Fall is arriving, and that means early October isn't too far away. And with early October comes the awarding of the Nobel Prizes. The dates were announced back in June. The schedule is:

Monday Oct 6: Physiology or Medicine
Tuesday Oct 7: Physics
Wednesday Oct 8: Chemistry
Friday Oct 10: Peace
Monday Oct 13: Economics
TBD: Literature

The Physics prize is probably the one of most interest to this crowd. Any thoughts on deserving winners? Dark matter searches? Maybe the designers of the LHC.
