Reflections on today’s Nobel Prize in Physics awarded for neutrino research.

Alfred Nobel established the prize; its aim has been to recognize contributions that benefit humanity—even if only one such contribution is made in a given year. Were Nobel alive today, he would undoubtedly reward me, for I have made over fifty great discoveries, which benefit humanity.
