I loved the part where Joe said that James Watson is weird and mean
Comment from : science nerd

All of these awards are actually quite meaningless when you really, really, really think about it They might play a role in promoting science but using them as measurement of "scientific greatness" is quite shallowbr Because they somehow assume that scientific work, in any kind of science is a conducted totally by certain individuals and such individuals deserve all of the credit Which are totally not how science works, it doesn't work like that now and it has never worked like that in the past All achievements now are built on the foundation of the past, every scientist is just adding a new layer on the quest of mankind for knowledge One layer is as crucial as another layer, missing one layer and the structure shall collapse
Comment from : Mark Armage

I think this discussion is irrelevant because we have a lot of high quality prizes which covers what Nobel Committee misses
Comment from : Aryaman Mishra

It was James Watson

Comment from : Levi

2:51 why's that hard for you to digest ? White men are evil oppressors how can they make invaluable contributions to the various fields of science
Comment from : Alexander Philip

You dont like it stop paying attention and stop pestering others
Comment from : Alexander Philip

I’ve been saying since 2013 that it seems extremely (Occam's Razor) obvious that all electrons and all photons are in orbit with a dark matter particle and I’ve shared my theory literally many thousands of times with hundreds of the world’s top physics universities, professors, labs, channels, etc br brBased on Fermilab and other recent findings, I now more specifically think electrons are made of an electron neutrino entangled in orbit with a dark matter muon neutrino, explaining their erratic orbits around nuclei, superposition, uncertainty, the double slit, etc just like I’ve been saying since 2013 br brI think photons are a pair of electrons entangled in orbit together in apparent an axial or helical polarizable wave-like movement depending on the direction of their rotation as they travel This explains the double slit experiment for example and the speed of the rotation explains electromagnetic wavelengths (and visible colors, etc) br br#WaveParticleDuality #TheoryOfEverything

I was still very devastated that only one or two laureate won their Nobel Prize but there are some great scientist or writer I think Nobel Prize should expand their contribution to other fields like Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics etc
Comment from : Md Asif Elkayam

I do believe that the Nobel prize is still relevant, but i also believe that more categories are needed and that women should be the recipients more often
Comment from : The Everything Channel

They are stupid
Comment from : jai 10

throughout history countless deserving women have had their work overlooked by the nobel system these prizes are arbitrary and absurd
Comment from : naina

nobel prize system has a political bent that is distateful to say the least there are many fields and brilliant innovators that have brought civilization screaming ahead in the last 200 years that are completely ignored by this organization named for the explosives engineer Nobelbrwe have seen this organization give these prizes to completely undeserving people Nobel prize has zero credibility IMO
Comment from : JLG

Definitely agree! Noble price is just an old relic and we should move pass that
Comment from : Hunnid

Ooo, James u done let it go to ur head!! U have to learn how to play nicely with others

This video is horrible One of your worst

"It was JAMES WATSON" but I won't name names
Comment from : MJaz Studio

As a biologist, it's very satisfying to see some great names of our field (like Ernst Mayr, EO Wilson, Carl Woese and J Maynard Smith) being laureated by the Swedish Academy (I'm talking about the Crafoord Prize)
Comment from : Rodrigo Vinícius

That's a very important discussion I think we should not put that much credit on a single prize, although unfortunately the Nobel Prize has been by far the most prestigious one In my opinion, the mentioned fields of Mathematics and Ecology are pretty well represented in other awards like the Fields Medal and the Crafoord Prize, respectively Btw, the last one is given by the same swedish institution responsible for some scientific Nobel Prizes
Comment from : Rodrigo Vinícius

Nobel prizes are still relevant
Comment from : Ravi Chanana

Rip Franklin, if you were whjte male maybe you would've made it
Comment from : Abhinav

Sheldon and Amy won, it should be the 3 of us but nah
Comment from : Denzel Jed Gaddi

So this prize was created by the ego of one man who profited off war, death, and destruction So every year someone gets an award for the betterment of humanity A recent president who ordered a drone strike on a hospital killing 22 innocent civilianshmm sounds rigged to me
Comment from : Droopmaster Flex

