The Nobel Prizes. By Alfred Nobel. (actually it was written by Yumi, but he was the one who made the name, and the entire thing.)
I have always wanted to win a Nobel prize. specifically, the chemistry prize, as chemistry never ceases to fascinate me.
Old Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) had invented dynamite and became a very wealthy man. When he died, I'm sure there were a lot of greedy second removed relatives, and long lost cousins all clamouring for a share. But nooooooo. With his money, he set up the Nobel Prize. There are five.
Physics Prize
Chemistry Prize (Yay!)
Physiology or Medicine Prize
Literature Prize
Peace Prize
I don't know why there Isn't a math prize, and I may never know. but here you have it: The Noble Prize.
I have always wondered how someone qualifies to receive any of the Nobel Prizes. Do you know what they need to know or have done to obtain one of the prizes? I will have to do some research on that. (That's what I do when I have a question about something: I look it up and read about it from several different sources). Asked by: Sister Bird (Brother Bird and I taught Emi in Nursery when we all still lived in Herndon, Virginia. Ask her if she remembers the baby stroller races she had with Piper and Adolina :)
ReplyDeleteI can hardly remember anything about America, I can only remember Cora and Ginger.:( I think I remember Piper, though ever since Egypt I have been forgetting my old memories, even my friends.:(
