The governments of India and Pakistan were awarded a humorous prize for the fact that diplomats from the countries constantly secretly rang each other's doorbells at night, then ran away before anyone could open the door.
as relations between India and Pakistan deteriorated, both countries engaged in targeted harassment of high-ranking diplomats from opposing sides. Officials were cut off from electricity and water, threatened, made sweden number data obscene phone calls, and, indeed, had their doors rung in the early hours of the morning, then fled.
Physics
Australian scientists of Ukrainian origin Ivan Maksimov and Andriy Pototsky received the prize for determining during an experiment what happens to a living earthworm when it vibrates at high frequency.
Faraday waves, or Faraday ripples, are standing waves on the surface of a liquid that appear when a container (such as a pool of water) is vibrated at a resonant frequency. Such waves can create a variety of patterns. In an experiment with live earthworms that were subjected to vibrations, scientists recorded a critical transition to Faraday waves inside the worms.
The authors claim that the results “can be used to develop new methods for studying and controlling biophysical processes inside the living body.”
