The peace prize had become a farce well before that.

>President Barack Obama announced a 30-year, $1 trillion program to modernize the U.S. nuclear-weapon arsenal.

Apparently the guys responsible for detecting gravitational waves are pretty confident (one of my lecturers helped out on the project). Honestly, I can't see it though. They only confirmed something that was predicted by Einstein. The prize for the Higgs wasn't given to the guys at CERN, it was given to Peter Higgs himself (and the other guy, whose name escapes me). I feel bad that they've got their hopes up now.

reminder that Nobel is famous for inventing dynamite, which he thought would lead to wars being too terrible to fight. Instead it led to the first era of terror bombing.
Bentley Ward
He literally made all of his money as an arms dealer. He only established the award because he developed a guilty conscience later in life.

>Muh Obama meme
Look at this pleb, user Ghandi didn't get one. The prize pretty much lost most of it's luster as soon afterwards.
Not that it matters since you probably never had enough knowledge about it's laureates to legitimately care about the peace prize.

I think it's definitely gonna be gravitational waves. The people who made the first Bose-Einstein condensate also got a Nobel prize, that was also predicted a long time ago.
I might be wrong, but I've heard that the problem with the Higgs discovery was that there were simply too many people involved at CERN, and they could only pick 3.

>Nobels are just a popularity contest
Unfortunately, this is true to some degree, even for the STEM prizes.
Literature and Peace however are pure politics, i.e. trash.

Nobel lost all credibility when they gave the peace prize to Obama.
