davidog.pngDave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.) Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

Dave: I see that President Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

What WERE these people thinking?

If I give some speeches about a DREAM to eradicate cancer, aids and malaria, do you think that I win the Nobel Prize in Medicine? Or do I need to get elected to be president too?
