Einstein never received the Nobel for Relativity - only the photoelectric effect (with references to his other "contributions to physics"). This seems to be a grave injustice to many.
Not being much of an expert on all those given out :
Out of curiosity, and to limit the responses to the most significant awards (given or not) -- which are the three best and three worst awards for the sciences (or thereabouts)?
Hubble did not win one for discovering the expansion of the universe since "there was no category for astronomy" (or so I have read), although his work clearly falls within the realm of physics, and defines a great deal of it!
Besides Hubble and Einstein, who else was ignored for truly outstanding work in science?
