Chapter 714 Spacecraft Formation

The Nobel Committee hoped to hold the award ceremony domestically, and upon reflection, it wasn't at all surprising, because the Nobel Prize's influence had been waning over the years, primarily due to questions about its fairness.

In international academic research over the past decade, whether in mathematics, physics, or areas such as biology and medicine, there's no doubt that domestic achievements were leading. Yet domestically, there had been only one medical prize awarded, and that was for work from the 1980s, which seemed somewhat unacceptable.

This perspective wasn't solely domestic; it was shared internationally.

Once a scientific award is tainted with poli-tical factors, it's no longer fair, much like the peace prize, which the whole world knows is meaningless.

The Nobel Committee's wish to hold the awards domestically also signaled that this year's prizes would definitely include domestic winners.

And possibly not just one.
