What a great read, excerpted from within the above, https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2022/10/popular-physicsprize2022.pdf

So I once received an honorable mention for showing up. Does that qualify me for sumpin?

 

[Matagi]

Apparently sporting North Sails instead of Quantum.
What a waisted opportunity.

Take it to Physics Anarchy

So maybe he’s the one who can finally explain how a sail produces lift…

Congrats!

Well, he certainly understands the end plate effect...

US Patent for Boom-footed sail efficiency enhancement system Patent (Patent # 4,781,137 issued November 1, 1988) - Justia Patents Search

To prevent crossflow of wind and increase aerodynamic efficiency of boom-footed sail, a stationary sealing vertical baffle structure is mounted along the centerline of a sailboat under the boom. The top portion of the baffle is made of a compliant sealing material, e.g., closed cell polyurethane...

Damn, another year I'm passed over...

I suspect he'll be able to afford an inventory upgrade after this.

Bravo Zulu Dr Clauser. Thank you for further helping us understand our universe, one entangled particle pair at a time.

I heard that the 1D48 was purchased using his 2010 Wolf Prize award. I sailed on that boat's shakeout sail and raced against her predecessor, the Farr 40 Bodacious.

 

[solosailor]

Nice guy and constant competitor..... congrats John.

 

[Chris in Santa Cruz CA]

Cool! I think I remember him wearing a rock climbing helmet or something like it on his old boat way back when. I had no idea he was still sailing and also no idea he was a fat brain 😀

 

[Devoforedeckus]

He is also the guy who invented the "Geek" keel for St. Francis's 12 meter

 

[Peter Cullum]

Congratulations to John Clauser. I enjoyed racing against him and his Farr One Tonner Bodacious in the 2002 Pacific Cup when I owned the One Tonner Coyote. Well done mate!

Well he's got that going for him.
He's sure the hell not going to win anything for that mark rounding

 

[Wavedancer II]

Well, he was ahead of the other boat...

 

[Puget Sound ballast]

Sure a Nobel Prize is nice, but has he ever won a duck on Duck Dodge?

 

[jesposito]

Well, he was ahead of the other boat...

Very true

nobody's perfect.

It is also interesting to note John Clauser's passion for sailing, which reminds us that scientists are not just researchers but also individuals with diverse interests and hobbies. This award is a well-deserved recognition of their significant contributions to physics and a source of inspiration for future generations of physicists. The work of Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger has paved the way for numerous developments in quantum communication, cryptography, and computation, which have the potential to revolutionize information technology. They also inspired me to develop this website https://plainmath.net/ which I hope will help the young generation to know more about physics and math. Their achievements highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research and collaboration in advancing our understanding of the physical world.

It is truly exciting to see Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger being jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 for their groundbreaking work on entangled photons and their contributions to quantum information science. Their experiments with entangled photons and the violation of Bell inequalities have opened up new avenues for understanding the fundamental nature of quantum mechanics and its potential applications in information processing. And it's also very nice that they have hobbies like all other people and they have time to be happy.

Wow... I knew that John was smart, but...wow...
Awesome to learn this!
