Re: open it up to the public?
I always wondered why the fish that I ate as a trawlerman tasted 'mustardy',I thought that it was 'North Sea Sauce'.
Seriously, it is wrong that Jocelyn BELL was not accorded equal recognition for the discovery.
However, as she would probably acknowledge,even though I suspect that it affected her emotionally,the 'reward' is in the discovery itself.
Likewise the recent gravitational wave discovery involving two black holes,it's the 'discovery' not the 'reward's' that really matter.
The Nobel Peace prize system has been corrupted by politicians of late & has become tainted.
