I posted this great Canadian achievment 2 days ago and it seems no one gives a damn. Nevertheless I will show an interest in my own post and just say he should not have gotten it simply because it is based on trying to improve our understanding of the nature of allegedly missing matter in the universe. It's based on the big bang a theory so riddled with holes by now it's a wonder it still floats, but float it does. This work of the good doctors is entirely useless because it is completely wrong.

Cosmic Gall

by John Updike

Neutrinos, they are very small.
They have no charge and have no mass
And do not interact at all.
The earth is just a silly ball
To them, through which they simply pass,
Like dustmaids down a drafty hall
Or photons through a sheet of glass.
They snub the most exquisite gas,
Ignore the most substantial wall,
Cold-shoulder steel and sounding brass,
Insult the stallion in his stall,
And, scorning barriers of class,
Infiltrate you and me! Like tall
And painless guillotines, they fall
Down through our heads into the grass.
At night, they enter at Nepal
And pierce the lover and his lass
From underneath the bed—you call
It wonderful; I call it crass.​

Neutrinos have mass, yadda, yada, yadda.

Yes basically that was it and it was worth half a million bucks even though it does nothing to make better toasters or tea kettles.

Apparently they also make up the alleged missing mass in the onionverse.

These science twats will do and say any insane thing at all to save the memory and shoddy work of Saint Albert inventor of big bang nonsence
