To my mind, the most important aspect of the Nobel Awards is that they bring home to the masses of the peoples of all nations, a realization of their common interests. They carry to those who have no direct contact with science the international spirit.
Once you have somebody that is telling you, ‘We are interpreting God for you,’ it seems like you either agree or you don’t.
