Question: I would like to ask you if you reckon that you will win a Nobel prize? And if you do would you start a website or invent something completly new again?

I don’t think I will ever win a Nobel Prize. Very very few scientists win one – it means that your research has been very very important and has changed the world. People usually win one late in their lives too, because it sometimes takes a long time before people realise how important a discovery is.

Whether or not I win a Nobel Prize, though, I think I will continue to try and learn about new things throughout my life. There’s always something else interesting to learn about!
