David Gross has won the Special Breakthrough Prize for Fundamental Physics with a whopping $3 million prize, as announced by the Breakthrough Prize Foundation on April 18, 2026.
The prize honors scientists whose discoveries have contributed significant advancement to the development of human knowledge.
The Breakthrough Prizes—commonly known as the ’Oscars of Science’—were established in 2012 to celebrate the wonders of the 21st century scientific age.
David Gross, who is a Nobel Prize laureate in Physics (2004), served as director at the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics at University of California, Santa Barbara for three decades.
What earned Gross winning Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics?
In the early 1970s, there was a wide gap in quantum field theory, as it could not define the strong nuclear force, which holds the atom’s nucleus together.
But in 1973, Gross and his graduate student Frank Wilczek cracked the mystery.
They discovered that the strong force works the opposite way to familiar forces like gravity: it gets weaker as particles approach each other, but stronger as they move apart.
That discovery led to the development of quantum chromodynamics.
After taking home the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, he drops a shocking prediction for humanity in an interview with LiveScience.
Gross, when asked if humanity will ever get to a place where we get rid of nuclear weapons.
Gross predicted, “We’re not recommending that. That’s idealistic, but yet, I hope so. Because if you don’t, there’s always some risk an AI 100 years from now, but chances of (humanity) living, with this estimate, 100 years, is very small, and living 200 years is infinitesimal.”
Gross became one of this year’s six awardees for his contributions to theoretical physics, earning the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.
David Gross has remained an authority in fundamental physics for six decades.
Sarah Ferguson has made a big sacrifice for her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, despite their U-turn.
In 2025, Epstein files made it to the headlines, bringing negative spotlight on all those who were part of Jeffrey’s circle, including King Charles’ former sister-in-law.
Fergie called Epstein a “legend” and her “supreme friend” even after his crimes were exposed.
The moment King Charles took away every kind of royal perks from Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah was nowhere to be seen in the UK.
The only time she was photographed was at the christening ceremony of her granddaughter Athena.
Most recently, Sarah was spotted in Austria’s chalet in the mountains.
Now, Fergie’s cousin Martin Barrantes revealed when the former Duchess made a secret exit from the limelight.
In a conversation with the Daily Mail, he said, “I have spoken to her [and] can tell you that she just wants to protect her children and her grandchildren.”
Sarah’s disappearance from the media is reportedly for the well-being of her daughters.
Martin shared that he talked to Fergie three months ago, revealing that she is going through a “difficult moment.”
It is also important to note that Beatrice and Eugenie have been maintaining a distance from their parents in order to save their royal roles, which was seen as a betrayal by many.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have all but confirmed they are the latest power couple in Hollywood, hard-launching their relationship with a high-profile date night in Malibu.
The SKIMS mogul and the British Formula 1 champion were spotted enjoying an intimate two-hour dinner at Nobu on Saturday, looking entirely smitten as they made their way to the oceanfront celebrity hotspot.
Pulling up in a luxury 2026 Mercedes-Maybach, Hamilton lived up to his “perfect gentleman” reputation by hopping out to open the door for Kardashian, who was seen beaming as she stepped out to join him.
The pair didn’t seem interested in playing it cool for the cameras, emerging from the restaurant around 11 PM with matching smiles that suggested they are well past the “just friends” stage.
Kardashian opted for a soft, flirty look in a begonia pink zip-up top paired with a floor-length beige skirt, while the 41-year-old Stevenage native kept things polished in a gray bomber jacket and dark slacks.
While they have been friends for years, the romance reportedly shifted into high gear earlier this year after they were spotted at hotels in the Cotswolds and Paris.
The relationship has already earned the seal of approval from the Kardashian clan, with insiders noting that the family is particularly fond of Hamilton’s easygoing energy.
Hamilton has previously been linked to stars like Nicole Scherzinger and Rihanna.
With a series of public appearances ranging from the Super Bowl to intimate dinners, it’s clear the couple is no longer hiding their connection.
For fans of both the reality star and the F1 legend, this Malibu date night serves as the clearest sign yet that they are going full throttle on their new life together.
