I’m probably getting the exact details wrong, however: I once read that he had a golf partner for over 30 years, and this golf partner only learned that Bardeen had two Nobels after Bardeen had died.
- DubiousPusher 5y agoIDK, his just seems normal to me. Why would your Nobels come up during golf unless you were trying to work it in. Which is pretty classless.
- kaesar14 5y agoMaybe over ONE round of 18, but winning the world's most prestigious prize, twice, for your work never coming up in 30 years? Frankly, that's quite amazing.
- saeranv 5y agoI feel like it would take superhuman restraint to not work it in once during 30 years though. If it were me I'd never shut about it.
- ravi-delia 5y agoIf I won a Nobel, let alone two I wouldn't make it through more than a month of knowing someone without mentioning it. That's...probably among the many things that separate me from Nobel candidates. Only the mediocre feel they have something to prove.
- hasmanean 5y agoWhere did he think those new golf clubs upgrades came from, twice?
- j7ake 5y agoPeople would mention about getting a new job, new promotion, or graduating, let alone winning the biggest prize in science.
