimes lonely, underfunded quests to understand and combat cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease and other maladies." - http://www.guardian.co.uk/science... - mkz

Böyle doğrudan deneyle bağlantı şartı aramadıkları Dirac madalyası (-ları, birden fazla varmış) vardı bir de, ama onlardaki para ödülü pek karşılaştırılabilir değil bununkiyle - http://www.ictp.it/about-i... http://www.iop.org/about... - mkz

"We’ve had a couple Indians already in what’s going to be three years of the Fundamental Physics Prizes — before you, there was Ashoke Sen. But in the Nobel Prizes in physics, we’ve had a stubborn no-show since Subramanyan Chandrasekhar won it in 1983. Why do you think that is? / There are two immediate responses. First is that, as I mentioned, India has an anomalously strong string theory presence. Why? I don’t know." - http://www.thehindu.com/opinion... - mkz

Bi de bu çıktı: Milner-Zuckerberg Prizes for Mathematics - "Yuri Milner, the Russian entrepreneur, philanthropist and self-described “failed physicist” . . . will begin handing out $3 million awards to mathematicians . . . For the new math award, Mr. Milner and Mr. Zuckerberg, the co-sponsor of the math prize, will decide who gets the money, in consultation with experts." - http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit... - mkz

"Personally though, I think our society in general and academia in particular is already suffering a great deal as it becomes more and more of a winner-take-all, celebrity-obsessed culture, with ever greater disparities in wealth, and this sort of prize just makes that worse." - http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit... - mkz
