1. outline

Interest (that arises from miscarriages) is divided into five parts: those who have made the most important discoveries or inventions in the field of physics , those who have made the most important discoveries or developments in the field of chemistry , those who have made the most important discoveries in the field of physiology or medicine , and those who have made the most important discoveries in the field of literature It is given to the person who wrote the most outstanding works of ideology, the person who devoted the most to promoting friendship between nations, the abolition or reduction of armies, and the convening or promotion of peace conferences .

Alfred Nobel 's will
Sweden Royal Science Academy (Physics, Chemistry, Economics), Swedish Academy[3] (Literature), Carolinska Medical Research Institute (Physiology and Medicine), and Norwegian Nobel Committee (Peace) are the world's most prestigious awards to those who contribute to the development of human civilization every year .[4] It was made by the will of the businessman and engineer Alfred Nobel who invented the dynamite .

2. history

Nobel was skeptical about the military use of dynamite .[5] 94% of the estate in the will (approximately 4.4 million dollars)[6] ) was donated to establish the Nobel Prize.[7]

When Alfred Nobel attempted to donate most of his enormous fortune, his relatives, who felt that their share had been taken away, strongly protested. And in his will, Nobel requested that the prize be awarded regardless of nationality , which influenced public opinion in Sweden and the King of Sweden. Even King Oscar II criticized Nobel. In particular, the Peace Prize was awarded to a country under Swedish rule at the time. The fact that it was entrusted to Norway also fueled this. However, thanks to the decision of Ragnar Sohlman (1870-1948), the executor of the will, Nobel's assets remained as safe securities .[8] Considering the status of the Nobel Prize today, it may seem that it was created without any problems, but in reality, it was created after many twists and turns.

In the early days of the Nobel Prize, it was not considered as prestigious as it is now, but it soon became an award with global reputation. This was the result of continuous efforts to raise the level of the award.

In the case of the Nobel Prize in Economics , it is a new award that was established in 1968 after the Nobel Prize was established, unrelated to Nobel's will. central bank of sweden[9] This award was established to commemorate the 300th anniversary of its establishment, and its official name is ‘The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel’.[10] While the other five Nobel Prizes established in Nobel's will have their official names beginning with the Nobel Prize, the Nobel Prize in Economics begins with The Sveriges Riksbank Prize.

In other words, strictly speaking, the Nobel Prize in Economics is not a Nobel Prize but a Nobel Memorial Prize. However, the Royal Swedish Academy, which selects the economics prize winners, also selects the physics and chemistry prize winners, and they attend the award ceremony together with winners from other fields and receive the same prize money. This is because there is no reason to distinguish differently in Sweden.[11]

Therefore, the Nobel Prize in Economics is generally recognized as having the same authority as other Nobel Prizes. However, Peter Nobel, a descendant of Alfred Nobel's older brother, has a very negative view of the Nobel Prize in Economics and is demanding that the name 'Nobel', which was unauthorizedly attached to the Prize in Economics, be removed. In particular , they are criticizing that the Chicago School , which promotes stock option speculation, is sweeping up the prize, and that it has greatly deviated from Nobel's purpose of awarding the prize to those who have contributed to humanity .

3. Awards and Awards

3.1. prize field


The fields in which the Nobel Prize is awarded are ‘ Physics ’, ‘ Chemistry ’, and ‘Physiology / Medicine ’.[12]Literature ’, ‘ Peace ’, and ‘ Economics ’. Among these, the Economics Prize was established long after the Nobel Prize was established to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the Swedish Central Bank, and is a separate award unrelated to Nobel's will.

The fields in which the Nobel Prize is awarded are directly or indirectly related to the fields in which Nobel worked during his lifetime. Chemistry is the process of synthesizing and manufacturing explosives, physics is the study of the reaction energy of explosions, and physiology and medicine is the use of nitroglycerin, the explosive he manufactured , as a medicine. In his later years, Nobel continued to write literature in hopes of peace. Literature and the Peace Prize are related in the sense that Nobel was a successful businessman, and although it was a new field proposed later, the Economics Prize can also be seen as related.

