Chapter 483: Scientist
In 1876, Bertha, the daughter of Austrian Generalissimo Franz Kinsky, was hired as his secretary, during which time Nobel fell in love with her, but Bertha already had a home.
For this, Nobel had to give up the woman.
The current boss is generally a secretary who has something to do, and he has nothing to do as a secretary, and Nobel at that time actually wanted to do this, but it's a pity......
This is another tragedy......
In the autumn of the same year, when Nobel went on a business trip to Austria, he met Sophie, a flower girl, in a flower shop in Vienna. After that, Nobel maintained a relationship with Sophie for nearly 15 years (18 years).
It's a good thing to have a flower girl to accompany you, after all, it's a woman, after all, it's a woman with wine, meat and a woman, yes, it's better than nothing, right?
The difference between yes and no, only those who have been lonely will understand.
However, the feeling of happiness and pain can only be understood by those who have lived through happiness and pain.
At that time, Nobel wanted Sophie to be his partner, and bought a villa for her in the resort, and also bought a gorgeous mansion in the wealthy area of Paris, but because Sophie was uneducated and uneducated, she did not listen to Nobel's persuasion, and only knew how to squander, Nobel felt sad and disappointed.
The tragedy is terrible, and it can be seen that it is terrible to have culture, and it is even more terrible to be uneducated......
In the spring of 1891, Sophie wrote to Nobel that she was about to give birth to a child. When Nobel saw the news, he was completely disappointed, but he still wrote to comfort and advise her, and decided not to deal with her again, and provided her with a pension of 300,000 Hungarian kronor through a lawyer.
Doing so can be regarded as the fulfillment of benevolence and righteousness.
His love is really a tragedy......
Before his death, Nobel made a will in 1895, in which the majority of his estate of $9.2 million was used as a fund, and five prizes were established with an annual interest rate ($200,000 per year) in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace (the Bank of Sweden added the Prize in Economics in 1969) to reward scholars who made the greatest contributions in the above fields that year.
Since 1901, the prize has been awarded at 4:30 p.m. on December 10, the time of Nobel's death.
In order to commemorate the Nobel Prize, the Nobel Prize is divided into the following six categories:
(1) Nobel Prize in Physics: Awarded to a person who has made important inventions and discoveries in physics, decided by the Swedish Academy of Sciences.
(2) Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Awarded to a person who has made important discoveries and improvements in chemistry at the Swedish Academy of Sciences.
(3) Nobel Prize in Medicine: Awarded to a person who has made an important discovery in physiology or medicine, as decided by the Carolingian Society in Stockholm.
(4) Nobel Prize in Literature: Awarded to a person who has inspired and guided literary thought, decided by the Stockholm Academy of Sciences.
(5) Nobel Peace Prize: Awarded by a five-member committee of the Norwegian Parliament to a person who has made an important contribution to the abolition and reduction of armaments in order to promote friendly international relations and to the establishment and popularization of the Peace Conference.
(6) Nobel Prize in Economics: It is not one of the five major areas of award mentioned in Nobel's will, but was added by the Bank of Sweden in 1968 to commemorate the Nobel Prize, and the winner is determined by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The Nobel Prize when he was young was very good, but his path to study was actually bumpy.
In 1841, Nobel attended the local Jotai Primary School, the only school in his life where he received formal education.
Nobel had the lowest attendance in class due to illness.
But in school, he studied hard, so his grades were often at the top, which was really amazing......
In 1842, Nobel's family moved to St. Petersburg, Russia.
Nine-year-old Nobel was unable to attend the local school because he did not know Russian and was not in good health. His father hired a tutor to tutor his three brothers in their cultural studies. The teacher often conducted performance evaluations and reported to his father on his learning, and Nobel made rapid progress.
In 1850, at the age of 17, Nobel traveled to the United States as an engineer to intern in the workshop of the famous Allison engineer. After the internship expired, he went to Europe and the United States for four years before returning home.
Wherever he went, he immediately began to work to gain an in-depth understanding of the industrial development of various countries.
In 1850, he studied chemistry in the United States.
In 1852, he returned to St. Petersburg.
In 1858, he went to London to raise funds for his father's business.
In 1859, he returned to Stockholm with his younger brother Yemir due to the failure of his father's business.
What about the research phase......
In 1860, he began to work on nitroglycerin explosives.
In 1863, Nobel returned to Sweden to develop explosives with his father and younger brother, but the government forbade them to conduct further experiments when the factory was blown up and his brother was killed by an accidental explosion.
It's tragic enough, and it's a big blow......
For a time, he set up his laboratory on a barge on Lake Mara outside Stockholm. In the autumn of that year, Nobel successfully invented the detonator for nitroglycerin explosives, and in October, he obtained a patent for nitroglycerin explosives.
In 1864, due to the explosion of the nitroglycerin factory, his younger brother Yemir died tragically, and the Swedish factory was closed to build a factory in Germany, and in October, the nitroglycerin explosives company was established.
In 1865, a gunpowder company was established in Hamburg, Germany, and a factory was built in Klube.
In 1866, nitroglycerin explosions continued to occur all over the world, so there was a rush to ban them, and the nitroglycerin company was in trouble, and at the same time the glycerin explosives were invented.
In May 1867, the British patent for explosives was obtained, and the new Nobel detonator was successfully invented.
In 1867, the Nobel Company was established in various parts of Europe, and the explosives business flourished, and at the same time as his father won the Astor Prize of the Swedish Academy of Sciences.
In 1871, he founded the Dynamite Company in England and cooperated with Paul Bau.
In 1873, he settled in Paris.
In 1876, he hired Mrs. Stowe as his secretary, and then became enthusiastic about the peace movement.
In 1878, he completed the invention of plastic explosives, and in May, he joined the oil industry and established the Nobel Brothers Oil Company.
In 1880, he was awarded the Order of Science by the King of Sweden and the Grand Order of France.
In 1884, he was recommended as a member of the Royal Society of London, the Technical Society of Paris, and the Royal Swedish Scientific Society.
In 1887, he obtained a patent for gunpowder for jet shells.
In 1890, he was persecuted by the French and left Paris, where he had lived for 18 years, and moved to San Limo, Italy, where he founded the Institute. In the following six years, he continued to work on a variety of new inventions, involving chemical, mechanical, electrical, medical and other fields.
In 1893, he became an honorary professor at the University of Wupsalle, Sweden, where he taught philosophy.
On November 27, 1895, a will was made, and the Nobel Prize was awarded.
On the evening of December 10, 1896, he died at the age of 63 at the estate of Mionides in St. Limo.
A generation of science gurus passed away like this......
