Editorial, Dec 09 2009 *** Nobel prizes from 1901 to 1951 just in Medicine With a 107 nominators from London is not strange that they get 229 nominees from that area in the history of the prize. The prizes are mathematically correlated to the amount of nominations from those sites. Other ratios nominees/nominators.- Cambridge 75/31 Liverpool 24/36 Edinburg 18/12 Cambridge 31/75 Oxford 17/100 (genius people LOL(-:) Just keep that in mind. That is what the world does not need, people living with systems and customs of the 18 century. Monarchies and castles, attitude and inclinations to "know it all" based in here so and so say or hear. Big wigs arguing with not so big (or so much) hair that the distance to the moon is 18 cm. shorter than previously advertised. People that know how many millions of years ago one stone fell from a meteor but can not figure out what bus turn in the corner yesterday. Scientific communities with golf field education. Universities degrees of 50 hours text-book and 300 playing dragons and wizards or who-knows-what. After 1951 the trend have been shifting (partially) toward United States, Russia and France. Jumping slowly from Mr. Pinkerton to Joe the Weirdo. From snuff to sniff. From powder to tattoos. From Sir to nerd. There is a correlation between the influence of a country in the UN and the "scientific achievement rewards" the influence meaning the permanent position in the Security Council. By my calculations if Murdoch can live for two hundred years he could predict, without failure, every single prize winner in every kind of contest in the world. Not using for that effect a oracle, just giving orders to his staff about what to tell people, who is the smart, who is the good and the bad, what will be the next Disney famous doll or what movie should be played in schools for instruction. Mr. Media Controller will inform us who should die or live, what descendant of Hebner will write the 11 commandment or what Mason disciple will introduce the next amendment to the Constitution. What foreign head of state should be eliminated to defend our freedom and how the country need us to shut up and obey, even at the risk of our life, the whatever happens to be in charge. Just because we elect him/her. Like if any of us will know who or what will be the choice. We, or you will be so aware of what respect for science should be that we will accept machines controlling our daily lives. Is not to far, just look in your market o store for a machine taking over the job of the cashier and some robotic lawmaker talking about unemployment. In the other hand, if the apocalypses take too long in its development there are a big probability that the Arab world recuperate his old status in the scientific area. All this as far as Afghanistan does not become the 50 something state in wish case all the brain of that race will be branded "American" There are, also the prospect, that even in those extraordinary circumstances the Jewish people do not lose his good standing in entertainment and literature, conditioned to renouncing to their political hegemony over the Palestinian territory and moving their people to Utah or in its defect accepting that Moses is the supreme historical entity in that land and furthermore they should be looking for a way of integrating the Koran and the Bible. Summary.- If we have to live under the precepts of the Royal Swedish Academy and the Karolinska Institute for education and health and the Grammies, Oscars, Bears and Palms for entertainment and the Olympic Committee for sports and henceforth, we all, can became prophets as well and try to look for solutions, hopes, role models and the likes under our own rules.
