    This article raises so many more questions than it answers!

    1. why are they still calling people? It’s 2025!

    2. I thought runner ups were informed?

    3. how long is their off the grid hiking trip?

    4. why is 9 hours time difference such a problem? (Related to 1 and to the European centralism of the Nobel prices that I don’t really want to rant about)

      The time difference was a problem since they got called by an unknown number from sweden in the middle of the night and just ignored it. So I guess being half asleep was the problem.

      I’m curious. Nobel Foundation is private, so what can anyone do about it?

        Only rant on the internet 🤣

        Yeah, they can do what they want with no oversight that I know of, but the Nobel Prize is considered the holy grail of world wide scientific research, while it is very skewed in its selection process and its results.
