December 10th is Nobel Prize
December 10th is Nobel Prize Day, the date that marks the award ceremony for the Nobel Prizes, one of the most prestigious honors in the world. The origin of the award dates back to the anniversary of the death of its mentor Alfred Nobel, a Swedish inventor, engineer and industrialist, best known for having created dynamite. In his will, Nobel left most of his fortune to the creation of awards that recognized notable achievements in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Peace. The first Nobel Prize award ceremony took place in 1901, and since then, the tradition of awarding individuals and organizations that have contributed significantly to humanity has been maintained. It is a time to reflect on the values of the awards, such as peace, social justice and scientific advancement. Recently, the Nobel Committee has also begun to recognize innovations in economics and human rights, expanding the scope of the honors.
