>>6141833
dont they all look the same?
besides, we have better shit to do than guess randomly at shit no-one cares about

>>6141840
It's within the last 10 years.

Alfred Nobel, the weapons manufacturer?

>>6141849
[sarcasm] oh great, well that fucking narrows it down then [/sarcasm]

>>6141833
Is it Englerts formula for the higgs boson?

>>6141852
>>6141880
Nope, and nope.

>>6141951
10 years is way too hard, do you realize multiple people win for the same nobel prize?

At least tell us the category or narrow down the years.

Is this one of the ones where if you peel off the gold, there's chocolate?

>>6142041
Last 3 years.

>>6142056
field?

Adam Riess

>>6142068
H-how?

>>6142068
You can't really see his name but that's correct. I was expecting people to guess what it was won for like >>6141880 but not the person outright.

Was it just a guess or do you go to JHU?

>>6142090
Next question, why do you have Adam Reiss' Nobel Prize? /sci/ is for homework and troll threads, take your off-topic shit elsewhere.

>>6142097
I am Adam Reiss, can't you see my intense physics calculations behind my medal?

>>6142107
>I am Adam Reiss, can't you see my intense physics calculations behind my medal?

wtf wtf wtf

>>6142107
>Only a single integral
>intense

Baby adam reiss can't even triple integral?

>>6142121
Once you're at my level you don't need to use 3 integrals. I'm so advanced I only need one.

>>6142133

can you put a timestamp and /sci/ beside that nobel?

>>6142136
No, because I'm clearly not a Nobel laureate.

Though obviously I do know him, since I have his Nobel prize.

>>6142142
Oh well in that case, fuck off.

>>6142136
No because it isn't him you twat.

W-what did it feel like?

>>6142142
>No, because I'm clearly not a Nobel laureate.
>Though obviously I do know him, since I have his Nobel prize.

i don't follow. nothing precludes you from timestamping that baby for us. it would be the greatest pic on /sci/

>>6142151
Unfortunately I don't have it anymore. By "have" I meant "had". I can time stamp the notebook behind it, but not the medal. He's a pretty laid back guy but not laid back enough to let a student run off with his nobel prize.

>>6142155
;_;

>>6141833
how heavy is that thing? is it pure gold?

>>6142158
If you do a reverse image search you won't find any matches. That's all I got besides timestamping the writing behind the medal.

>>6142150
Heavier than I expected, also it wasn't very shiny. I'm not sure if that's because it isn't 24 karat gold or if it's because he doesn't polish it.

What's the cash value of that piece of metal? 175 grams of 18 carat green gold plated with 24 carat gold leaf.

Best I could do for a timestamp, sorry guys. At the time he was giving a lecture on his work. He handed out his medal and said "everyone always gets a kick out of this" and it got passed around. That's when I took this picture, I wasn't even thinking about time stamping it, I was just like "wtf he just handed me his nobel prize".

He's a pretty cool guy.

>>6142185
I have a full on boner now.

>>6142185
Mother of god that's proof enough for me. Someone cap this.

>>6142121
I don't think he has a PhD in mathematics.

>>6141833
>Try and guess who it belongs to.
It's probably Hitler, Pol Pot, Gadaffi or some of the other nobel peace prize winners.

>>6142121
>the more integrals the better!

please graduate calc 3

>>6142185
Well, I am glad that the actual nobel prize winner wasn't the one on /sci/. but this is pretty cool.

>Nobel laureate hands you the medal
>doesn't take a pic and timestamps it with some future time/date
>doesn't come on various forums and starts trolling at that time

I think I just came. Holy shit

>>6142287
now /sci/ has its own shit to spam in ylyl threads on /b/

Posting in an inspirational th-thread

Wait, I'm on 4chan. Why is this happening?

Thanks, OP. This is really nice content.

>>6141833
>not dissolving the medal in HCL/HNO3
>not hiding the liquid for later gold extraction
what a faget

How much BBQ'd pork does Adam eat every day? And what's his favorite shade of lipstick?

OP is a fag.


this guy sends me fucking Christmas cards (although they are "happy holidays" cards since hes a big jew)

Also I am good friends with David Gross' stepdaughter.

I had a massive boner inducing crush on her when I was in 5th grade.

wtf am I reading?

>>6142068
I still want to know if this was dumb luck or not.

>>6142454
0.0023 liters and crimson rose.

>>6142489
And? I'm not bragging that I know him, I'm bragging that I held his Nobel Prize. He's pretty legendary on campus (I go to JHU), but as an engineer I never expected to get that close to a nobel prize medal.

>>6142492
This is 4chan, what do you expect?

>>6142332
I KNOW
and on /sci/ of all places. good thread OP. too bad it'll 404 before all the troll threads.

It would be a crime to let this thread die.

Everyone must see this.

Higgs/Englbert?

OP are you still here

Posting in an epic fucking thread.

>>6143729
I am, I'll keep monitoring this thread until that guy tells me how he guessed Adam Reiss almost instantly.

>>6143747
I talked to a Nobel laureate once, I asked them if their life had changed any and they said it hadn't. They said they still get treated the same and nobody knows who they are.

I am curious if you have heard Adam Reiss say anything similar/different?

>>6142185
Holy shit. What was he like?
Was the lecture any good?

Bump cause I am interested in knowing how that nigga guessed Adam Reiss

>>6143920
If you are >>6143747 and thus OP, why don't you answer >>6143765?

Captcha: because calcatn

His lecture was interesting, but very plain. He dumbed down his work significantly, but he had incredibly intuitive ways to describe his findings. I enjoyed it, especially since I know almost nothing about high level cosmology like that.

He also doesn't seem like his "fame" has changed him, that being said I didn't really know of him before he won the prize. He's a HUGE deal on campus, but outside of that I'm sure no one even knows who he is. I will say that he was pretty humble about winning the Nobel prize. A couple of times he made jokes about how he didn't even do anything "I just did some math", and even included a conversation he had with his colleagues about his findings where Brian Schmidt said:

>As serious scientists and researches (LOL), I feel we have an obligation to check our work before submitting it, but I hope it's right!

It was pretty down to earth to see Nobel Prize winning work discussed like that.

>>6143963
>It was pretty down to earth to see Nobel Prize winning work discussed like that.
Well, at the time they didn't know they would win a Nobel Prize for it.

>>6143747
>Wondering how he knew
He's clearly Adam Reiss. Adam will recognize his own medal.

>>6143747
I was sitting behind you when you took that picture, you faggot.

>>6147435
I want to believe.

>>6147435
See, you fucked up for two reasons.

1. I was sitting in the back of the class
2. Everyone in that class browses reddit, and has no idea that a science board exists on 4chan.

>>6148222
You go ahead and keep thinking that.

>>6148259
So you're either alex, or the smelly neck beard who sat to my right.

>>6147435
>I was sitting behind you when you took that picture, you faggot.


anon is everywhere!

>>6148559

Bump for why Adam Reiss browses /sci/
>tfw we brose /sci/

Definitely one of the better threads today.
