How To Win A Nobel Prize

Everyone knows that winning the Nobel Prize is a big deal, but why do we even have a Nobel Prize? And why does it matter?

Where does the money for the Nobel Prizes come from?
"At the age of 17, Swedish Alfred Nobel spoke five languages fluently. Nobel became an inventor and businessman, and at the time of his death on 10 December 1896, he had 355 patents worldwide - one of them was the patent on dynamite."

How the Nobel Prize became the most controversial award on Earth
"No one can really agree on why the Nobel Prizes are a much bigger deal than all the other prizes out there. Perhaps it's because they've been around for more than a century or because the prize - roughly $1 million - is so large. But at this point, they're definitely one of the most impressive awards around."

The Youngest Nobel Prize Winners
"Werner Heisenberg is one of history's physics giants, and he took the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932, at 31, 'for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which has, inter alia, led to the discovery of the allotropic forms of hydrogen.'"

What about the people who discovered helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon??
They should get *Noble* prizes.

Fun Fact: One might assume Einstein got his nobel price for his theory of relativity but he was actually awarded the medal for his contributions to the understanding of the photoelectric effect. One of the first important experiments in developing quantum mechanics. However, this man contributed so much to physics that it is hard to find some field where you don't stumble upon some 'Einstein-X' equation sooner or later. Undoubfully one of the greatest minds in history.

Einstein got his Nobel Prize because of photons and explaining the photoelectric effect, not his relativity or E=MC^22

Madam Curie was amazing, she gave her life to advance the human understanding, her own discovery killed her and it's just amazing how much we know now thanks to her.

I have an issue here: the painting at 0:48 is not Alfred Nobel, it's Louis Pasteur.

One thing that Tace didn't mention is that Nobels aren't given out after a recipient's death. One of the main reasons why Rosalind Franklin's professor and research partner was able to steal her project and receive a nobel for it for himself.

There is no prize in Astronomy which may partly explain why the discovery of gravity waves was forsaken, though it involved a great deal of physics to find them.

Wow, now THAT is interesting, nobel prize went to a THESIS ADVISOR 😱 ima be careful with ma advisor choice 🤣🤣🤣🤣

George Surdarshan is probably the best example of somebody being snubbed out of a physics Nobel a rumored SIX times for very important contribution to theoretical physics.

Receivers of the Nobel Prize are known officially as laureates, not "winners"

We must not forget that Alfred Nobel was directly involved in armaments through his 1894 purchase of the steel producing company Bofors which he put on course to become one of the world’s leading military weapons
manufacturers contributing to many peoples deaths in wars. Alfred Nobel came up with the idea of using his money for the annual prizes after hisbrother, Ludvig, died in 1888 and a French newspaper mistakenly thought it had been Alfred Nobel himself who died. The newspaper published the obituary under the title: “The Merchant of Death is Dead”, going on to
state: “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.” So the prize money derives not only from dynamite production but also from weapons manufacturing.

Was waiting for a tutorial about this!!

next what? how to create click bait videos on YouTube?

Alfred Nobel invented the dynamit, for mining purpose. But people started to use it fot killing eachother, so to not be known for the guy that killed thousands of people with his invention. He started to give out the prize to extrodinary progess for mankind.

Step one: Be corrupt
Step two: Know the right people
Step three: ???
Step four: Profit

Hey, genius, that wasn't a picture of Alfred Nobel, it was a picture of Louis Pasteur.

The top most prize for an human achievement in any of those five areas is Nobel prize only. Thanks for honoring the great achievers in the world.

I want to win the Nobel Prize for literature. This is my greatest ambition...