Among the five fields of natural science ( physics / chemistry / biology / earth science / astronomy ), the relationship between the fields other than physics and chemistry, which are clearly mentioned in the names of the awards, and the Nobel Prize is as follows.
  • Earth sciences ( geology , meteorology , oceanography ) are absent from the Nobel Prize categories.[13] However, prizes in physics or chemistry can be awarded for achievements in the fields of geophysics, geochemistry, which are subfields of geology, and atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, which are subfields of meteorology, and ocean physics, which are subfields of oceanography . And that actually happened. Two of the winners of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics are meteorologists, and their research achievements were in the field of atmospheric dynamics, and 2021 was the first time that the Nobel Prize was awarded to meteorological research. Meanwhile , there is also a precedent for a person related to global warming and the environment to receive the Nobel Peace Prize .
  • Since astronomy is closely related to physics, those who have made great achievements in the field of astronomy have the potential to win the Physics Prize, and there have already been several awards, including in 2019 .[14]
  • In biology , the physiology mentioned in the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine can be seen as actually encompassing various fields of biology.[15] It belongs to the field of awards.
    • Although ecology is a field of biology , it is difficult to consider it included in physiology. However, there are cases where the Nobel Prize was awarded for research on animal behavior, which can be said to be included in ecology in the broad sense. That is, Karl von Frisch, who studied the dance of bees , Konrad Lorenz, who discovered the imprinting of geese and ducks , and Nicholas Tinbergen, an ornithologist and ethologist who was Richard Dawkins ' teacher, received the Nobel Prize in 1973 for their research on ethology. He has won awards in physiology and medicine.
    • In the case of botany , Richard Martin Billstetter won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1915 for his research on plant pigments including chlorophyll , Hans Fischer also won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1930 for his research on chlorophyll, and Sir Robert Robinson also won the Nobel Prize in 1947 for his research on alkaloids. Barbara McClintock , a female biologist who won the Chemistry Prize and was a pioneer in maize genetics , won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her plant genetics research on the ‘discovery of mobile genetic elements.’
    • In the case of paleoanthropology (evolutionary anthropology) and evolutionary biology , Svante Febo won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2022 for discoveries about the genome of the extinct hominin and human evolution.

Some people think that only basic scientific achievements are awarded, but Nobel left a will to award the award to the person who made the most important discovery or invention , so applied science as well as inventions are treated as quite important.[16] There are quite a few winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for achievements in invention, and in particular, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, which seems to be the furthest thing from invention , is also for MRI (magnetic resonance tomography).[17] Awarded for development or CT (computed tomography)[18] The electrical engineer who developed the award received the award.

There are no mathematics awards, but there are many theories about this. It was because the mathematician named Yeta Mitagrae , who was not good with the Nobel , didn't want to see the Nobel Prize for mathematics, and the relationship between Mitagrae was not bad. It was a story that was all about it, but it is a story without a basis. The most reliable theory is that Nobel , an engineering engineer, was not made because mathematics was not a practical study, so it was not suitable for the Nobel Prize. Of course, there are several statues related to mathematics , including the Fields , Abel , and Wolf Awards . On the other hand, there are no mathematicians who have won the Nobel Prize, but there are John Nash for Economics and Roger Penrose, who won the physics award .

3.2. winner

The most suitable winner will be selected regardless of nationality. A maximum of two people can receive the Literature Prize, and a maximum of three people can receive the Peace Prize, and groups other than individuals can also receive the Peace Prize.

Also, only those who are alive can receive the award.[19] However, there are exceptional cases of receiving the award posthumously, the most well-known being Dag Hammarskjöld , the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year despite dying in a plane crash in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1961 while on his way to mediate the Congo civil war . There was a case in which the Nobel Committee selected Dr. Ralph M. Steinman, one of the winners of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, without knowing that he had died three days before the winner was announced. However, since the death was confirmed after the screening was completed and the winner was decided, it was recognized as an award. # In other words, even if the person confirmed as a winner suddenly passes away before the awards ceremony, the award will be awarded to the deceased.

