SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the ethical considerations surrounding winning a Nobel Prize in Physics, with participants expressing divergent views on the lengths they would go to achieve this honor. Some participants, like selfAdjoint, emphasize the importance of earning the prize through hard work and integrity, while others, such as Andy, provocatively suggest they would resort to unethical means. The conversation also touches on the value of collaboration and the implications of dishonesty in scientific achievement. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the tension between ambition and moral integrity in the pursuit of prestigious accolades.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of the Nobel Prize's significance in the scientific community

This discussion is beneficial for ethicists, aspiring physicists, and anyone interested in the moral implications of scientific achievement and the pursuit of prestigious awards.

I wouldn't cheat or do anything immoral to win it because i wouldn't want something that important without having earned it from hard honest graft!

The only motivation behind doing sometihng like that, for me anyway, is to know I've done something amazing, rather than made up data points!

Tell the truth. The prize is meaningless.

Why would you trade? You have the capacity to understand, if you believe you do not it is only because you just don't know it yet.

A good point, nothing needs be traded, other then the "Winning explanation".
In the end, all can share in that, as all are capable of learning it.

The responces were simply that, responces to your posts, not a direction, or 'directing', of the topic.
And I have ignored you since, this one...
Since it very clearly goes off topic.
Followed by your normal goading...
Which contributes nothing to the topic at hand.
Then naturally the attempt to "turn the tables"...
In self defence you accuse the 'other' of what you need to defend yourself from doing.
Please refrain from posting "off topic" here again please, your nature is known and adds little (nothing?) to the topic.
Unless, of course, you have something to add to the topical discussion, then feel free!
Thanks!

PSsssst, it is also very nice to see that better then 75% of the respondants/voters/posters where willing to "Make the Effort", good science requires that IM(h?)O.
