They should get a Nobel prize!


Even if it is just honorary; they have done so much for the popularisation of physics and chemistry.

Maybe we just should begin to "stalk" the Nobel prize staff, starting with the CEO:

Nobels are reserved for actual scientists doing actual science.

Why do you think I said honorary? I know the Nobel Prize is for direct achievements in the respective fields, but the Peace price is a bit of an odd ball in this one; people can be nominated without any direct achievements to be seen (case in point; Donald Trump)

So maybe they can make some sort of exception. Just a nod to them for all they did for science.

Any idiot can be nominated, even you, that is not the "odd ball" part. The oddity is that people without any direct achievement can actually win (case in point; Barak Obama)

How are politicians like Barack Obama and Al Gore scientists.

They're not. their Nobel prize was for "Peace" (ie Nobel Peace Prize) not science.

And still very controversial and seemingly arbitrary.

They hand them out to clowns like Obama and Al Gore, so what the hell, why not give one to the Mythbusters? At least they did something.
