Sorry, I do fail to see the humour. Maybe you should look into a bit more detail of why Kenneth G. Wilson at CalTech discovery (and possible applications) in 1982 actually won him the Nobel Prize in Physics.
It was his innovative method of statistical physics was a major advancement and solved the problem of the so-called Kondo effect regarding electrical resistance against temperature approaching absolute zero. Another is the behaviour of liquid Helium at very low temperatures I.e. Climbing up the container walls. He also solved several of the problems in quantum mechanic fields - one being actually being ; what does renormalization mean?
