Well you're remembered for having an immense impact for generations to come, not necessarily winning an award. Einstein is remembered for transforming physics, not winning the Nobel. Just like MLK is remembered for the civil rights movement not winning the Nobel peace prize.
- pyuser583 4y agoSome folks are remembered just for the Nobel. Elias Canetti comes to mind - his only meaningful work was non-fiction, and therefore didn’t qualify. Winston Churchill is the similar … remembered as a political leader, but won the Nobel in Literature, not Peace. Einsteins Nobel was for Brownian motion, which isn’t what pops to mind when you think “Einstein.”
- kgwgk 4y ago> Einsteins Nobel was for Brownian motion "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect"
