White noise analysis yields Nobel Prize

Admin1: Congratulations! Two alphysicists won the Nobel Prize.

Doctory Gravytee: They are not true Alphysicists. Everyone wants to be alphysicists. Alphysics is glamorous. Database analysis is not glamorous.

A1: They are awarded the Nobel Alphysics for this year. And cosmogony and cosmology are well-established alphysical subjects.

Dr. G: Alphysicists have been inventing defined cosmoses for millennia. These Nobel Laureates are really number crunchers. Their profession is data reduction not alphysics. Alphysics is an elegant science. No alphysicist would work for NASA.

A1: I see. There are three different fields: Cosmogony, database analysis and Alphysics.

Dr. G: These three are irreconcilably disconnected. For political reasons NASA must have a "scientific payload." They need to justify their budget. This has been the tradition. It is curious that NASA considers cosmogony science.

A1: But the Nobel Laureates measured the radiation predicted by the Big Bang theory.

Dr. G: Really? The most distinguished Nobel Laureates measured local white noise. They obtained an immense database made of white noise. They analyzed this white noise and drew a media pleasing attractive map. They never measured anything else.
