James Altichur, everyone, and Brian Keating.

And Brian Keating.

Former, almost Nobel Prize winner, Brian Keating.

Right now, is there a chance you could win the Nobel Prize in the future?

Like what are the chances? Actually, you know what's funny?

That you're nominated for the Nobel Prize this year.

Yeah, so I actually came into my office the other day and if you're watching on YouTube you'll see something that's strictly

confidential I got an invitation James to nominate the winners of the noble

prize for physics in 2022. Who should we nominate?

Let's figure it out right now.

That would be great.

Except, as you know from reading my book and blurbing my book

and writing the forward to my book with Nobel Laureate,

your co-loriate, Barry Parish, you have to have your

nominations in by January 31st, and this just showed up on February 15th.

So what you're saying is basically, is it a scam scam like they already picked it or they just deliberately kind of invited you without inviting you?

I think they were the thing was malicious intent. I think it could have been a slight although in in my book, you know, I talk, my first book losing the Nobel Prize,

I talk about how when I actually got a hold of a Nobel Prize,

when a Nobel Prize winner came to UCSD to give a lecture, Duncan Haldane, he brought his Nobel Prize with him.

And in the book I'm pictured, I'm holding it, and I say the author with the last Nobel Prize

he'll ever hold and the last nomination he'll ever do. So maybe it's a way for them to have, you know, kind of plausible deniability that, oh no, we're not mad at Keating and we're...

We invited him. He could have picked his own own he had a choice. He didn't right he didn't pick as somebody.
