      Don't see it that way. Thousands of years ago, a simple man discovered fire, that was the base of the next civilizations. Every little step to progress is made everytime. Maybe these days internet is a very important thing, but a hundred years later, that would be just like fire compared to what we have now.

      Well think of it this way, Nobel made his prize to encourage others of his field for something. That's just what he did. Other groups of people can come up with their own prizes and awards systems. But also maybe people like Linus don't want anything, and as for mathematicians, I don't think you're wrong. I haven't heard of anything contemporary in mathematics full stop.
