A bit of clickbait.
The article just says he liked solitude and after being out of the pubic eye fit _40 years_, the Nobel prize made him a public figure temporarily. Hardly life ruining.
- Angostura 4y agoHardly click bait - It’s a direct reported quote from the man himself. > One of the biggest shocks I had when I was interviewing him was when he said the discovery of the boson “ruined [his] life.” I thought, “How can it ruin your life when you have done some beautiful mathematics, and then it turns out you had mysteriously touched on the pulse of nature, and everything you’ve believed in has been shown to be correct, and you’ve won a Nobel Prize? How can these things amount to ruin?” He said, “My relatively peaceful existence was ending. My style is to work in isolation and occasionally have a bright idea.” He is a very retiring person who was being thrust into the limelight.
- yellow_lead 4y agoMaybe not clickbait, but it's strange the title is derived from this short excerpt where he says his life was ruined (without much detail).
