Michelson was awarded a Nobel Prize in physics for the work--the first American so honored--but not for twenty years.
I'm not clear about what the phrase 'but not for twenty years' mean. Is it saying that Michelson was awarded a Nobel Prize in physics for the results of the work but not for his twenty years of work?
Thank you in advance.
