    The nobel prize comitte has since long abandoned Nobel’s will in this matter

    How long? Wouldn’t this just kind of suggest that criteria is simply different at this point? Maybe complex electronic devices didn’t exist back then, so one can really only guess as to what he would think. Because he’s been dead for a very long time…

    The prize is named after the dude, he doesn’t get to decide the rules of its award in perpetuity.

      Yes he does. It’s the law.

      Nobel’s last will specified that his fortune be used to create a series of prizes for those who confer the “greatest benefit on mankind”