It is said that if the award is not received within one year, it will be considered as a rejection of the award. And the winner must give an acceptance speech within six months. In other words, since the Nobel Prize is awarded on December 10th every year, the deadline is June 10th of the following year. If you do not give an acceptance speech, the prize money will not be awarded. Since there is no set format for the lecture, it is said that in addition to general lectures, speeches, videos, recordings, performances, and songs are also possible.

Every year, when Nobel Prize season comes, there is a debate over who is the candidate, but information on the final candidates and the award process can only be disclosed after 50 years and after an appropriateness review for disclosure. The media often quotes the odds from Ladbrokes, a British gambling site , when talking about who the candidate is.[20] Also, rather than deciding on a selectee and voting on it, the candidates are decided by having the judges write down who they think deserves the award this year. In 2011, just before the Swedish poet Thomas Tranströmer's award was announced, there were suspicions that his odds had fallen sharply at Ladbrokes and that information on the award had been leaked. However, as soon as the suspicion was raised, Swedish prosecutors launched an investigation, keeping information on candidates and winners under tight control. Security is in place.

Meanwhile, in the movie A Beautiful Mind , there is a scene in which the mathematician John Nash, who had been mentally unstable in his youth, was asked to give the Nobel Prize (economics prize) in advance to conduct a preliminary interview or listen to the circumstances. What this means is that the candidate's personality and normal judgment are actually taken into consideration.[21]

Additionally, just before the Nobel Prize winner is announced, the winner is contacted by phone to inform them in advance. The winner who received a phone call and suspected it was a prank call because it was completely kept secret was a poor person, and the winner who misunderstood it and thought there was some kind of award with a name similar to the Nobel Prize, or the person who received a call in the early morning due to time difference and complained about waking him up while he was sleeping ;[22] Some people have the misconception that ‘what kind of hidden camera is being taken?’ Abdulrazak Gurna, winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, and Korean novelist Han Kang, winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature, even misunderstood and thought, "Is this voice phishing ...?" when they first received the call . #

3.2.1. Nationality of the winner

The official records of Nobel Prize winners do not specify nationality/race, but only record the winner's place of birth and (if deceased) death. This is because there is Alfred Nobel's will to select the laureate without considering nationality in the first place , and on the other hand, the issue of the laureate's nationality is quite complicated. Each country has different principles for determining nationality , starting with territorialism / secularism , and there are frequent cases where awardees change their nationality during their career. It becomes complicated when issues of dual citizenship , unrecognized countries , the national identity of the awardee, and suzerain country- colonial relations are included.[23]
  • Due to the principle of this birthplace, there is a Nobel Prize winner, not a Korean who is registered as a birthplace. For example, an American, Born in Busan , was born in Busan in 1904, between his father, who worked in Busan Customs as a marine engineer , and a Japanese mother who grown soybeans and silkworms . When he was 8 years old, he went to Japan , and then went through the University of Data University in 1922 and devoted himself to research for 42 years .[24]
  • If the country to which the place of birth belongs changes due to a change in territory, the place name of the area at the time and the name of the country that ruled the area are listed first, and the current place name and the name of the country that ruled the area are listed in parentheses.[25] For example, Marie Curie 's birthplace was listed as Warsaw, Russian Empire (now Poland), and in the case of Hans Bette , whose hometown was Strasbourg , which was part of the German Empire at the time of his birth but is now part of France , his birthplace was Strassburg.[26] (now Strasbourg), Germany (now France), and Albert Schweitzer, who was born in what was now part of the German Empire but is now part of France, is also written as Kaysersberg, Germany (now France).
  • Charles Pederson above also wrote 'Pusan, Korea (now South Korea)' since 1904 was the time when the Korean Empire was still in existence. If you were born during the Japanese colonial period, it would have been written as Japanese Empire (now South Korea).[27]
  • For reference, South Korea uses South Korea, not Republic of Korea. Former President Kim Dae -jung and Han River are all marked.

