Famous People That Were Nominated For The Nobel Prize Award But Lost Out by topitronics10: 9:48pm On Jul 14, 2020 |
The nobel prize award was named after a Swedish scientist, Alfred Nobel, he was also a reknown engineer as well as a great industrialist. He through his will endowed prizes in chemistry, literature, peace, physics medicine in the year 1901. the prize for winning the Nobel award is nine million swedish kronor, approximately about 1 million dollars, along side a gold medal and a diploma. Funny enough Alfred established this award when he read about his own obituary in a french newspaper which read the merchant of death is dead. it was not Alfred who had died it was his brother. this news troubled the great scientist a great deal so much so that he sought for a way to be remembered in a good light after his death. so he established the award. ( He was known for manufacturing war equipment). since his death a lot of famous people has been nominated the following are those that were nominated but lost out on the award. continue from the site below https://m.hub.opera.com/system/preview?aid=a792fe5b7b894b04a29f9551ff4a6f99 |

Why only nine? There are thousands more I'm sure. BTW, OP you shoulda just written out those names instead of telling us about Mr Nobel, the merchant of death himself.... Many whites are like him. Make money from anguish and destruction. Then give peanuts out as charity, they're hailed and their sins forgiven FTC : ![]() |
