Clarification of Question by pendleton-ga on 05 Aug 2003 07:32 PDT

I thought this was an easy question compared to others I have asked.
Can any even make a comment (sometimes those are as good as answers).

Give me some feel of what one needs to get a Nobel prize. How
extraordinary
does their work or discovery need to be?

How about this?  Is there a web site for listings and history of Nobel
prize winners (or just science winners--- my interest)

Thanks.

These pages should answer most parts of the question:

http://www.nobel.se/physics/
http://www.nobel.se/physics/nomination/index.html
http://www.nobel.se/physics/nomination/nominators.html

Also, you might like to check out a book called, "The Road to
Stockholm," which is about what is involved in aiming for a Nobel
Prize.  Here's a link: http://www.princeton.edu/~eszter/rs/
