The Peace Prize and the science prizes are awarded by totally different committees. The science prizes are held in deservedly high esteem.

True, AK. The physics & chemistry are awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the medicine (physiology) by the (Swedish) Karolinska Institutet, and the Literature prize by the Swedish Academy.
The Peace Price is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
The science prizes this year have all gone to Americans, perhaps a first? The winner of the prize in medicine is the son of the 1959 winner in that category.

Muslims ever get ANY kind of Nobel Prizes? For idiocy maybe?