For the above reasons, there is no official record of the Nobel Prize in the Nobel Prize. There is a strange struggle between the nations of the Nobel Prize, and various media from all over the world compete with national awards, but this is an unofficial record that the Nobel Committee is not recognized. It is the principle that the Nobel Prize winner does not record the nationality of the Nobel Prize winner, so if the winner's record is included in a particular state, it is the same as that it is a national nationality. Occasionally, it is misunderstood that it is misunderstood as a birthplace based on the fact that it records the birthplace, which is not true. The Nobel Committee does not publish any nationality or regional statistics.

However, anyway, it is informally aggregated, and in some ways, the IOC does not officially aggregate, but it is similar to the Olympic medal ranking by media around the world. The nationality in informal statistics tends to follow which country is recognized as a person. For example, Albert Einstein was a Swiss at the time of the water, but it was usually recognized as a German physicist, so it was included in the German award. Winners with severe nationality controversy, such as Mother Teresa, may be different for each media.[28] So in the first place, it is not the official count.

3.3. Winner announcement ceremony

The announcement of the winner takes place about two months before the awards ceremony and the first week of October. Starting with the physiology/medical award on Monday, the physics award on Tuesday and the Chemical Award on Wednesday, and then the literary award on Thursday, the Peace Prize on Friday, and the end of the economics on the next Monday.

The announcement is between 11 am and 1 pm on the basis of the Swedish Stockholm. Korean perspectives are at 6-8 pm in the evening.[29] Of course, it also provides YouTube live broadcasts. #

The winner is announced first in Swedish, which is the native language of the Nobel Prize Committee, and then in English so that people from other countries can understand it.[30] However, the Peace Prize, which is announced in Norway rather than Sweden, immediately announces the winners in English.

When announcing the winners, a portrait is drawn rather than a photo. It started in 2012, and the person in charge of this drawing is Niklas Elmehed, a Swedish illustrator. The painting materials are black acrylic and gold leaf . Usually, the picture is drawn only before the award is announced, and because of this, he is one of the first people, other than the judges, to know that year's Nobel Prize winner.

Every year, on December 10, it is awarded on the Nobel's date. However, the winners of each category arrive a few days before the Sweden (Peace winner Norway) and will give a lecture to celebrate the award (aka Nobel Lecture).

The award ceremony location is Stockholm, Sweden, but only the Peace Prize ceremony is held in Oslo, Norway. At the time Nobel lived, Norway and Sweden were merged, so after Nobel's death, Sweden and Norway were separated, and only the Peace Prize was awarded in Norway.

The dress code is strict, with men wearing tailcoats and women wearing evening dresses. However, it is possible to wear your country's traditional clothing, and depending on your beliefs, special clothing such as religious clothing or recycled clothing is also permitted. Case winners receive a medal and plaque from the King of Sweden/Norway.

After the awards ceremony, a commemorative dinner will be held and broadcast on TV in Sweden. The winners have a chance to meet the king and queen face-to-face, and the king has the privilege of speaking first in each conversation.

On December 11, there will be "Nobel Minds", where award winners will gather at the Stockholm Concert Hall to discuss their research achievements and future developments, which will also be broadcast on TV. This event is significant as it is a unique opportunity for the Nobel Prize winners of the year to gather together . Literary award winners may or may not attend the debate. For example, Han Kang, winner of the 2024 Literature Prize, did not attend.

After the official ceremony, the winners will attend an event on the Feast of Saint Lucy (December 13) held by their respective award organizations. This event has a much more relaxed atmosphere compared to the awards ceremony and banquet.

When all the events are completed, the winners return to their home countries (it is not an official event and most of the winners usually go through this process), give a lecture on the Nobel Prize, receive invitations from all walks of life, including the government, business, and academia, and advance human studies and peace. They will live by fulfilling their responsibilities as a person standing on the forefront of the world.

