Japanese scientists win Physics Nobel 2008

Two Japanese scientists and a Tokyo-born American shared the 2008 Nobel Prize for physics for discoveries in sub-atomic particles.The Nobel committee lauded Yoichiro Nambu, a Tokyo-born American citizen, and Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa of Japan for separate work that helped explain why the universe is made up mostly of matter and not anti-matter via processes known as broken symmetries. It helps underlie the Standard Model of physics, which unites three of the four fundamental forces of nature: strong, weak and electromagnetic, leaving out gravity. Physicists are now searching for the spontaneous broken symmetry, the Higgs mechanism, at the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research or CERN in Switzerland. They helped figure out the existence and behavior of the very tiniest particles known as quarks. Nambu shared half of the prestigious 10 million Swedish crown ($1.4 million) prize with Kobayashi of Japan's High Energy Accelerator Research Organization and Maskawa of Kyoto University.

korea was china's subject country for many years. korean always copied Every chinese cluture.even their names!

What have we learn class? Japanese style education works. Now all that needs to be fixed is the constant pressure on children to succeed in Japan and it would be just about perfect. I wish the US would adopt some of the educational practices equally throughout, then we could prove once and for all the the Bell Curves 13th chapter is complete nonsense.

nambu was korean japanese and his korean name is "nam". but he was abused by japanese people. so he had gone to america. he is not only tokyo born american but also korean. i'm proud of him :)

it's called capitalism, we'll have to get used to it. It's the same in here...

trafficker615 i don't think so, what hope then if japanese youth is so. I think you are a very high level in education, believe me comparing their educative system with for example Latinamerica or even USA you are in better situation. Teenagers are teenagers around the world.

o rearry?

[auburn220]

trafficker615, Not all young japanese are stupid, lazy or ignorant... do you know each one personally?? didn't think so!

Why don't you educate yourself instead of generalising people!!

[roygbiv330]

the reporter talked too fast. in his speech some syllables were so much combined that i could not tell each word. "...maskawa japan for separate work that helped explain why the universe...". how could english-speaking-world people tell each?

SEGUNDA PROPUESTA PARA EL GRUPO G7 y LA COMUNIDAD MUNDIAL:

HONESTIDAD: Ningún Banco o sus accionistas tendrán la posibilidad de comprar los bienes de sus prestamistas en caso de incumplimiento de pago y solo podrán ser vendidos o rematados a la comunidad que no sea cliente del propio banco. En caso de incumplir esta disposición, el prestamista será exonerado de su deuda y el Banco pagará una multa de 10 veces el capital adeudado, dinero que pasará al Servicio de Rentas Internas.

I totally agree with forrowing comment.

Yeah, but Japanese students have a very high suicide rate. I think there's definitely a middle ground between Japanese and American systems. America does not care much about education, this is true, not as much as Asian countries.
