Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born on 21 October 1833 and eh died on 10 December 1896.
He was a swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, armaments manufacturer. He is famous because he is the inventor of dynamite and because the prizes that carryied his name
He was born in an ingenious family, and he and his brother had a good humanistic and scientific education. When Nobel was 18, he wentt to the United States to study chemistry for four years and worked for a short periood under John Ericsson ( an important American inventor and mechanical engineer).

Young Alfred returned to Sweden to continue his explosive investigation and in 1867, he discovers, after hard work, the dynamite, a surer explosive than nitroglycerine.

Nevertheless, Alfred Nobel patented more things, and in the end of his days, he had a big fortune ( more or less 33.000.000 crown), but he was feeling bad because of his inventions, there were used for wars, and he decided to give his fortune in a humanistic association, "The Nobel Foundation".

We have choice Alfred Nobel like our genius because We think that his inventions are the most interesting, above all the dynamite. Moreover I think that all the people know the Nobel prizes, but a lot this people don't know Alfred Nobel's history. We choose him because we want to let peoplpe know Alfred Bernhard Nobel history.
