Season's Greetings
Holidays, 2022
Tikalon is on a
Christmas/
New Year's Day holiday. The next article will appear on Monday, January 2, 2023.
We
gift you with five
Nobel Physics Laureates under the
Christmas tree. There are presently a total of 221 individuals who have been awarded this prize;[1] so, if your favorite is not under the tree, the
odds were against you from the start.
