President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to say some credit score for the Nobel Prize in physics for work executed a long time earlier than he even turned president.
The president shared a quote on Fact Social that he stated was from Vitality Secretary Chris Wright ― a former fracking exec ― saying the award this 12 months given for work in quantum physics is, by extension, an award for Trump.
“Quantum computing, together with AI and Fusion, are the three signature Trump science efforts,” the quote attributed to Wright learn. “Trump 47 racks up his first Nobel Prize!!”
This 12 months’s prize went to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab), for “the invention of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and power quantisation in an electrical circuit,” based on a information launch from the Nobel Basis.
Trump has made no secret of his need to win a Nobel, though the one he fixates on most is the Nobel Peace Prize. He has complained for years about not getting one, insisting he ought to have “4 or 5” of them, and appears particularly bitter that President Barack Obama has one.
