How many Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics related to GCC science will be awarded in the next 100 years?

What countries/institutions will win the largest shares of Nobel Prizes? What are the factors that will contribute to their success?|||The prize no longer has any value except as a cash reward for adhering to marxist political strategies anymore. Over the last 30 years the prize has gone to more than 50 individuals who have made the world a worse place to live or have helped the cause of the slaver over those who only want freedom. the prize is now only payment for advancing political correctness, not advancing society.|||Now there's a thought. I think most of the work that would produce Nobel Prizes would occur in the next thirty years and would roll back to include the last ten. There is an absolutely incredible amount of research at the government level throughout the world, but I expect it will be the research underway at the university level that produces the lion's share of research gems. Today I was exploring the link for Oxford University's 'Environmental Change Institute' and their 'School of Geography and the Environment,' which led me to GECAFS and FOMAS. (Global Environmental Change and Food Systems and Sweden's Research Council). In the past I've documented nearly 100 sites that involve research that will forward our knowledge of the situation and enable adaptive measures and mitigation to be implemented.





How many, then, will be awarded? Potentially, dozens. Time will tell, but the factors that contribute to their success will be the research that ensures a reliable food supply, ensures the public health, and identifies viable alternative energy sources, for starters.





Good question, and most likely one that most researchers don't ask themselves until they're well along.|||That's an interesting question. The fact that the IPCC shared the Nobel Peace Prize already makes it rather difficult to answer. The climate sciences are certainly becoming an ever more critical field of study, and thus scientists in the field have a good chance of making a discovery worthy of one of these prizes.





In particular, if a scientist were to discover a way to help mitigate global warming, I would imagine that would merit a Nobel Prize in one of these fields. Since the case for AGW has essentially been proven, I think any future Nobel Prize would have to come from a global warming mitigation discovery.





As for how many and who might win them, that's too difficult to speculate. I'd like to hope that with Obama in office, American scientists won't be impeded in their research and thus might be more likely to make such a critical discovery than they have been over the past 8 years.|||what's GCC science?


solar panels with a major increase in efficiency?


i expect that there will be few that are directly related.


there will be quite a lot that are indirectly related.





as to which countries, that's a far more difficult, and politically driven question.


which countries will come to dominate the world economy in the future.


my crystal ball is a bit cloudy, but it wouldn't surprise me if Asia became the dominant economy, and the center of scientific research.|||Fun question, based on citations from the past. It's any ones ball game. I'm glad you left Economics out of the picture. http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking鈥?/a>





(linlyons) may have accidentally stumbled onto one part of the answer. Molecular electronics could possibly include biochemistry, and biophysics. This could bridge the gap of application and affordability. It's a old concept that fringes on theoretical applici. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_e鈥?/a>





Off the top I'd speculate on the US, Japan, and Canada as taking the lions share. They seem to have a vested interest in collaboration, and most studied reviews seem to list, one or all of the mention.|||While the Gnu C compiler (GCC) is very important for science and has been involved in a huge number of research projects, it never gets the credit it deserves.|||If the next hundred years don't get any warmer, they won't be handing them out to global warming alarmists.|||Nobel lost a lot of credibility by giving Gore an award.|||Twice half the total
