I was just listening to the news, and apparently over 3000 people were more or less involved with the work at CERN. I don't think the physics prize has ever been awarded to an institution like the peace prize has been in the past, and I think the Academy simply chose not to break tradition.
- _pferreir_ 13y agoThey could have awarded it to the CMS and ATLAS experiments as well. No need to award it to CERN.
- davrosthedalek 13y agoThat's not a significantly lower number of people.

- aestra 13y agoThey can't award it to CERN or CMS or ATLAS. At most 3 individual people can split one prize.
