Assignment 5- I don't care- Chuck Logsdon

I do not care about the Nobel prize winner. This is not something I am ashamed of I just simply do not find it interesting. People can pretend they believe the Nobel prize is so much more important than the entertainment awards shows but I can confidently be in the majority of people in saying I do not care at all. Upon a cursory google search I found that the Nobel physics prize went to three people who did some space thing. Cool, I don't care. I'm sure that accomplishment was important, but I like to watch TV and movies I would rather not learn about and "exoplanet orbiting a solar type star" because that is boring. The assumption that this should hold more weight than entertainment awards show downplays the importance of art in society. Winners of these entertainment awards made very good art. People enjoy consuming art. I'm sure James Peebles wrote a really good thesis about something important to physics. People do not enjoy reading essays about physics.
