This is a great blog post, with lots of wonderful links, but I do think the author is reading into things.
Here's an interview in dutch with Ben years before he received the nobel prize. You can see that he has a love for discovery, but you can also see that he cares about the prize.
Interviewer: So in the future, maybe the nobel prize will go to nanotechnology?
Ben: There's definitely a chance that the nobel prize will go to nanotechnology in the future.
Interview: Maybe it'll go to you!
Ben: ::big grin::

- thicknavyrain 9y agoHi, thanks for the kind words and especially for translating from the Dutch! I did anticipate that I was perhaps looking into it a little to much, so it's always nice to clear up some speculation with a bit of evidence. Of course, 12 years is a long time, perhaps his outlook on science has changed somewhat, I was almost tempted to email him and ask about it but I thought "A man too busy to update his professional website is certainly too bust to respond to an insignificant inquiry regarding the /state/ of his website".
- richardfeynman 9y agoYou're welcome. If you were on the fence about emailing him, you can use this thread as an excuse :-).
