the royal Swedish academy of sciences has selected the Nobel prize in physics this year as winners of the universe and our solar system outside the planets scientists.
the winner of the trio thanks to the work has survived in the fundamental things of the universe structure and history as well as earth’s place in the universe, the Nobel jury said the prize in the explanatory statement.
the winners are on the one hand, James Peebles and on the other hand together with the Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz.
a Canadian-american Peebles rewarded with the cosmos theoretical research, the swiss Mayor and Queloz Sun-like stars orbiting exoplanets finding.
Peebles created in the 1960s began to use, for more than two decades lasting work, a theoretical framework for the current understanding of the universe from the big bang to this day.
Understanding the origins of the universe was at that time theoretical speculation on observations and measurements based on science, and James Peebles was the key person, whose work inspired a whole new research knee this topic, the panel’s reasoning was praised.
Mayer, and Quelozin discovery revolutionized the planet of search
Mayor and Queloz witnesses over two decades ago, that also outside our solar system has planets orbiting their own stars. Today, those exoplanet known as the more than four thousand.
In 1995, Mayor and Queloz presented to astonished party astronomy assembly 51 Pegasi b, planet, gas giant, whose orbit was close to the hot emotähti to. The observation was completely contrary to how our solar system the largest gas ball Jupiter behaves.
Exoplanets hunters had been looking in the wrong place. When it became clear, following the exoplanet was located for a couple of months. Mayor and Quelozin pioneering work started in astronomy a revolution, the Nobel jury amount.
All the awards criteria are available on the Nobel foundation web page (go to another service) Swedish and English.

Grabs another five Nobel prize
the Nobel week started Monday cell research which granted the medical award. The winners are the usa Gregg Semenza and William Kaelin, as well as british Peter Ratcliffe, who have studied how cells detect available the vital amount of oxygen and react to it.
on Wednesday it is the turn of chemistry and Thursday literature. The week culminated on Friday in Oslo, the disclosure of a peace prize. Next Monday, set to complement even the economics prize.
the literary prizes awarded this year two, because last year the prize was postponed to the Swedish academy in the unfolding of the scandal.
the Awards are worth nine million Swedish crowns, i.e. over eur 830 000. The money came from a foundation from whom the dynamite invented by the rich to the chemist-engineer Alfred Nobel established in his will.
