 Nobel Prize-winning Physicist On "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" Flipping channels, I happened upon this. George Smoot was really amiable. The little girl he was up against asked what he won the Nobel prize for. Told that it was for helping to figure out the origin of the universe, she said that he 'must be really smart'. Asked about his Nobel prize money, Smoot said he donated it to a scholarship fund that he hoped some of the kids on the show would be recipients of. I just watched a little, but he didn't miss any questions while I was watching. Smoot's book Wrinkles in Time was one of the first I read in my quest to learn what was known about the universe. |
