Well this made me nostalgic.  The first story I ever covered as a reporter… 40 years ago… a local guy won the Nobel Prize for Physics.

The News Director says… go cover his conference.  Haha… and I’m sure nuff boss.

So Cub Reporter Jeff… I go to the event — first question for this Princeton Professor Val Fitch…  Cub Reporter Jeff asks how’d you find out that you won?

he says I got a phone call at 4 in the morning. 

 that’s why I’m nostalgic.   Other day they awareded the 2020 Nobel Prize for Physics.  Stanford Professor Pasyul Milgrom woulda gotten that call.  But the Nobel Committee in Sweden didn’t have his phone number.   So his neighbor… who shared the prize… rang his doorbell 2:15 amt with the news….and it was caught on the winner’s doorbell camwera. 

Same exact reaction as the guy 40 years ago.  A monotonic “wow.”   By the way… the discovery 40 years ago was something we take for granted today.   Through a billion chalkboard scribblings straight out of a mad scientist movie… Val Fitch proved the Universe is Out of Whack.  It’s unbalanced.   Something 2020 proves to us every single day.
