Niklas Beisert wins Physics Prize
category: offtopic [glöplog]
Byterapers is one of the academic groups, too, with Dr. Dick and Professor Fate.
Accoding to what I've been able to find, Niklas wasn't awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics. However, he and a fellow researcher at CERN, were awarded "The New Horizons for Physics Prize" which is "awarded to promising junior researchers".

Still an awesome achievement, though :)

Ah - just saw, that only Baah mentioned a Nobel Prize. Sorry ;)
Congratulation to Niklas.
While I am not so into quantum field theory there might still be a Würfel Mode hidden somewhere. ;-)

errr... my mistake, he'll have less scenpoints then.
Plenty of academic cred in the (ex-)scene.. For example, the Department of Information and Computer Science at Aalto University's School of Science sports Cable/Complex and Slayer/Scoopex as professor and docent, respectively.
(I'll make sure to add Dr to my handle once this PhD thing finally gets done, hopefully within a year or so.)

He should get a nobel prize for that starfield
In Norway they pay a phd graduate less than a toilet cleaner. Papers are made for wiping shit.

+1 for Dr. Break
Whisker/Replay has a PhD since a couple of weeks. :-)
then he should go and make a demo about it!
My dog loves Whiskas! :)
in scene poetry?
There is an interview with Niklas Beisert (pascal of cubic team) conducted when he was 19 years old. You can find it in Shine #1 (works fine with DOSBox, just use default configuration with svga_s3).
Congratz Prof Dr Niklas / Pascal !
And I gotta say, if he ever reads this, that Cubic Team/$een demos were among the first I watched, those that hooked me into this scene :), doing' these crazy demonstrations :)

The only thing I have to say: Sceners are legit.
