    The Nobel prize has only been awarded after Nobel’s death, seeing that it is part of his last will and testament.

    Also, from the fact that the whole prize (esp. the peace prize) is an atonement for the suffering his invention of dynamite brought to the world, I doubt that he would see himself as as candidate 😅

      Ya, my comment was more about him inventing dynamite and all Nobel talk lately. Could have used an /s

      I wouldn’t call his creation of the Nobel an atonement tho.
