Granting the Nobel Prize to the European Union Is in Violation of Alfred Nobel’S Will
The EU is not a “Person”: Granting the Nobel Prize to the European Union is in Violation of Alfred Nobel’s Will By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Region: Europe Global Research, October 13, 2012 Theme: Law and Justice This year’s Nobel Peace Prize was granted to the European Union (EU) for its relentless contribution to “the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe.” While the EU’s contribution to peace is debatable, the key issue is whether a union of nation states, which constitutes a political, economic, monetary and fiscal entity is an “eligible candidate” for the Peace Prize, in accordance with the mandate of the Norwegian Committee. The Olympic Games are “granted” to countries. But the Nobel Peace Prize cannot under any stretch of the imagination be granted to a nation-state, let alone a union of nation states. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has a responsibility to ascertain “the eligibility of candidates” in accordance with the Will of Alfred Bernhard Nobel Paris,( 27 November, 1895). “The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way: the capital, invested in safe securities by my executors, shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind…. The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within -
To Read a PDF-Chapter About Robert and Ludvig
172 robert & lu dvig obert’s intention in 1876 was to found his own firm, Robert Nobel & Co., and for that he needed Ludvig’s technical advice and continued financial support. In 1875 he travelled to St. Petersburg to discuss the further development of the businessR with his brother, to whom he had earlier sent detailed calculations of the costs of constructing oil reservoirs, water pipes and more besides for a total sum of 50,000 roubles. Robert was not counting on any profit for 1875 but already the following year the firm should be “a considerable business”, in the course of a few years becoming “one of the most splendid in the country.” It was the third time that Robert had travelled to the capital to brief Ludvig and to discuss the future with him. One reason why he decided to make the arduous journey was the slow postal service. During the summer half of the year it took two weeks for a letter to arrive, during the winter, six. As the letters moreover often crossed each other, exchange of views as well as decision-making was rendered more difficult. Since during the summer months “only 6 ideas can be exchanged and during the remaining 6 winter months only 3, making a total of 9 for the year” Robert was some- times forced to act without asking Ludvig for advice, which he regretted. Nine ideas a year was naturally starvation rations for individuals with the Nobel brothers’ propeller-driven intellect. That Robert, during this visit, finally succeeded in convincing Ludvig of the potential of his project emerges from a letter which Ludvig wrote to Alfred after Robert’s departure and in which he urged Alfred to join in the oil business: Robert has returned to Baku after his trip to the East coast and has found excellent naphtha at a depth of 10 fathoms on the island of Chelek. -
Times of India the Nobel Foundation Versus Michael Nobel
Times of India http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/The-Nobel-Foundation-versus-Michael- Nobel/articleshow/3501511.cms The Nobel Foundation versus Michael Nobel Bella Jaisinghani, TNN | Sep 19, 2008, 08.55AM IST inShare MUMBAI: An award ceremony scheduled to take place in the city on Friday has revived an old controversy between the Nobel Foundation, which awards the most prestigious prize in the world, and one of the descendants of its founder, Sir Alfred Nobel. Michael Nobel, the great-grand nephew of Sir Alfred, is in Mumbai as guest of honour at the silver jubilee award function of the Priyadarshni Academy. The awards will be distributed in the presence of CM Vilasrao Deshmukh. On Thursday, Nobel recounted the rich heritage of the Nobel Prize. Sir Alfred, he said, had a big library and was fond of literature. "He was a physicist and chemist and a peace-loving person, therefore these prizes, and the one for medicine probably came from the fact that he was a hypochondriac,'' he added. For all his family pride though, there is a hitch. Michael Nobel is the executive chairman of the Nobel Charitable Trust-which has nothing to do with the Nobel Foundation . He is not the "patriarch of the Nobel Prize' ' as his PR machinery describes him. Michael's father Sven Oleinikoff took his mother's maiden name of Nobel. Michael has had a number of run-ins with the Foundation when he tried to institute a parallel award using the famous name. The Foundation even threatened legal action. In an exclusive email interview to TOI, executive director of the Nobel Foundation Michael Sohlman wrote from Stockholm: "Michael Nobel has no relation whatsoever with the Nobel Foundation, even if on a number of instances , 'misunderstandings' to that effect somehow have arisen. -

