Every year, the Nobel Prize committee recognizes the top scientists whose contributions have stood the test of time and fundamentally altered the state of their field. Based on this fact, I have compiled the following list of hard sciences:

Chemistry
Literature
Peace
Physics
Physiology or Medicine
Economics

Is there no Nobel Prize for engineering? If not, then there should be.

it's for child

Don't forget the Nobel Prize in Biology. Francis and Crick got that for DNA, for example.

You mean Watson and Crick, and it was the Medicine prize.

>> No.4587277

>>4587258
Literature is a hard science, but most people don't follow the scientific principles of literature. Ever heard of metrical foot? That is science.

>> No.4587278

>>4587274
But today that'd be in biology I think.

>> No.4587282

>>4587249
Science in engineering can be every bit as rigorous.

>> No.4587285

The Nobel Prize is a joke.

Pretty sure it was Francis and Crick, and pretty sure it was biology.

Physiology and Medicine IS the "biology" prize.

>> No.4587305

>>4587282
Engineering is applied science.

Hard science -> corresponding applied science:
Chemistry -> chemical engineer
Literature -> literary engineer
Peace -> pacific engineer
Physics -> physical engineer
Physiology or medicine -> physical or medical engineer
Economics -> economical engineer

Engineers are smart people too, they put together all the work that hard scientists do and apply it to make the world a better place. It's only once the engineers apply a discovery that the scientists who discovered it gets the Nobel Prize.

>>4587285

The Peace Prize is a joke. The rest are the highest honors in their respective fields.

>> No.4587309

>>4587292
No, that prize is for physiological or medical discoveries, not biological ones.

>> No.4587314

>>4587231

Engineers become billionaires instead of getting prizes.

>> No.4587319

>>4587309

Well then there's no biology prize.

>> No.4587322

>>4587319
I guess biology isn't a hard science then.

>> No.4587324

Anyone hating on literature is just mad because they aren't good at literary study.

>> No.4587326

guiz lets make a literature, peace, and economics prize but no mathematics or computer science prize.

EPIC XDDDDDD

>> No.4587336

>>4587319
Biological discoveries are covered under chem and medicine. And anyway, there are plenty of non-Nobel prizes to go around.

>> No.4587338

>>4587305

>Literature -> literary engineer

This is known as a propagandist.

>> No.4587350

>>4587336
No, chem only includes chemical discoveries. Biologies aren't chemicals.

>> No.4587347

>>4587326
Math and computer science are good fields, but they are not hard science. Please see Fields Medal and Turing Award.

>> No.4587351

>>4587347
Well sure, but why include Peace and Literature then if we are only going by hard sciences?

>> No.4587356

>>4587324
None of them prize winners are trained in literary studies, they just write fiction. Anyone good in writing fiction has a shot at that as long as it's in the right genre of fiction.

>nobel prize
>not a joke

>> No.4587362

>>4587351
Because they are hard sciences. That's why the Nobel committee includes them.

>> No.4587393

>>4587356
It has to be applicable.
