There was also a Greek nomination for the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics
The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded today, October 6, to the British Roger Penrose, the German Reinhard Genzel and the American Andrea Ghez.
To date, 113 Nobel Prizes in Physics have been awarded, starting in 1901. Only has not been awarded a Physics Prize for six years, mainly due to the two world wars of the last century. Of the 113 Nobel prizes so far, 47 have been awarded to one scientist, 32 have been awarded to two Nobel prizes, and the remaining 34 have been awarded to three at the same time. In all, 212 scientists have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, one of whom, John Bardin, is the only one to have won it twice, in 1956 and 1972. The youngest Nobel Prize winner was 25 years old. Lawrence Bragg who took it in 1915 with his father, while the oldest of 96, ‘Arthur’ Askin, in 2018.

THE Dimitris Psaltis is a professor of astronomy and physics at University of Arizona, with his research focused on testing the theory of relativity on a cosmic scale. She also works on various aspects of the physics and astrophysics of neutron stars and black holes.
