No new Einsteins, Maxwells, and Plancks?

A Nobel doth not a genius make.

But a Nobel is granted to a genius already made.

Not necessarily. Robert Lucas, for instance.

Every year someone will win the Nobel prize and that doesn't mean they are great like most of the early winners. And I'm not the only one who thinks like that. I remember Freeman Dyson saying something like that in article.
