00:00So, I was working in my room this morning when they called me. Total surprise.
00:06Ok.
00:07Yeah.
00:09Is it something that you expected for or not?
00:12Well, I was among the candidates for many years, so it was not unexpected,
00:18but I wasn't thinking about it. I was working on a proposal.
00:23And so, yeah, it's not something I was expecting.
00:28The project I won the prize for is for the development of a new way to do astronomy.
00:40And so, astronomers have found for many decades that they can look at the sky in different colors of light
00:52and even using radio waves and gamma rays. And so, what we have developed is a method to look at
01:04the sky in neutrinos.
01:06So, it's the first time we look at the universe in some other form than light. And, of course, there
01:14are gravitational waves, but that's kind of special.
01:17And so, this project took almost 40 years to develop. And so, we succeeded in discovering neutrinos that reached us
01:33from the cosmos.
01:35And in fact, most of them reached us from outside our own galaxy, which was quite a surprise. And we
01:44discovered them in 2012. And so, I lived long enough to get the Nobel Prize.
01:51So, we finished!
