Abstract

The article explores the life of Alfred Nobel, born in 1833, and how he transitioned from a young man with an education in various fields to becoming the inventor of dynamite, revolutionizing the construction industry. It also discusses his lasting legacy in the form of the Nobel Prize, a fund he established before his death in 1896 to support intellectual achievements in fields such as physics, chemistry, medicine, and economic science, with speculation about his motivations for creating fund.
