The Nobel Prize Ceremony of 2011. (December 12, 2012)
Last week were the annual festivities of press conferences, receptions, Nobel Lectures, concerts and royal banquets. On Saturday December 10, the Laureates received their Nobel Prizes during Award Ceremonies that ended with Nobel Banquets.
A full listing of the links for the occasion are available at http://www.nobelprize.org/index.html
Below we list a digest of the principal ones.
As regards the links below for the Physics Nobel Prize of 2011
The actual order of the lectures was:
Nobel Lecture by Brian P. Schmidt
Nobel Lecture by Adam G. Riess
Nobel Lecture by Saul Perlmutter
That's of consequence because they were designed by the laureates to follow one another.
Finally the 37 minute interview of the three, http://www.nobelprize.org/mediaplayer/index.php?id=1745 says a great deal of how good science works.
