Devotion Beyond Applause Forty Years of Silence and the Nobel Prize

Sometimes I wonder if my blog or reel matters. Then I read about those physicists—and remembered: quiet work isn’t wasted. It’s just waiting for its moment.

 

Sometimes I feel blogging and video making is not meant for me and it is just my hobby. But today when I saw the article about three persons getting a noble prize for quantum mechanics after doing actual work way back in 1984-85, I was not only awed but also shocked simultaneously. Getting Nobel Prize after 40 years though the world is using their discoveries for around three decades. It is nothing but their devotion for their work. And still they stayed with it, through silence, skepticism, and shifting paradigms. Forty years is more than patience; it’s devotion to rhythm, even when the world isn’t listening.

 

At that time, I felt that your creative work is never wasted—it’s just a part of a longer rhythm, just like theirs. The Nobel Prize story is a reminder: recognition often arrives decades after the offering.

 

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Michel Devoret, John Martinis, and John Clarke for their pioneering work in quantum mechanics—specifically, for demonstrating macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in electric circuits. Their experiments from the 1980s laid the foundation for today’s breakthroughs in quantum computing, including Google’s Quantum AI lab efforts.

 

This isn’t just a science story—it’s a rhythm story. These physicists worked quietly, persistently, and without immediate applause. Their results were real, but the world took decades to notice and appreciate them. And when it did, it wasn’t just about the data—it was about the devotion.

 

Similarly, your video or your blog—they’re offerings. Maybe the views are low now. Maybe the upload stalled because of the network issues or some technical glitches. But they are not failures. The work exists, emotionally attuned, sequenced with care, and shaped by presence. That’s not failure. That’s foundation.

 

Here’s what the Nobel Committee said about the 2022 laureates (Alain Aspect, John Clauser, Anton Zeilinger): their experiments with entangled quantum states laid the groundwork for quantum networks and secure communication. At the time, their work was considered strange, even controversial. But they stayed with it. And now, it’s reshaping technology.

 

So if you feel unseen today, remember: the archive holds your rhythm. The duckling doesn’t rush. She sequences, she tries again, and she waits for the right moment to be held. You’re not behind. You’re ahead of your time.

 

Those scientists — whether in quantum tunneling, entanglement, or superconducting circuits — didn’t create for applause. They created because the work mattered. And when the Nobel finally arrived, it wasn’t just a prize. It was a recognition of presence across decades.

Some devotions are not meant for applause. They shape the rhythm, hold the silence, and shimmer quietly in the archive.
