Gerardus 't Hooft
Quote: "Isn't that " 't " in my name the coolest thing ever?"

Award: The Nobel Prize in Physics 1999
"for elucidating the quantum structure of electroweak interactions in physics"

...and about time, I might add!

(Just wondering...)
Are black holes elementary particles? Are elementary particles black holes? I was stunned to learn that Hawking's result would put black holes in a category fundamentally different from any ordinary form of matter. If that were so, then what exactly are the laws of physics for black holes? The answer is that present theories are inconclusive. They clash. They lead to a paradox...

Very nice,

I actually took some physics classes at the Univeristy of Illinois. Looking at the dates, I wasn't there when he was, but a good selection non the less.

Even though I'm not playing I have decided to change my avatar to be in the spirit of the game.

If we ever re-do this, but with Chemistry winners, as a Rice student, I got dibs on Richard Smalley.

In that case, put me down for Fred Sanger. Two times Chemistry Nobel prize winner from Cambridge (that's the real Cambridge, in the UK). Maximum Nobel pwnage
