Silly, silly little man. John Nash won a prize in Economics (for his
Nash Equilibria Points, I believe). There is no such thing as a Nobel
Prize in Economics. Alfred Nobel made no such request in his will.
>From http://nobelprize.org/

"The Nobel Prize is an international award given yearly since 1901 for
achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and for peace."

There is nothing in there about Economics. I'm sorry, but you cannot
win something that does not exist.

Learn the facts, read a book. It is all perfectly well explained in "A
Beautiful Mind," the book. Hmm, Hollywood seemed to skip over that part
in the movie.

Please, learn the facts before you try to post things of which you know
nothing.

I never said he wasn't a mathematical genius. I just said he never won
the Nobel Prize. There simply is no Nobel Prize in mathematics nor in
economics.

I also suffer from mild schizophrenia, thus I wasn't judging you. But I
have seen what happens if it is not treated. That is why I was trying
to help you. But then, I guess this means I am a mental genius but you
have not claimed to actually have schizophrenia. Where does that leave
you?

I am not an atheist. I do believe in a God. I just do not believe
*you* are a god or a creator.

Actually, I can see to an infinite amount of significant figures. In
fact, I was the one who posted computations up 999 significant figures.
Maybe you should seek help. You can't see beyond 999 significant
figures and you obviously have zero years of experience in math.

The above link takes you to a site full of mindless ramblings. You
would be wise not to visit.

Maybe I should start my own journal since no one else will publish by
rubbish. Or maybe if I just produce quality material, respectable
journals will publish it.
