First of all, i would aprechiate that you "stop" correcting me
in regard to my emails, its really anoying to have a "dadda"
talking over the head! In the far end it will only be a
bumerang effect to you Magnus, if you know what i mean!
You are absolutely free to give additional i formation but
keep my out of it, thank you wery much. Second,no im not
refering to the Royal academy, you are asuming that im doing that.
Im refering to the "whole" Nobel circus, not a single award group,
if not i would have said so in the first place.

Pomeriposa is interesting case but hardly the source of not
getting the nobel price. She is not academic enough.

Exactly this makes the Nobel stuff even more ridicolus in its
current shape. Not to mention the price in economics who hardly
contains any sience at all, just experimantal theory based on
external random parameters!You know, the options we got
at the company( you got,i did not, in the end)the value of
those options are calculated wiht a algorithm who gave
a economic dude in a suit a nobel price. One year later his
"famus" company went into likvidation!! Still we use this
algorithm of uncertainy!!

What a nobel price that was!!!!!!!

The "alternative nobel price" organisation and
the "right livelehood" are by far a better prices.

Gives a grey light to the nobel price!
