The science has died as occupation for “making” of great discoveries...

The next Nobel week (on October 8 – “Physiology and medicine”, on October 9 – “Physics”, on October 10 – “Chemistry”) approaches and we are expected by the next Nobel paradise when the achievements of a science become if not the main, but quite appreciable news of world mass media. The world receives an annual portion of conversations about advantage and importance of science, about what paradise pleasures or infernal torments promise us the scientists. It is not absolutely clearly why these conversations are necessary to the general public whose knowledge goes beyond the limits of the multiplication table. But it is clear, why they are necessary to people of a modern science. After all it turned into professorial business long ago in which the Nobel Prize serves as some kind of gold share in the market cost of this or that professor.

It is time for long ago to talk about in what this rather prestigious award turned. And it turned into the real jackpot. The reason for that is quite obvious: the harmonious building of modern physics (we won't speak about other sciences like biology and economy as only the physics is the unique exact science about natural phenomena) the base of which is the classical and quantum mechanics, is constructed for a long time. Here the physics represents the post-modernist game in classical and quantum mechanics not a dozen years.

In the world of postmodernism, what all modern world is, everyone can win. Therefore, the victory of postmodernism is a victory of democracy in a sense the. Happened in a modern science when the number of people grew in precisely the same way in the last decades, as density of elements of big integrated schemes, that is according to the notorious law of Moore which has been thought up almost for fun but which all big and small scientists like to quote with any pathological constancy, anxious with the world tendencies. As a result the number of “scientists” passed the critical size long ago when the community of identity undergoes the phase transition and turns into crowd. And where is the crowd, there is a lottery.

Also this is the life of a modern science for there are no and can’t be any discoveries capable not only destroy, but even to shake a harmonious building of physics on which all modern sciences keep, the main tools of which, by the way, are the devices developed by physicists and engineers. And now any interesting and even the deep and uncommon results testifying to firmness of classical and quantum mechanics, are capable to get any guy or lady sitting at any device, who understands nothing in his work, especially in physics, but accurately telling about all the supervision to the professor who doesn’t already measure something for not a dozen years. And what only such intellectual pair will observe. And there are hundred thousand of such pairs in the world of a modern science with the respective ocean of “garbage” and the sea of quite decent results.

Here now guess what result from this the sea is worthy of the Nobel Prize. By the way, such pairs are almost impossible in theoretical physics. But, notice, the last award for achievements in the field of theoretical physics is given for results of 40-year prescription. It is the significant fact which is brightly testifying the death of a science as occupation for "making" of great discoveries. Therefore for the time to time the Nobel committee found a way out, appropriating the awards for the discovery of the last century which have not been noted by it at the time of “storm and impact”. And as there were a lot of them, the quiet and peaceful life of the Nobel committee could proceed further.

But here the part of the people of the world grumbled applying for intellectual pastime and journalistic brotherhood encouraged by them: how is it possible to feed us with old discoveries in a century of mobile communication and Internet? We want something new and fresh. And the Nobel committee was rushed about. No, it didn't leave the old traditions finally, but as a lady whom the Nobel committee now appears, doesn't thirst to be beautiful and young, rich and modern. And the Nobel lady at first rushed to encourage the inventions which have brought million incomes.

Let's remember the award of 2009 for the invention of the device of the charging shift working at effect of almost centenary prescription. Or the award of 2007 for effect of the huge magnet resistance actually awarded only that it appeared suddenly useful in manufacturing of magnetic sensors. So, the Nobel committee could reach quite before to note the award each emergence of new iPhone.

Here there was a saving phenomenon of graphene. His physics, not to say that it is not interesting, but also to speak about any deep breaks in studying of the condensed environments, not to mention a universe, won't come to mind even to ardent admirers of this material. But, fortunately or unfortunately, it appeared one of carbon modification. And each housewife knows what is the soot. And each pupil knows of what the slate pencil of its pencil consists. Generally, all components for emergence of collective madness and creation of illusion of great opening appeared gathered.

Voices of the opponents saying that any new, deep, beyond even physics of the condensed condition of results at research of a decanter weren't received, rolled in many-voiced chorus both academic and also of not academic public: “graphene, graphene electronics, graphene future...” And the award of 2010 was handed over for graphene. That confirmed that fact now that the Nobel Prize is the public relations first of all and brands with the corresponding jackpot result. And the simpler and more primitive brands, the better success.

And it is no wonder. After all the modern scientific community is total public relation with a brand mentality and with corresponding primitive reactions of crowd. And nothing more. Now it has on turn “Higgs boson”, “dark matter”, “topological insulators” and “marjoram fermions”. Who is more?
