Alfred Nobel: Yeah, the guy from the awards.
Ricardo García Rosales
Good Morning fellows, I’m going to talk about an inventor and Swedish scientist,who is Alfred Nobel, well; this man was born in Stockholm on October 21.
I´m pretty sure you should know this character because of the awards that aregiven to the people every year for the concerning fields of literature, physiology or medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Peace. But creating the NobelAwards wasn´t all what he did.
I think you are familiarized with what dynamite is, well this chemical compound, which you usually see in cowboy´s movieswas made by Alfred.
He opened a fabric and he started to sell his products, principally in the United States. Also he founded ElektrokemiskaAktiebolaget, better known as Eka.
During his life, Nobel accumulated a large fortune, but he had resentment and a guilty feeling that tormented him because ofcreating the dynamite that so many kills had caused. So that´s why in 1900 he created The Nobel Foundation, which he includes in his testament, where heestablishes to donate all his money to the mentioned institute, to award the very best exponents in some fields every year. It´s supposed, it´s only astory and it´s not proved that says that Alfred didn´t think about giving an award to the math´s field because he was involved in a disagreement with aMathematician who was accorded to receive the Nobel, so he removed the category.
Finally, Alfred Nobel died from a heart attack on December 10th.
