What is Nobelitis when some laureates believe unscientific ideas?
Nobelitis, or "Nobel Disease", is when some Nobel laureates adopt unscientific or paranormal beliefs beyond their expertise after winning. The prestige can cause a false sense of infallibility, leading to endorsement of fringe ideas. Examples include Kary Mullis and Pierre Curie. Though not a medical condition, it shows even great minds can stray from scientific rigour.
