It is true that up until now only individuals have been awarded the Nobel prize, but I attended a lecture in Uppsala, Sweden with representatives from the Nobel committee saying, basically, that it was only convention and that it could be awarded to groups. I cannot find a source for either of the positions, so maybe changing it to something clearer or removing it would be best. Augustwollter ( talk) 15:24, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
In the article, it is stated that "World War I was the first war in which science played a major role in warfare and armaments." This is obviously untrue and kind of silly. If it were up to me, I'd change it. What do you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.138.20.51 ( talk) 07:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I would point out that the scientific method has only been around in its modern form for a few hundered years. So perhaps it would be better to say something like "WWI was the first war to take full, government sponsored advantage of big science." keep in mind that this article is about big science, not about og the caveman realizing that fire hurts.

"''Big science'' is a term coined by Alvin Weinberg in the 1960's when he was the director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. Big science involves the collaboration of large numbers of scientists, Government officials, university faculty members and administrators and industrial contractors, and large sums of money, to produce new instruments to advance our understanding of nature. Examples of big science include the space sciences, particle accelerators, oceanographic vessels, research in fusion energy and the project to map the human genome. It is apparent that, the more deeply we look into nature, the more big science we are going to need." Big Science in the Sky, Leon M. Lederman, New York Times, April 8, 1990.
