After physiology, the Nobel Prize in Physics has been announced. This award for physics or Medicine reminded me once again of caring for the environment.

| Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 |
In 2021, three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics - Sukuro Manabe of Japanese descent, Klaus Hasselmann of Germany and Giorgio Perisi of Italy. All of them work with 'physical complex systems'.
The main feature of any complex system is its random behavior, its chaos. Understanding these, it is more difficult to guess something based on it! But this time these three scientists have done this complex work. This time the Nobel Committee recognized their complex work.
The climate of the world is very important to mankind. Scientist Sukuro Manabe's research has shown that when the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the surface temperature rises. In 1960, a group of scientists led by Manab developed the first physical model of the world's climate. In addition, he was the first to work on the balance of radioactivity and the vertical interaction of air masses. All the current models of climate have been developed based on his work.
About ten years later, Klaus Hesselman developed a model for the relationship between weather and climate. His research answered an important question. The weather is one of change and chaos. However, his research shows that the climate model developed by scientists is reliable enough. He also discovered ways to distinguish between natural and artificial phenomena. It is possible to understand by looking at certain types of signals. Clearly, a disaster or a forest fire is natural or artificial. Using his method, it became clear that humans were responsible for increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Giorgio Parisi discovered the hidden pattern in the chaotic complex in 1960. Not only in physics, his work is also used in various fields like mathematics, biology, neuroscience and machine learning. His contributions in fields ranging from quantum chromodynamics to condensed matter physics, dynamic systems, etc. are unforgettable.
