 2015 Nobel prize in Physics was awarded for

the discovery of evidence for neutrino oscillations at SNO.

The prize was awarded jointly to  Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B McDonald.

Professor McDonald from Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada was Director of SNO

What has Molly-ki-Ma got to do with Nobel Prize and Breakthrough Prize?

While visiting Halifax NS, Canada in 1977, when Molly-ki-Ma encouraged her first daughter to get married, little did she realize that her future son-in-law will be a founding member of a US$250 million Nobel prize-winning team,.She only wanted her magnetic business associate to move on in life before it is too late to bring forth grandchildren into their expanding business family. The rest of the story is a wild dream come true for both of them. The belief of Molly-ki-Ma in higher education for securing a better future in life, made her to want, encourage, and support her children's higher education at her own expense. That vision led to the legacy of Molly-ki-Ma which is valued the world over in every family which values education, especially the education of female children.

What is Nobel Prize?

"Noble prize has been honouring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and for work in peace." It was the world famous legacy of  Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.

What was Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 awarded for?

"for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass"

Did you know a Trinidadian who won a Nobel Prize in Literature?

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2001 was awarded to V.S. Naipaul of Trinidad "for having united perceptive narrative and incorruptible scrutiny in works that compel us to see the presence of suppressed histories." 

What is Breakthrough Prize?

"Knowledge is humanity's greatest asset. It defines our nature, and it will shape our future ..."

Breakthrough prizes are awarded in Fundamental Physics, Life Sciences and Mathematics

What was 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics awarded for?
