Nobel Prize in Physics

The article's biographical note states Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichiro Tomonaga, for work on quantum electrodynamics.

Adjudication: Feynman's Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 1965 (jointly with Schwinger and Tomonaga), an independently verifiable historical fact matching the article's own biographical note in row 0. Row 1 reflects Neville misremembering the year in an off-the-cuff 1968 lecture aside, which conflicts with external record and with the same article's own footnote - it should be kept as a refuted claim illustrating Neville's occasional factual slips, not as a live contender.

    Source Justified States ¶12passage 526722 (lecture nid 59, 'Justified States', delivered 1972-04-03): 'Twenty years later, only last year, they granted him the Nobel Prize in physics for that paper... back in 1949'
    Why Internally the passage is also inconsistent with itself ('only last year' relative to a 1972 delivery implies 1971, not 1969); not resolving which of Neville's own numbers he meant - both disagree with the certain external date, 1965.
    Reasoning Feynman's Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 1965 (jointly with Schwinger and Tomonaga), an independently verifiable historical fact already established as certain on sibling hist_event:9343 under Rudi's 2026-07-23 ruling, which treats a comparable Neville misremembering (a different lecture's 1967) the same way - kept as a refuted claim illustrating the slip, not a live contender. This passage's '1949 plus twenty years' arithmetic is the likely source of this event's bare '1969' title.

    Source Nid 2191's current live preferred delivery claim is 1968-09-09 certain; conflicting refuted 1966 estimates remain visible.
    Reasoning The event mention occurs in passage 555255 of nid 2191. The told claim follows the node's current certain/preferred delivery claim without using that contested date to infer when the prize itself was awarded.
