मित्र/मैत्रिणींनो,

     आज दिनांक-10.12.2023-रविवार आहे. १० डिसेंबर, हा दिवस "अल्फ्रेड नोबेल दिवस" म्हणूनही ओळखला जातो. वाचूया, तर या दिवसाचे महत्त्व, आजच्या या "दिन-विशेष-लेख" या शीर्षकI-अंतर्गत.

           page four of Alfred Bernhard Nobel's will--

     The last page of Alfred Bernhard Nobel's will, which he signed in Paris on November 27, 1895.

     By 1895 Nobel had developed angina pectoris, and he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at his villa in San Remo, Italy, in 1896. At his death his worldwide business empire consisted of more than 90 factories manufacturing explosives and ammunition. The opening of his will, which he had drawn up in Paris on November 27, 1895, and had deposited in a bank in Stockholm, contained a great surprise for his family, friends, and the general public. He had always been generous in humanitarian and scientific philanthropies, and he left the bulk of his fortune in trust to establish what came to be the most highly regarded of international awards, the Nobel Prizes.

     Learn how the invention of dynamite led, in part, to the global recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr., as a civil rights leader

     Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, which resulted in a fortune, his disillusionment, and the Nobel Prizes—one of which, the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, Martin Luther King, Jr., received for his role in the American civil rights movement. This video explores how Nobel's and Fritz Haber's lives provide evidence of the importance of the social responsibility of scientists.

     We can only speculate about the reasons for Nobel's establishment of the prizes that bear his name. He was reticent about himself, and he confided in no one about his decision in the months preceding his death. The most plausible assumption is that a bizarre incident in 1888 may have triggered the train of reflection that culminated in his bequest for the Nobel Prizes. That year Alfred's brother Ludvig had died while staying in Cannes, France. The French newspapers reported Ludvig's death but confused him with Alfred, and one paper sported the headline "Le marchand de la mort est mort" ("The merchant of death is dead.") Perhaps Alfred Nobel established the prizes to avoid precisely the sort of posthumous reputation suggested by this premature obituary. It is certain that the actual awards he instituted reflect his lifelong interest in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology, and literature. There is also abundant evidence that his friendship with the prominent Austrian pacifist Bertha von Suttner inspired him to establish the prize for peace.

     Nobel himself, however, remains a figure of paradoxes and contradictions: a brilliant, lonely man, part pessimist and part idealist, who invented the powerful explosives used in modern warfare but also established the world's most prestigious prizes for intellectual services rendered to humanity.
