Description
This month’s podcast is about the Nobel prize and the hype that has surrounded it for decades, as described in Brian Keating’s new book Losing the Nobel Prize. In 2014, Keating was confident that the invention he had helped to create – the most powerful telescope for cosmology that had ever been built – and its findings would lead him to the Nobel prize. But when he lost the prize, Keating found himself compelled to re-evaluate the prize he had loved for so long, and ask how relevant it was for a modern world.
