...principle naturally extends beyond biology. While science owes its success to its rigorous methods, the search for truth is much more than a process. There is an end truth to be sought. Indeed, while Einstein may have been right to contend that “I have never obtained any ethical values from my scientific work,” it must be remembered that then, as now, science was incomplete...

...dementia (not a good idea). Past laureates have espoused eugenics, opposed public school, joined the Nazi party and claimed that the Sept. 11 attacks were an inside job. But the majority of prizes have reflected sound discoveries (X-rays, quantum physics, penicillin) and respected leaders (Martin Luther King, Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela). Much has been made of Obama's seemingly premature win and the committee's vague reasoning for awarding him the honor (they said he promoted "international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples"). Unfortunately, those seeking answers are out of luck: Nobel documents are sealed for 50 years...

Currently on the Swiss stage with the Zurich Ballet Company, the physics concentrator began dancing at the age of 13 in Southern California. She practiced ballet throughout high school and performed with the Harvard Ballet Company on campus. Moore’s partner in many HBC dances has been Kevin...
