While attending 6oth meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany, I got an opportunity to attend panel discussions in which Laureates shared their views on scientific matters. During these panel discussions, heat was generated amongst Laureates on some scientific topics. A remarkable dispute erupted when one Laureate speculated invention of a computer in near future that can think like humans. This Laureate was bombarded by, let me call pessimistic, objections by other panel members and audience.
I concluded that when it comes to science they're nobel not noble! Let the Laureates fight in the battle of ideas for they've received their Nobel Prize for science, not for peace.