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of the above-mentioned events, including award ceremonies and banquets, were canceled and replaced with TV broadcasts, with winners receiving their awards at Swedish embassies or working organizations in each country. The Peace Prize awarded in Norway was also held online as the scale of the award ceremony was greatly reduced and a banquet was not held. Related article In 2021, the situation has improved significantly, so the awards returned to offline format.

Nobel Prize Medal in Physics
Nobel Prize Medal in Chemistry[31]

The Nobel Prize medal was issued by the Swedish Mint (Myntverket) in Eskilstuna, Sweden from 1902 to 2010.[32] It was produced in However, the company ceased to exist in 2011, and in 2011, the Swedish Nobel Prize medal made by this company was made together with Det Norske Myntverket (Mint of Norway) in Norway, which also made the Nobel Peace Prize medal. The following year, in May 2012, a contract was signed with a company called Svenska Medalj AB in Stockholm , Sweden to produce Nobel Prize medals, and this company produces all Nobel Prize medals except the Nobel Peace Prize.

In the case of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and Nobel Prize in Literature, the winner's name is engraved on the back, while the Nobel Peace Prize and Nobel Prize in Economics medals have the winner's name engraved on the border. Also, as shown in the photo above, the science and literature awards all have the same front shape, but the peace and economics awards are different from the rest.

Of course, it is impossible to quantitatively evaluate the monetary value of a Nobel Prize medal. However, there have been limited transactions at auction. The Nobel Prize given by James Dewey Watson in response to his hardships was sold for $4.76 million, and the Nobel Prize given by Dmitry Muratov to raise funds for relief of refugees from the war in Ukraine was sold for $100 million. #

3.6. reward

Even if Nobel left a considerable amount of money, his legacy is bound to continue to decline as long as the Nobel Prize continues to be awarded. Therefore, the Nobel Foundation is carrying out various projects based on Nobel's legacy . Through these continued investments, the Nobel Prize Committee is said to be expanding its budget. In 1949, the prize money paid per person was reduced once, but since then, the prize money has been continuously increased, reaching $1.4 million per person (approximately 1.813 billion won as of 2023). It is said that in 2012, as stock market volatility increased and stable supply of prize money became difficult, it was reduced to $1.1 million per person. Related Articles Currently, approximately 11 million Swedish Krona , or $ 1.15 million (approximately 1,730.25 million won as of 2026) is paid.

If the Nobel Prize money is received by a Korean national, the full amount can be received without tax in accordance with Article 18, Paragraph 2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act . There is controversy over whether the Nobel Prize in Economics is a Nobel Prize or not, but the same applies to the Swedish Central Bank since it is included in foreign governments and other foreign organizations. # The authority of the Nobel Prize can be seen in the fact that the name of the prize is included in the law.

Of course, the prize money can be said to be incidental because receiving the Nobel Prize alone brings tremendous honor and various types of support from all walks of life. Scholars who have achieved the level of Nobel Prize winning work are rarely economically unstable, and their research results often generate astronomical amounts of profit.[33] It has a stronger meaning as a recognized honor than a prize money. Rather, after receiving the award, you can receive more support from all walks of life than the prize money.[34]

