      It would be for forecasting natural disasters using satellite data.

      Peace!! I am a pacifist and a anti-war activist and I would love to win the Noble Peace Prize for finding a way to stop wars. I think if we spread humans to other planets and produce the resources we need, we won’t have an excuse for fighting any more.

      I would want to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. With a discovery in the area of physical information. This is a physical phenomena, where a “wave function collapse or black holes, that completely destroy information about their prior states”!!!!!!!!! 🙂

      Peace, a huge part of my work actually involves getting people who dont understand each other to begin understanding each other. It’s probably what I actually find easiest to do.

      For a knock-knock joke: a no-bell prize! get it ??? ehhh?? okay I’ll stop 😀
      Seriously though, I would like to win a Nobel prize in physics in the field of quantum computing.
      Fully functioning quantum computers don’t exist yet but many scientists and engineers around the world are working hard to make one.
      The computational power of a working quantum computer might lead to the discovery of new materials by making it possible to simulate the behaviour of matter at the atomic level.
