Anyone else not get Nobel and his Dynamite?

I mean, Alfred Nobel invented the blasting cap for it. The Peace Prize, too.

The Nobel Patent Detonator - Blasting Cap

In 1863, Alfred Nobel invented the Nobel patent detonator or blasting cap for detonating nitroglycerin and dynamite. The Nobel patent detonator used a strong shock rather than heat combustion to ignite the explosives. In 1865, the Nobel Company built the first factory that made nitroglycerin and later dynamite.

When he died in 1896, Alfred Nobel left behind a nine million dollar endowment fund. The Nobel prize is awarded yearly to people whose work helps humanity. In total, Alfred Nobel held three hundred and fifty-five patents in the fields of electrochemistry, optics, biology, and physiology.

1. A paradox which have interested historians for a long time

Perhaps a purist scientist with a hint of conscience? Or maybe he just had the hots for Bertha von Suttner?

Einstein referred to him and this great paradox in 1945 after the US dropping the bombs on Japan.
