Purpose of establishment

The Nobel Prize is based on Nobel The five awards established by the will in 1895, including the physics award, the chemistry award, the peace award, the physiology or medicine award and the literature award, are intended to recognize people who have "made the greatest contribution to mankind" in physics, chemistry, peace, physiology or medicine and literature; And the Nobel Prize in Economics set up by the Swedish Central Bank in 1968 to honor people who have made outstanding contributions in the field of economics [1]

Award Ceremony

The Nobel Prize awarding ceremony is held on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, respectively in the Swedish capital Stockholm Concert Hall And the Norwegian capital Oslo Held. Every award ceremony is held in the afternoon, because Nobel died at 4:30 p.m. on December 10, 1896. When the first award was given in 1901, people chose to hold the ceremony at the moment of Nobel's death. This special practice has always been followed. At the ceremony, the winner will be presented with a certificate, a medal and a document recording the amount of the bonus [69]
The number of people who attend the award ceremony every year is limited to 1500 to 1800; man Swallowtail or National costume Ladies should wear serious clothes Evening dress The white and yellow flowers used in the ceremony must be San Morey (Saint Morey is the place where Nobel died.) It means commemoration and respect for Nobel [70]
In 2021, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the awarding ceremony of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Economics will be held online again, and the Nobel Prize awarding dinner will be canceled. [85]

Medal certificate

  • medal
The gold medal of the Nobel Prize weighs about 270 grams and contains gold. The diameter of the medal is about 6.5 cm. The front is a relief of the Nobel Prize. Different awards and medals have different patterns on the back.
The medals of the Physics Prize, the Chemistry Prize, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Literature Prize were created by Swedish sculptor Eric Lindbergh. The Nobel suit and shoes on the medals were engraved with his name and the year of birth and death. The reverse patterns of the four awards and medals are different, but the styles are similar. All of them take the beautiful images in the myth to carve meaningful patterns. Among them, the medals of physics prize and chemistry prize have the same pattern, and motherhood is the god of fertility Isis The goddess of science is lifting the veil of Isis, the god of motherhood and fertility. In western culture, "lifting the veil of Isis" refers to solving mysterious phenomena; On the back of the medal of the Physiology or Medicine Award, there is a book on the knee of the goddess of medicine, who collects spring water for patients to drink; On the back of the medal of the Literature Award, it means Muse The goddess played the lyre, and a young man sat under the laurel tree, listening and recording.
The Peace Prize medal was designed by the Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. Compared with other medals, his name and year of birth and death were also moved to the edge of the medal in addition to the image of the Nobel character on the front. The pattern on the back shows three people on each other's shoulders, showing brotherly friendship. The inscription on the medal is "For the peace and brotherhood of mankind".
The designer of the economics prize medal is the Swedish sculptor Gunwal Swenson Lundquist. There are two intersecting fertile corners under the front Nobel head, surrounded by the words "The Bank of Sweden Commemorates Alfred Nobel, 1968". On the back is the Polaris emblem of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences [71]

No Nobel Prize in Mathematics

There is no Nobel Prize in mathematics. It is widely said that Nobel Prize is related to Nobel's personal emotional life. But mathematicians are more inclined to believe that this is related to Nobel's view of science. Nobel terminated the education in the public middle school at the age of 16, but he did not continue to go to university. He received some private education from Zinin, an excellent Russian organic chemist. In fact, it was Zinin who directed Nobel's attention to nitroglycerin in 1855. Nobel was a typical genius inventor in the 19th century. His invention requires materials, determination and intuition, but does not need any knowledge of advanced mathematics. In the second half of the 19th century, the field of chemistry generally did not need advanced mathematics, and Nobel's mathematical knowledge may not exceed four operations and the ratio. The basic changes in mathematical chemistry only occurred after the death of Nobel. In the few years after 1900, it is impossible for Nobel Prizes to ignore the influence of mathematics [73]

coincidence

On October 10, 2007, the 2007 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced as a German scientist Gerhard Ertl He was lucky to win the prize for his outstanding contributions in the field of surface chemistry research. Coincidentally, it was Etel's 71st birthday [73]

Wait 55 years

In 1911, Peyton Rous It was announced that the tumor was caused by a virus, but he waited 55 years until he was 85 years old and won the 1966 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine [73]
