Talk:Nobel Prizes

I confess -- it is something of an embarassment to me, that I seem to be required to start developing this topic myself. However, I had some questions concerning the Nobel prizes, so it seems I must seek out and collect the information, in order to answer those questions.

THE TWENTY-TWENTY VISION

With only eight years left, will it be possible for an elementary school class of about twenty-five students to accomplish developments of such distintion that they will be awarded SEVERAL Nobel prizes? "Politics is not designed to solve problems" -- Dr. Steve Perry -- so I am putting my hopes on the most creative people on the planet -- those who have not yet had their creativity stifled by an uninspiring "educational" system. I think the prizes in (Computational) Chemistry, Economics, Physiology,and for promoting peace should be relevant and within reach of elementary school students, if only they can be suitably informed and encouraged. Why do I think this is possible? Because I have already read a report (in a science journal) that such students, playing a well-designed video game, have already participated in significant research on the complicated problems of protein folding (a problem in Computational Chemistry).

Won't three or four Nobel prizes look great on their resumes when they finish high school?

Here is something I learned while doing my research:

"A prize may not be shared among more than three people."

I think the idea of a prize-winning class of elementary school children is still a good idea. However, it now appears that I will need to seek some other venue.

P. S. I have been reading about "foldit" in some otf the science news magazines. I will need to look this ("foldit") up.
