This has great implications for blockchain. The interferometer is basically a blockchain at it's core. The trust circle it generates enables physicist to investigate bigger and bigger beams. Very excited!
- StavrosK 9y agoI am entirely unsure whether you're joking.
- fsck--off 9y agoThe account is 25 minutes old, so I would assume so
- BasDirks 9y agoAnd as we all know, after 25 minutes of exposure to HN, one loses any and all sense of humor.
- SimbaOnSteroids 9y agoDear lord, do the Germans know we're encroaching on their turf?
- davrosthedalek 9y agoAs a German, I don't find this funny.
- StavrosK 9y agoThat joke was so self-referential my brain short-circuited, well done.
- IncRnd 9y agoSurely, You're Joking, Mr. Nerd.
- KGIII 9y agoI am convinced they are joking. I know that HN frowns on humorous posts that add nothing to the conversation, but I legitimately laughed. There's so much hype about blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and ICOs, that it is kind of surprising that the tech (or a person) hasn't been awarded a prestigious award that it's not really qualified for. I guess there is still the one for economics that isn't really a Nobel prize but has a different name.
- IncRnd 9y agoI think that moving forward we need to preserve all Nobel prizes for posterity, otherwise they are in danger of reductive values subject to fiat currencies of the dollar values of awards. The best place for this type of currency storage is always by converting to smart contracts. Smart contracts provide the necessary certainty that comes with binding and unchangeable code, even if it hasn't had the opportunity to be audited for correctness. If some unfortunate Nobel prize winners don't see the full value of their smart contracts, due to ethereum gas, any issues will always be fixed in the smart contracts for subsequent winners. Open Source Blockchains have been shown to be double blind statistical anomalies that always get fixed sooner or later.
- rjromero 9y agoFunniest post I’ve ever read on HN. Bursted out laughing.
- smokedmomsstash 9y agoWhat on earth are you on about?
- pducks32 9y agoThis is the most 2017 thing to ever be said.
- pducks32 9y agoIs there some way this ties into Rick and Morty?
- Ygg2 9y agoYes. Rick is a poor scientist.
- samfriedman 9y agoGravitational waves are just the universe trying to get us to buy into its ICO.
- physicsnerd 9y agoI am writing a blockchain implementation using go, rust and quantum: livir-go[1]. I started when the news broke out and half finished already.