6. record

  • Group that won multiple awards
  • The person who won the 2nd crown
    • Linus Pauling ( USA ) -Chemical Award, Peace Prize: The only person in the world is the only scientific award and a peace award. Pauling was a single award, unlike other two crowns, and could have been three crowns. Pauling was an anti-nuclear peace activist, and because he could not attend the overseas seminar because of the prohibition of departure from the US government, he did not see the X-ray photos of the DNA and gave a three-way structure to Watson-Creek. Even though the triple spiral structure itself violated the theory of Pauling itself, it could not realize it until the end, so it might have been the owner of the only three crowns if I could see the X -ray picture, the decisive evidence of the double spiral structure.
    • Marie Curie ( France ) - Physics Prize, Chemistry Prize: The first person in history to win the Nobel Prize twice and the only person to win science prizes in multiple fields. Her husband, Pierre Curie, also shared the Physics Prize in 1903, her eldest daughter and son-in-law received the Chemistry Prize in 1935, and her second son-in-law received the Peace Prize on behalf of UNICEF in 1965. Eve, the second daughter, joked about this, saying, "I am a disgrace to my family," citing the reason that her father, mother, older sister, brother-in-law, and even her husband had all won the Nobel Prize, but she was the only one who could not. In fact, she is also a best-selling author and famous pianist who has received several awards and decorations.
    • John Bardeen (USA) - Physics Prize 2 times: in 1956 for his research on semiconductors and the invention of the transistor , and in 1972 for his research on superconductivity .
    • Frederick Sanger ( United Kingdom ) - Chemistry Prize 2 times: in 1958 for the nucleotide sequence of insulin and in 1980 for research on nucleic acid sequencing.
    • Barry Sharpless ( USA ) - Chemistry Award twice: in 2001 for asymmetric catalyzed oxidation reactions and in 2022 for click chemistry.
  • Family (Two Top) Award
  • Oldest/Youngest Winner[36]
  • those who declined the award[37]
    • Jean -Paul Sartre -Literary Award in 1964. "The Nobel Prize is too biased to the West and the East has not received much. Also, when I receive the Nobel Prize, I reject my award because my actions and support remarks are replaced by the Nobel Prize." He also asked the Nobel Prize committee to be excluded from the list of candidates and warned that he would not receive a prize even if he was awarded. Nevertheless, the Nobel Prize Committee selected him as the winner of the year.[38]
    • Le Duc Toh - 1973 Peace Prize. North Vietnam's Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was jointly selected as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize with then-US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for his contribution to the end of the Vietnam War, but he declined the award on the grounds that peace had not yet come to his country.
  • People who tried to refuse the award but ended up winning it
    • George Bernard Shaw - Literature Prize 1925. He initially tried not to accept it, but after receiving it, he sarcastically said, 'Only a devil wearing a human mask can make a Nobel Prize' . As he kept receiving letters close to begging, such as donating the prize money or adopting him, the show was also under great stress.
    • Richard Feynman - Physics Prize, 1965. He didn't like being famous, so he tried to refuse the award, but decided to accept it after hearing the reporter say, " If you do something like that, you'll become more famous. "
    • Bob Dylan - 2016 Literature Award. He was the first singer to be selected as the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, but after the winner was announced, he was not contacted at all about it, nor did he express any particular opinion. There was controversy over whether he was refusing the award because of this. Then he broke his silence and announced that he had accepted the Nobel Prize . However, he did not attend the award ceremony in person, but the U.S. Ambassador to Sweden attended and read Bob Dylan's acceptance speech and then accepted the Nobel Prize on his behalf.
  • People who were denied or blocked from receiving an award but eventually received it
    • Richard Johan Kuhn - Prize in Chemistry 1938
    • Adolf Friedrich Johann Butenand - Prize in Chemistry 1939
    • Gerhard Domark - Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 1939
      • The Nazi German government strongly condemned the selection of Karl von Osietzky as the winner of the 1935 Peace Prize and banned Germans from winning the Nobel Prize, so even if these people wanted to receive the prize, they could not at the time. Of course, the ban was lifted as soon as World War II ended, and they were all awarded in 1946.
      • In fact , Otto Hahn, the 1944 Laureate in Chemistry, almost got into it. The Royal Academy was embarrassed that the Nobel Committee had selected a German again and decided to postpone the official announcement for a year. After the Nazis were defeated a year later, it was awarded as a symbol of "Now even Germans can receive the prize!" Don't count as "rejected" because you didn't hear the presentation itself.
    • Boris Pasternak - Literature Prize, 1958. He was selected as the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature for Doctor Zhivago , but declined the award when he came under pressure from the Soviet government and the Writers' Alliance because it contained content criticizing the Russian Revolution . However, the Nobel Prize organizers did not consider this to be a rejection, so they put the award on hold. In the end, after his achievements were officially recognized, including the publication of Doctor Zhivago in the Soviet Union, his son received the award on his behalf. Therefore, I received it.
  • People who were refused or blocked from receiving awards and ultimately did not receive them
    • Karl von Osietzky - Peace Prize, 1935. At the time of selection, he was imprisoned by the Nazi German government, so it was impossible to receive the award, and he died in a concentration camp in 1938 without receiving an award.
    • Liu Xiaobo - 2010 Peace Prize. He was selected as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, but the award was rejected by the Chinese government. The Chinese government even put Liu Xiaobo and his family under house arrest, preventing them from receiving awards. The Nobel Committee criticized the Chinese government's dictatorial behavior by awarding the prize directly to the empty chair prepared for him. This is the first case of an award being forcibly rejected and awarded to an empty chair since the 1935 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Karl von Ossiecki, during the Nazi Germany era . And the Chinese government took economic retaliation by banning the import of Norwegian salmon.

