  1. Anyone who has abused you can create a chain reaction of nanotechnology that creates as many little people as possible stuck inside atoms with mini ovens for billions of years

  2. I want to believe that the prize would have been awarded to Prof. Chachanover for his achievements, even if he had not won the Nobel Prize.
    And what about Per Hershko, Chechenover's partner in the Nobel Prize?
    He probably already won a degree from Haifa University in the past.
