What the hell? He talks like a stupid creationist.
LOL, but you should admit that the pictures are just beautiful
You see, Keith, people who get the Nobel Prize sometime achieve Nirvana. For example, Josephson currently studies the physics of the Spirit.
As far as I understand, there exists generic danger associated with getting the Nobel Prize (especially, in the young age), so if you are really interested in physics, you probably wouldn’t actually want to get one
Cheers,
Dmitry.

I certainly agree that the pictures are beautiful, that just mean that Nature is beautiful. Any further association with whatever supernatural is irrelevant.

I agree. Probably after getting the prize, the winner feels that he has arrived at the apex of physics, and he gets a lot of fame and publicity, so he may start doing something else.
