A Nobel Life

kann im Hilton ein Baku-Besucher, der Wert auf Folgende Kleinigkeiten legt:
"Dieses Hotel am Meer liegt 8 Gehminuten von der Altstadt von Baku entfernt und bietet eine drehbare Bar auf dem Dach, einen Pool und ein Fitnessstudio. Freuen Sie sich auf Zimmer mit einer fantastischen Aussicht über Baku und das Kaspische Meer..."
Abgesehen davon, dass die Preise für unsere Verhältnisse zwar nicht billig, aber durchaus erschwinglich wären, würde ich das Etablissement nicht empfehlen.
Warum?
Weil hier der nahezu einzige Ort in der schönen Stadt am Kaspischen Meer war, wo mir das Fotografieren schon vor der Eingangstür untersagt wurde ;-)

The Nobel Prizes were established by Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist, inventor (of dynamite), and businessman, who left the bulk of his fortune in his will to create the awards for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace, first awarded in 1901.
Who he was: A wealthy inventor who held 355 patents, most famously for dynamite, and was also a writer and scientist.
His motivation: He wanted to recognize those who conferred the "greatest benefit to humankind".
The will: He signed his will in 1895, and the first prizes were awarded five years after his death in 1896, fulfilling his vision.

To him, all problems have the shape of a nail and since he's got the big hammer, he thinks, he's the ideal guy to get peace deals. "Gimme de peace price - or else! Losers and low life forms anyway", he shouts. "Who do you think you are? I'll take you to court and have you for breakfast!", the over-aged toddler crows. "Don't mention Obama," says mum, "give him the Nobel Price and let him play in his corner." And the toddler smiles in his corner and hammers the peace to pieces. Leica M8, Elmar 4/135, at F16.

Der Breidenbacher Hof in Düsseldorf liegt zwischen der Königsallee und der Heinrich-Heine-Allee mit dem Hoteleingang auf der Theodor-Körner-Straße und grenzt direkt an die Altstadt. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich die Deutsche Oper am Rhein, das Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus sowie die Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalens K 20.
Eine Übernachtung kostete Ende 2023 durchschnittlich 500 Euro, das günstigste Zimmer 350 Euro. Die Zimmergröße reichte von 41 qm bis zu Suiten von über 400 qm, die in der Spitze 14.000 Euro pro Nacht kosteten. Ab dem Sommer 2024 ist ein kompletter Umbau mit einer durchgreifenden Modernisierung des Interieurs vorgesehen, weg von Gold, Leder und Mahagoni.
A seemingly important discussion is taking place in the heart of Stortorget (the Grand Square), a historic public square located in Gamla Stan, the old town at the center of Stockholm, Sweden. Stortorget is home to the Stock Exchange Building (Börshuset), which houses the Swedish Academy, the Nobel Museum, and the Nobel Library.
Could they be talking about the next Nobel Prize laureates?
Solche feinen Details sieht man heute nicht mehr an den Autos.

A thank you for perseverance and the pursuit of peace, regardless of the circumstances.
Under a cold wind and with just enough time for work, my flag waves proudly from my exile in a land I love so much.

Un agradecimiento a la constancia y búsqueda de la paz sin importar las circunstancias.
Bajo un viento frío y con el tiempo justo para el trabajo ondea con fuerza mi bandera desde mi exilio en una tierra que quiero tanto.

Good morning, Herr Doktor, how are you?
My boy! isn't it marvelous? I've won the greatest prize of all!
You mean a Nobel prize?
Better! I've won the far rarer and more prestigious Ig Nobel prize!
Ig Nobel? Great! I guess. What did you win for?
For my revolutionary demonstration that the problem of illegally parked luxury cars can be solved by running them over with an armored tank!
Yeah, I remember that experiment. it was so. . . groundbreaking. Caused a bit of a stir in the neighborhood too.
Indeed!
I preferred your experiment for advising colonoscopy doctors how to minimize the chance that their patients will suddenly explode. That was. . . illuminating.
Yes, if somewhat messy. But never mind that! we must celebrate!
Sure! With champagne?
Actually, I thought we'd sweep up in the lab a bit.
You think it needs it?
Maybe a little.

Il Centro Nobel per la pace è un museo che si trova a Oslo in Norvegia, presso la piazza del municipio Rådhusplassen
Storia
È stato aperto nel 2005 dal Re Harald V di Norvegia con una cerimonia alla quale hanno partecipato le famiglie reali di Norvegia. Era presente anche il premio Nobel per la pace Wangari Maathai. L'edificio accoglie circa 250 000 visitatori all'anno ed è uno dei luoghi più visitati della Norvegia. Il palazzo in passato ospitava l'ex Oslo Vestbanestasjon (stazione ferroviaria di Oslo Ovest). Risalente al 1872, l'ex edificio della stazione è stato progettato dall'architetto Georg Andreas Bull. È stato utilizzato come stazione ferroviaria fino al 1989. Si affaccia sul porto e si trova vicino al municipio di Oslo.
L'architetto David Adjaye è stato responsabile del rifacimento esterno dell'edificio.[4][5] Il Centro Nobel per la pace è finanziato dal Ministero della Cultura norvegese.
Al suo interno ci sono mostre ed esposizioni dedicate ai vincitori del Premio Nobel per la pace, oltre a sezioni dedicate alla storia di Alfred Nobel e degli altri premi Nobel.

Frågade min dotter vad hon tänkte på när jag sa Nobel. Fred,svarade hon.
Tänk bild, sa jag.
Duva, sa hon.
Har ingen, sa jag.
Men en fjäder då, sa hon.
Vår gemensamma tolkning blev så här. Jag tänker också fred och Nobel i samma mening.

The 2017 Nobel Prize in physics went to the discovery of gravity waves. The existence of gravity waves was predicted by Albert Einstein, and it was confirmed by the two Light Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatories (LIGO) in Richland, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana. The Washington observatory is 15 minutes from our home. In the picture is a 2.5 mile tube, about a meter in diameter, and evacuated to an incredible vacuum. A laser beam fired down this and fired down a companion tube measure changes in the distance to mirrors at the ends of the tubes, changes of 1/1,000 the diameter of a proton. The changes in distance occur when gravity waves warp the space between the beam generator and the mirrors.
