The Supernova Cosmology Project is one of two research teams that determined the likelihood of an accelerating universe and therefore a positive Cosmological constant, using data from the redshift of Type Ia supernovae.[1] The project is headed by Saul Perlmutter at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, with 31 members from Australia, Chile, France, Spain, Sweden, UK and USA.
This discovery was named "Breakthrough of the Year for 1998" by Science Magazine[2] and, along with the High-z Supernova Search Team, the project team won the Gruber Prize in Cosmology in 2007.[3] In 2011, Perlmutter was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for this work, alongside Adam Riess and Brian P. Schmidt from the High-z team.[4]

Was just announced that Professor Saul Perlmutter of UC Berkeley/LBNL is a co-recipient of the 2011 Physics Nobel Prize for his work on discovering that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
Go Bears!

What about my work on why Sofele should not be used in short yardage??? I proved his mass was too small in any universe. I hate it when I don't win the Nobel prize. I guess I'll go for economics next.

A great interview with Cal's own Saul Perlmutter on the PBS News Hour at ~ the 25 minute mark. He gives a good explaination of increasingly expanding universes along with shot's of strawberry canyon and either Lake Temescal, Anza or the Lafayette Resevoir.
He looks like a happy camper when explaining his findings.

No, that's definitely physics. Anderson has more mass, and therefore can apply more force to a goal line defense. Physics, my friends, simple physics.

Well, that entrenches us 6th on the list of schools with nobel laureates associated with
the school....but whose counting

I never could understand why the Fundamentalist Christians didn't get off their anti-evolution rant and get behind Big Bang and ever increasing expanding universe concepts.
If there was a Big Bang: this would fit the "Let there be Light" reported in the Bible.
If there is an ever expanding universe: that fits with the Bible's prediction that at the end, the stars will fall from the sky - meaning we will not be able to see them any longer as the stars and planets move away.
Ta - dah: the convergence of Science and Religion and nobody had to be killed to achieve it.

This thread is going to be become very OT, very fast. I don't have a problem with the Big Bang as a theory but it has its limits. Evolution is something separate from the Big Bang. Darwin wasn't a physicist. I do have a problem when people put this into a package and tell me there was nothing and then there was mass and then bang and then we had bacteria that evolved into monkeys and then humans with a billion steps in between. The chances of that happening are slimmer than Chip Kelly giving a decent halftime interview.

Interesting to compare Stanfurd (only 14 graduates/attendee laureates; most of their winners are current or former faculty) and Cal (41 graduates/attendees; and still a sizable amount of faculty).
I conclude that we actually *train* Nobel winners, while they simply dangle the money and hire them.

Do the NL parking spots work on game days ? If so we may have a rush of Bear Insiders trying for Nobel Prizes ....
