Why Does Kp Get All The Accolades While Bell Is Generally Ignored

Why wasn't Satyendra Bose awarded the Nobel Prize even though multiple scientists have won a Nobel Prize for research based on the Boson?

The Nobel Committee awards theoretical physicists whose theories have been experimentally verified. This is due to their policy of awarding those individuals whose achievements have been "tested by time". Many Nobel-calibre physicists either pass away or are awarded very late in their life. Chandrasekhar was awarded the prize in 1983 for his work in the 1930s. Higgs was awarded in 2013 for his work in the 1960s. The first "pure" Bose–Einstein condensate was created by Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman, and co-workers at JILA on 5 June 1995. This feat was achieved 21 years after Bose's death back in 1974. They were awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the achievement of Bose–Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates." They achieved this by cooling a dilute vapor of approximately two thousand rubidium-87 atoms to below 170 nK using a combination of laser cooling and magnetic evaporative cooling. Laser cooling was invented in 1985 and improved beyond the 1990s. The 1997 Nobel prize in Physics was awarded to Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, and William D. Phillips for this invention. So as you can see, the technology required to verify Bose's theory didn't exist during his lifetime. He wrote his famous paper way back in 1924 at a young age of 30. And remember, the Nobel Committee does not give any posthumous awards as a policy. So claims of the Nobel Committee overlooking his work is simply not true. It is impossible to ignore one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics. Bose is an immortal. The great Soviet physicist Lev Landau made a popular list of great physicists known as the Landau's List. He ranked physicists on a logarithmic scale of productivity ranging from 0 to 5. The highest ranking, 0, was assigned to Isaac Newton. Albert Einstein was ranked 0.5. Satyendranath Bose, along with all the founding fathers of quantum mechanics were ranked a score of 1 . That my friend, was the great Satyendranath Bose !http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_...

Why can't we just establish mandatory Christianity everywhere?

Let’s make no mistake, this question comes from a place of a deep misunderstanding of basic human decency and rights, as well as a gross misunderstanding of religion (including Christianity) and morality. But in the hopes of teaching someone out there some basic values, let’s walk through the question, and why this would be a terrible idea.At last count, there are 2.2 billion Christians in the world, and 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. In a world that’s currently around 7.5 billion people, that also ignores the other 3.5 billion people on the planet who follow other denominations (or no denomination at all). That’s 2.2 billion people who think Christianity is right vs. 5.3 billion people that do not agree fundamentally with Christian theology. So would the 2.2 billion people just…force the other 5.3 billion? Good luck with that. It’s not like that hasn’t been tried already, with murderous and disastrous ramifications.“But wait!”, you say, “the Christians would be united and empowered by their faith, and would therefore be triumphant!” Well, no. If there’s one thing Christianity as a whole has proven, it’s that it can’t agree on one interpretation of Christian theology. What form of Christianity would be “established” here? Would it be Catholic? Orthodox? Lutheran? Baptist? Calvinist? Seventh Day Adventist? Whatever you choose, I’m sure followers of the other forms of Christianity would have something to say about this. There are deep ideological differences between these various forms of Christianity that can’t be hand-waved away. For example: Do you force the Eucharist on non-Catholics?Oh, and by the way, some of the most destructive battles and wars in Western civilization’s history have been Christian vs. Christian. The Fourth Crusade’s Sack of Constantinople, the Schmalkadic War, the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, and the Thirty Years’ War were all Christian on Christian violence on a massive scale.So what are “we” to do in this big, scary, world, if we can’t just…force our ideas and opinions on others? We learn to live with the fact that there are other people in the world. And those other people have different thoughts, opinions, likes, dislikes, and lives from our own. We accept other human beings and the possibility that we are not always right, and perhaps sometimes we can even learn from people with different views.“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”- Hamlet (1.5.167-8)
