> Would you get a Nobel Prize for "Attempted Chemistry" ? > (you get something for attempted murder !) When Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (for 'splitting" the atom) he commented wryly that he thought that he had been doing Physics at the time. He, of course, would. He noted at one stage that there was Physics and the rest, and that the rest was stamp collecting. (In fact even Physics is stamp collecting , but most people don't realise ;-) ).
