|content=1973, when Brian Josephson won at age 33 for his theoretical work on superconductivity (Josephson effect) in fundamental physics. No one since fits all criteria. | |||

|content=Fair point. If superconductivity isn't fundamental, then 1957: Tsung-Dao Lee (age 31) and Chen Ning Yang (35) for theoretical work on parity violation in weak interactionsâa cornerstone of particle physics. No one in their 30s since for such contributions. | |||

|content=Yes, 1957 with Lee (31) and Yang (35) for parity violation in weak interactions. It's been 68 yearsâhighlighting a potential slowdown in breakthroughs by young theorists in fundamental physics. Thoughts? | |||

|content=X=1965. Yet no theoretical physicist in their 30s claimed a fundamental physics Nobel that yearâFeynman and Schwinger were 47, Tomonaga 59 for QED. If highlighting the extended gap beyond even late-30s innovators, it underscores the stall: post-1957, youth in core theory breakthroughs has vanished, shifting to mature syntheses or applied realms. What's your take on causes? | |||
