Sobre este episódio

For physicists, chemists, diplomats, medical researchers, and even writers, the Nobel Prize represents the ultimate accolade. Since Their inception in 1901, the purpose has been to honour those who "during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind", in their respective fields. Now that wording comes from the will of Alfred Nobel himself, which was signed in November 1895 in Paris. The Swedish chemist and industrialist held over 350 scientific patents during his lifetime, with dynamite being the invention that made him extraordinarily wealthy.
