Talk:Josephson effect

There isn't a single word about practical uses or its generic significance to further advancing physics. I mean Nobel prizes are awarded for achievements beneficial to the mankind, abstract beauty is not enough.

Maybe his psychic quantum theory powers affected the judges enough to nominate him?

There is nothing about what all this means! I mean, it explains the technical parts, gives the proof, shows the equation which is all well and good, but I came beause I heard it was being used in ultra-fast chip portotypes, and the page gives me nada. -- Maru Dubshinki

I think the writer could only benefit from understanding the physical principles behind the Josephson effect, before engaging in the trivia of applications, which sadly risk becoming nothing but a mindless tabulation of data, without the deeper understanding, which lately seems to have become a dirty word. Certainly the applications are humanly and economically very important, but please spare us from having the applications promoted and discussed by fast Eddy, and other busybodies who are too eager to talk about some reality using a few memorized buzzwords, but are incapable of doing anything useful with that reality.
