Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) was a Swedish scientist. He is best known for the invention of dynamite (an explosive) and for founding the Nobel Prize awards. He left instructions in his will that his money should fund the Nobel Prize. He decided to found the awards because someone had criticized his invention of dynamite as a harmful invention, with the potential to kill many people. He left 31 million kronor (the Swedish currency) to the award. He died two weeks after adding the part founding the prize in his will.
