It’s too soon to declare supersymmetry a tragedy
Supersymmetry is the odds-on favorite to solve many of the mysteries about the physical world that have stumped theorists for decades. Supposedly the LHC should produce actual evidence for SUSY, but it hasn’t. And so some physicists have begun to declare SUSY dead, or at least on life-support.

Top 10 physicists with no Nobel
While a lot of people are busy predicting who will win Nobel Prizes this week, it would be easier to predict who won’t get the physics prize because they’re dead and therefore no longer eligible. Plus there are those who deserve it and are still alive but probably won’t get it because the Nobel guys don’t seem to like theorists very much.
