John Archibald Wheeler the Noble Titan ("No question? -No answer!")
Abstract
John Archibald Wheeler as a wide-awake leader in the world science helped at the start of the Alpha President’s international career with some letters and personal discussions about general relativity, cosmology, black holes, and quantum mechanics etc. John Wheeler encouraged and managed him continuously.
Alpha President nominated him many times for a Nobel Prize, but unfortunately he never received this laureate what is a dishonor of the entire science and Nobel Prizes.
It is the Alpha’s distinct privilege to recognize and commemorate the ultimate physicist who coined the such creative terms as “S-matrix”, “quantum foam”, “wave function of the universe” (Wheeler – DeWitt equation), ”black hole” and “wormhole” or “it from bit”, etc. Nonetheless in the Alpha’s opinion, Wheeler’s most important instruction is that “No question? –No answer!”
Inspired by his life story and intentionally paradoxical terms, the Alpha professes: “Noble without Nobel”.
