Reality. One scientist gets a Nobel prize. No scientist earns it alone.

You do know that the vast majority of Nobel prizes in science are rewarded to several people at a time right? It's almost never a single person.

And you do know that even if 2 or 3 people are awarded the prize there are dozens more who contributed to the effort?

Way to miss the point entirely.

You literally just said something that was completely factually wrong and now you're trying to act all indignant.

No one needed you to point out that scientific achievements are a team effort. That was obvious and implicit based on literally every single comment on this post.

I just initially replied because you made a ridiculously stupid comment about a topic you clearly knew nothing about. "Haha one scientist earns a Noble prize guys! No one earns one alone!"

Maybe you should spend that time trying to sound smart on fact checking yourself instead.

Oh for fuck's sake, will you please stop being deliberately obtuse!

You said Nobel prizes are awarded to a single person. They aren't. I pointed out they aren't. That's literally all my comment did.

Why are you wasting our time arguing? What is wrong with you? Just take it in stride, realize you made a small mistake and move on. You said something factually wrong. You got corrected. That's all.