Alfred Nobel and His Prizes: from Dynamite to DNA
Open Access Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal NOBEL PRIZE RETROSPECTIVE AFTER 115 YEARS Alfred Nobel and His Prizes: From Dynamite to DNA Marshall A. Lichtman, M.D.* Department of Medicine and the James P. Wilmot Cancer Institute, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY, USA ABSTRACT Alfred Nobel was one of the most successful chemists, inventors, entrepreneurs, and businessmen of the late nineteenth century. In a decision later in life, he rewrote his will to leave virtually all his fortune to establish prizes for persons of any nationality who made the most compelling achievement for the benefit of mankind in the fields of chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace among nations. The prizes were first awarded in 1901, five years after his death. In considering his choice of prizes, it may be pertinent that he used the principles of chemistry and physics in his inventions and he had a lifelong devotion to science, he suffered and died from severe coronary and cerebral atherosclerosis, and he was a bibliophile, an author, and mingled with the literati of Paris. His interest in harmony among nations may have derived from the effects of the applications of his inventions in warfare (“merchant of death”) and his friendship with a leader in the movement to bring peace to nations of Europe. After some controversy, including Nobel’s citizenship, the mechanisms to choose the laureates and make four of the awards were developed by a foundation established in Stockholm; the choice of the laureate for promoting harmony among nations was assigned to the Norwegian Storting, another controversy. -

Nobel Brothers’ “ Life
European Scientific Journal December 2013 /SPECIAL/ edition vol.2 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE ROLE OF AZERBAIJAN OIL IN “ NOBEL BROTHERS’ “ LIFE Tarana Mirzayeva, Doctorant Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences / Azerbaijan Republic, Baku Abstract The detailed information was given about the famous “Nobel Brothers” who invested capital to having fertile oil reserves Azerbaijan in XIX century in the text. As it is known,possessing oil deposit of Azerbaijan attracted the attention of foreign investors. The investors became the oil magnats of the periods thanks to Azerbaijan oil getting a large amount of oil capitals. One of such oil magnats was “Nobel Brothers” by origin Swiss. The Nobels were four brothers. Emil, Ludvig, Robert and Alfred Nobel. In 1875 the Nobels founded their own company buying a little area,and then turned this company to the “Nobel Brothers Oil Production Society” company in 18 may 1879. The activities of company involved almost all spheres of oil industry:oil research, production, refining, transportation etc. “Nobel Brothers” got leadership for developing of oil industry in Baku thanks to strong competition. Especially, in Russian bazaar they possessed representatives and depots for the purpose of transportation of much needed gas field in some cities of Russia(Charchin, Saratov, Babrusk, Nizhny-Novgorod, Perm etc.), as well as, in various Europe cities (Geneva, Hamburg, London and Manchester etc.) “Nobel Brothers” worked for achieving significant success in all directions of oil business consulting with outstanding oil-chemists scientists (D.I.Mendeleyev, K.I.Lisenko, L.Q.Qurvich and engineers A.V.Bari, V.Q.Shuchov and others). -
Nobel Prize Roots in Russia
Nobel Prize roots in Russia Tatiana Antipova [ 0000-0002- 0872-4965] Institute of Certified Specialists, Perm, Russia https://doi.org/10.33847/2712-8148.1.1_4 Abstract. The scientist who does not dream of receiving the Nobel Prize is unthinkable. The main reason for this research is that fact that just about 2,5% of Nobel Prize winners are Russians. This paper analyzed archive and literature documents about the activity of Alfred Nobel in Russia. In 1879 three Nobel Brothers (including Alfred) founded the "Nobel Brothers Association", abbreviated as Branobel, in Russia. Success touched Alfred Nobel’s fut in Russian business and part of his profit was secured in Russian Central Bank as we know from Alfred Nobel’s will. As a result of current research author tried to evaluate contribution of A. Nobel’s Russian business in Nobel Foundation and Russian life. Consequently, it was revealed that A. Nobel’s executor Sohlman R. stated that in the assets of the Nobel Prize the originally share of funds received from Branobel activities was about 12%. Keywords: Nobel Prize, Branobel, Petroleum Company, imperial Russia, oil production, oil storage, oil trade, Alfred Nobel, Nobel’s will. 1. Introduction Nobel Prize is the most prestigious prize among scientists worldwide. Between 1901 and 2019, the Nobel Prizes and the Prize in Economic Sciences were awarded 597 times to 950 people and organizations [1]. Thereof, twenty-four Russians won Nobel Prizes: two in Physiology or Medicine, twelve in Physics, one in Chemistry, two in Economic Sciences, five in Literature, and two Peace Prizes [2]. So just about 2,5% of Nobel Prize winners are Russians. -

In connection with his construction work Immanuel Nobel also experimented with different techniques for blasting rocks. Alfred Nobel. Alfred's mother, born Andriette Ahlsell, came from a wealthy family. Due to misfortunes in his construction work caused by the loss of some barges of building material, Immanuel Nobel was forced into bankruptcy the same year Alfred Nobel was born. In 1837 Immanuel Nobel left Stockholm and his family to start a new career in Finland and in Russia. To support the family, Andriette Nobel started a grocery store which provided a modest income. Meanwhile Immanuel Nobel was successful in his new enterprise in St. Petersburg, Russia. He started a mechanical workshop which provided equipment for the Russian army and he also convinced the Tsar and his generals that naval mines could be used to block enemy naval ships from threatening the city.
