Saul Perlmutter, Adam Riess, Brian Schmidt

    We see, left to right, Saul Perlmutter (1959--), Adam Riess (1969--), and Brian Schmidt (1967--) receiving, NOT the Nobel Prize, but another prize for discovering the accelerating universe. They were, of course, leading members of large groups of people who worked on the discovery: Saul Perlmutter is/was with Supernova Cosmology Project; Adam Riess and Brian Schmidt are/were with High-Z Supernova Search Team.

    The trio did eventually get the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. See the videos below.

      2. Physics Nobel Prize 2011 - Brian Schmidt | 7:12: Brian Schmidt (1967--) on the accelerating universe. Too long for the classroom.
      3. Hopkins Professor Earns Nobel Prize In Physics | 2:14: Adam Riess (1969--) in the news for his prize. Too long for the classroom.
