Penzias and Wilson can trace their Nobel Prize back to cleaning pigeon poop out of a microwave antenna feed horn.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

1. Find out ways to solve important world issues
2. Use various methods to formulate and fix the issues
3. Write a paper on how to fix said issues
4. Get your noble prize

This year it's apparently between Trump, Merkel, and the Pope. Seriously, I don't follow this stuff anymore.

Maybe we need something akin to an 'anti' Noble prize too. Do something spectacularly annoying enough to really set humanity back significantly and get an 'Anti-NP'.
Might even want too issue some retroactive ones:
*whoever first decided to make TV commercials louder than the show they're in
*Ford Pinto exploding gas tank
*Chia pets
*Bernie Madoff
*Waterworld

Vehicle anti-innovations could be its own anti-Nobel. Throw the suddenly-accelerating Audi 5000 in with the Pinto. I dig it!
