Where did all the geniuses go?  Can you name a physics Nobel laureate from the past 30 years.  Well, I knew Roger Penrose and Kip Thorne, but no more.  Even so, much of the physics that earned Nobel prizes seem to be refinements or new confirmations of previous theory done decades earlier.  Yes, Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton are truly geniuses, and you can see this once you study their work. But we do seem to be in a bit of a lull right now.
