1965 Nobel Prize Physics, Tomonaga, Schwinger, Feynmann award speech

Status of QED by 1965, not 1947.

Found this very interesting speech given at the 1965 Nobel Prize Physics award ceremony. It touches on some of the topics discussed here.
http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_priz...965/press.html

The next big advances in the following ten years were Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) which deals with the strong nuclear force and Electroweak Theory which is an extension of QED and is the unification of electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces.

Although I did generate a bit of doubt with respect to the Nobel Prize, when someone managed to score one for Physics after inventing the blue LED.

I also heard a rumour that they hand out Nobel prizes for economics - I didnt realise that there was a category for Voodoo and Circus acts.

I have a patent for a novel propeller in the pipeline - may send a Fax to Oslo next week. Worth a shot
