I don't understand.
Hopfield and Hinton aren't physicists, and their work wasn't a breakthrough in physics.
Hopfield is in molecular biology and Hinton is in computer science, and their breakthrough was in computing / engineering.
How are they getting a *physics* #Nobel?
Physicists doing actual physics shouldn't be overlooked because the committee wanted to give an AI prize and Nobel prizes don't come in "engineering".
