FIRST YOU MUST HAVE SPECIFIED YOUR AGE AND THE FIELD OF PHYSICS IN WHICH YOU ARE WORKING OR WILLING TO WORK AND ITS RELEVANCE TO THE PRESENT DAY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. MANY TIMES A THEORETICAL WORK IN PHYSICS CAN'T BE VERIFED BY EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES AND TOOLS AND HENCE THE PHYSICIST HAS TO WAIT FOR VERIFICATION OF HIS PREDICTIONS BASED ON HIS/HER MODEL. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIFTH STATE OF MATTER CALLED BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE WAS PREDICTED IN 1917, AND WAS FIRST MADE IN 1995 WHEN NEITHER EINSTEIN NOR BOSE WAS ALIVE. SO, A NOBEL PRIZE AT 25, IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE IN TERMS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS.
REMEMBER ONE THING, A PHYSICIST'S JOB IS TO CARRY ON HIS/HER WORK AND NOT TO BOTHER ABOUT THE RESULTS(FRUITS OF ITS LABOUR), AS WELL SAID IN BHAGWAD GEETA BY LORD KRISHNA.

No. Generally, the prize will be awarded to you years after you've done the work and published the paper. Unless you published your new, innovative paper before you were 14, you're probably not going to get the Nobel Prize for physics at 25.

There were whole bunch of young people who got Nobel Prize in Physics around 1910, but these days that might be a little tough. You usually complete your Ph. D around that time or even later, and then you have to get into one of the top labs (CERN, Berkeley/Lawrence, Fermi, e.t.c.) as a researcher, then go on the team of researchers, and actually be one of the leaders to be creditted with the discovery. It's a lot of competition and remember, usually the discoveries are supported by about 100 people staff. My friend is working at CERN at the moment but he's still one of the underlings, and he's around 35.
Good luck! With hard work and inspiration, Nobel Prize isn't a dream.

Nobel Prizes are usually given many years after the original work that inspired the prize. This gives the prize committees time to thoroughly evaluate the importance of the work.
For example, Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his explanation of the photoelectric effect." Einstein's most important work was published in 1905. Einstein's Nobel Prize citation omitted a reference to his Theory of Relativity because it remained controversial 16 years later (and remains so today).
If you invented a method of time travel at 25, you would probably have to wait until at least 35 to get your prize. (Of course, you could travel back ten years to let your younger self know you got the prize!)

no because nobel prize is a very prestigious prize which u get after years of hard work and recognition.u got more chance of winning a lottery than getting a nobel prize at this age.

if u do something & prove it ,perfectly
for eg:- einstein is famous 4 theory of relativity but he got a nobel prize for photoelectric effect,coz relativity could not be proved

not unless your thesis project gets it for you. most 25 year old physisists are still in grad school...
