Did you know who created the Nobel Prize? His name was Alfred Nobel. His last will in 1895 stated that a bulk of his fortune would be given as prizes “in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace.” The people who would receive the prizes were those who “have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” In his lifetime, he made several contributions to science himself, including the invention of dynamite.
