Nobel Prizes
Here are some videos from the University of Nottingham on Nobel Prizes. The staff there have received letters from the Nobel Prize committee, asking them to nominate people for the prize.
I still don't understand why Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize. I think it was rigged. He didn't do enough things in office to win that prize. He hasn't even been in office for one year! I do wonder who and how Obama was selected as a prize-winner for the peace prize.
In college I went to see V.S. Naipaul, just after he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. He spoke in front of a crowd of over 600 people at the Boston Public Library. He answered questions from the audience. I do remember him saying that he preferred to read things that would make him learn something, as opposed to simply for entertainment. He also said that it would be better for students to obtain science degrees these days, because arts degrees have become too easy to get. He said it was difficult for him to say all that because Boston is such a large educational centre. There are about 51 colleges and universities in the metropolitan area. For an example, he said that many years ago English majors would have to study Old English, and now that isn't required.
Nobel Prize in Physics about fibre-optic cables:
That is from the Youtube channel "Sixty Symbols" which is on physics. It has videos filmed a the University of Nottingham in England.
Nobel Prize in Chemistry on x-ray crystallography:
This video is from "Periodic Videos", another Youtube channel from the University of Nottingham.
