Hololive's Sorashina Sopia Watch-Along Nearly Matches Nobel Physics Pick
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics went to Francis Halzen, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor originally from Belgium and sole winner, for contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctic ice. Hololive newcomer Sorashina Sopia, a unit member of Asobi★Mawari-tai! who bills herself as a virtual science idol, hosted a watch-along of Miraikan's Niconico and YouTube stream of the announcement. Her prediction came close to naming Halzen.
