What makes 2021 Physics Nobel Prize special?

Physics Noble Prize Laureates

This year Physics Noble Prize has been divided among three Scientists:

Syukoro Manabe (USA)

Klaus Hasselmann (Germany)

Giorgio Parisi (Italy)

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences committee jointly decided to award these three scientists with the Noble Prize in Physics. The work of the three Laureates is different in various aspects however they share monotony in solving the complex problems of the world with the help of physics.

The work of two Laureates Syukoro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann is related to climate change, how it affects the world today following the continuing burning of greenhouse gases since the Industrial Revolution. They have designed computer models that help measure the earth’s climate and predict how far the environment would be increasing because of the rising global warming.

Manabe in his research discovered that if you double the CO2 in the atmosphere, the temperature would increase by 2 degrees Celsius. And Klaus made an analogy between the rapidly varying weather and slowly varying climate. Here he explains his work with the help of Einstein’s Brownian motion which says, the rapid weather fluctuations influence climate.

Klaus further adds that the weather on the time scale of days influences the oceans on the time scale of years.

The third Noble Laureate Giorgio Parisi has a little different contribution to physics. He won the prize as a result of successfully presenting the evidence in the physics field which help understand the difficult and chaotic phenomenon. His work is applicable to varying fields, such as biology, mathematics, neuroscience, and the growing machine learning processes.

Why does this Noble Prize matter?

The biggest challenge this planet faces today is climate change. The Paris climate accord 2015 signed by 196 parties, maneuvered a climate policy to restrict the rising temperature at 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2100 years. However, the limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius is going to be surpassed at the end of this decade in 2030, almost 70 years earlier than predicted in the accord.

This award honors the Climate Scientists whose work has led to the discovery of how carbon dioxide will change the scale of the environment in the coming few years. If the climate is not tackled today, it will have a grieving impact in the future and might not be possible for anyone to retreat anytime soon. This Noble prize is also important because it has been announced before the United Nation’s forthcoming Climate Conference in November 2021.

Thanks for your company!

Steal like an artist by Austin Kleon

Book Cover (Source: Tapan Desai) Summary (informal) Everyone wants to become something in his life. There’s no single formula to achieve one’s desired destination. In this rapidly changing information climate, everything has become more competitive and less rewarding for those who do not pay more attention to details. It is healthy to settle one’s mind to steal ideas productively from those who have experimented with them successfully. There’s no harm in stealing ideas as there’s nothing as new to the world today given the scale of information exchange around the globe due to the Internet. Since everything is already available on Google, one must go there and copy from authentic sources. Make changes in it and sell it to the world. While you are working on the project, keep an eye on wrongs that might discredit the efforts. Copying from a single person is plagiarism, but doing the same thing from more than one is research. A good artist always credits his work to those from w

Why reading books is important?

There can be various aspects to this question. However, I will stick to a few points to convey to your mind why reading is an important exercise. Human is social being and to understand the world we need to learn new information constantly. The learning must be slow and fast. No one can learn all the information available out there at once. For Humans to learn and that too authentic, a companion/teacher is required. Books can be trustworthy teachers in our lives. As we know, the human brain is a unique engineering tool. We can see things and make a judgment about them. We can hear the voice and make a particular opinion about it. We can walk on the ground and make an analogy of how it’s different from other parts of the world. We continuously improvise our ideas as we get updated information passing through our heads. This trait is unique and makes us better than Chimpanzee. Our minds require a continuous flow of information, and this information can be about anything, even the color

7 lessons I learned from the Al Chemist

Lesson #1:- Humans are tested with calamities and challenges to build a stronger intellectual ground where they can protect their lives and become able to create a better world for future generations. Those who risked their lives and followed their dreams, they have got the victory. And those who did not risk, and played it safe, merely stopped where they needed to start. Lesson #2:- Santiago in the search of his legend (true inner self) encountered challenges and a few close calls to death. In the search for treasure, he fearlessly bids on his life by selling his sheep to an old King joins a crystal shop in an unknown part of Africa, and finally embarks on the longest journey towards the Pyramids of Egypt. His passion to find the unknown treasure based on his audacious belief in omens led him to overpower all the negative forces that could have stopped him from achieving his legend. Quote “If you believe in yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become