If the powers that be let me off the leash this will be ranked as one of the silliest, foolish videos ever made brThe Noble Prize should actually have more value
Comment from : austin collin

thank you for your summary, since it was stated that wining for individual work to thank that person for his committment on scientific work, it is not fair to award thousands for a work that deserve as you claim nobel prize for its final result Take for example goverments who may accedently find their result meet nobel prize but when you analyize work done, you may end up by borrowing nobel prize winners paper work It may be fair to keep the conditions as they are

Comment from : Athena Benedict

Dr Isabel Morgan was a woman who basically laid the theoretical foundations for Dr Salk's polio vaccine She helped save millions of lives but she will never be awarded for it
Comment from : Clementine 321

Also science is getting more and more collaborative so it’d be hard to just award one or 3
Comment from : noble_experiment

Funny, I was thinking about Nobel prizes right before opening YouTube and seeing it here
Comment from : Yashasvi Vangala

Winning simply because you’re a woman Now that’s logic
Comment from : Bob

skip it
Comment from : Brian

The title should be changed to "Do the scientific Nobel Prizes Still Make Sense in the 21st Century" because the peace prize stopped making sense a long time ago, and the literature prize is not relevant to the video either
Comment from : Andy Z Gong

It was Jameis Winston

Good video we need more talk on this and the comments are toxic
Comment from : jessie mayfield

Wow HE IS MAD
Comment from : Mohamad Misbah

If I have a suggestion why white males have won most of the nobel prizes: It's because they actually discovered and invented most things due to their unique genetic and cultural background
Comment from : Martin Štěpán

The video was great, except for the joke at the end about Youtube videos They don't deserve a nobel prize because they are nowhere near as influential as Physics or Economics or Biology Sneak them into Literature or something :)
Comment from : Tao Lin

Of course it is effective today !!

I think they shouldn't have subject
Comment from : Suf Sanin

You know what you don't need Nobel prize to be famous in this field of sciencesbrNo genius ever worked for science to get Nobel prizebrThey work for their satisfaction

Comment from : Liander Pottas

The video focused only on the science prize, leaving aside the most important one (and the only one that actually matters): Literature Boring

The one who will fix this issue with Nobel Prizes will get a Nobel Prize

Molly Oldfield's secret museum has an article about Nobel's will I would recommend everyone to pick up this gem of a book!
Comment from : Pooja

I shocked shocked that pbs used this as a opportunity to denigrate white western males contribution to society
Comment from : carlos jones

It's not relevant anymore, the brain of a whole community working together to make the world a better place is significantly way better than any lone genius

Is there a possiblity that western white men tend to be raised with better values and morals and better educated to set them up for these awards

Comment from : CZRbumm

Thumbs down for the identity politics angle Do you seriously believe there should be affirmative action in scientific accomplishment? How unscientific of you
Comment from : Sassol66

What if the vast majority of great scientists are white males? Are you suggesting the prize should misrepresent reality? If a woman wins just because she's a woman, won't it be demeaning and patronizing?
Comment from : Ilya Kogan

we need more wamen

Noble peace prize are now award to anyone who are good in organizing protest creating chaos and unrest instigateing people against their government in the name of democracy and freedom supporting the America government Human Rights system
Comment from : Richard Teh

Lame
Comment from : Brian Darlage

But nothing It's mostly white men winning Nobel prizes because it's mostly white men making the discoveries If it was some racist or exist conspiracy you would NEVER see women or minorities winning, yet you dobrbrEquality comes at opportunity, not at outcomesbrbrAnd no, women aren't under represented in sciences They just aren't interested in science Women are CHOOSING not to go into STEM and you see it as some sort of oppression Please, find me the college that isn't allowing women to enroll in physics classes
Comment from : Kur Norock

there should be a Nobel prize for astronomy or at least music or the arts

Comment from : Rico L

Nobel prize for CERN!
Comment from : Gonzalo Ale

Why be critical of an award for scientific or creative achievement? Fair enough that women are underrepresented but so are minorities Seems to me that a relatively obscure awards ceremony held in Sweden is kind of the Swede's problem