7. controversies and incidents

  • Racial discrimination controversy (in the 1901-1950s)
    At the time, the Nobel Committee testified that the Nobel Prize is still early for Asians, and the controversy raised by accusing the Nobel Committee members' racist perceptions .

    In 1926, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine selected the winners on the theme of explanation. Finally, two candidates of Yamagi and Ichikawa research team and Johannes Phoiologer were confronted with each other, and Johannes Phogwero insisted on the 'parasites causing the nation' based on the experimental study of the parasites , S.CARCINOMA, but this was at that time Yamagi and Ichika and Ichika's 'stimuli'. It was the result of conflicting with research. Some scientists were controversial against Phoevier's arguments, but in 1926, the Nobel Prize was awarded by the Nobel Prize. In 1937, however, Phoevier's research was completely wrong.[40]

    In relation to this, Folke Henschen, a Swede who was a member of the Nobel Committee at the time in 1926, attended the 9th International Cancer Conference held in Kyoto in 1966 and testified that “the reason Yamagi/Ichikawa did not receive the Nobel Prize was due to the racist perception of the Nobel Committee members at the time, such as comments such as “It is too early for the Nobel Prize for Asians.” Until now, there were only rumors about Asians in the Nobel Committee. Because the reality of the (actually Japanese ) discrimination theory was finally revealed through internal reporting, a great deal of controversy arose. Because of this, Yamagi and Ichikawa were mentioned as one of the victims of the racial/ethnic discrimination practices of Westerners , including the Nobel Committee at the time , and were also cited as an example of a scientist who unfortunately missed out on winning the Nobel Prize.[41]

  • Controversy over ideological discrimination (in the 1950s and 1990s)
    At that time, the Nobel Prize was controversial that the countries in the government were easier to receive.

    For example, in comparison with the Nobel Prize and the first world pro -Korean awards, such as the Nobel Prize and the US and Europe, which were awarded by the second world's communist characters, between 1950 and 1990, during the Cold War , the first world is several times more. No matter how the second world was relatively inferior, it was common sense that if the actual scientific development was different in proportion to the number of Nobel Prize -winning, the two forces were not able to establish the confrontation of the two forces , and in the end, some of the science research facilities, funds, and public relations, of course, in various ways of the Western camps. It is claimed that it was inevitable.

    However, there is a argument that the number of Nobel Prize -winning and the confrontation between the Nobel Prize is not correlated. The invention and discovery of the Nobel Prize in the first place is very rare for the country to be completely monopolized and spreads rapidly throughout the world. On the contrary, there are many cases where there is a country that is invented and a country that makes money. For this reason, even if one side has 100 Nobel Prizes and the other is one Nobel Prize, the military and politically confrontation can be widened. In fact, there are currently four Nobel Prize winners in China and 390 Nobel Prize winners in the United States, but the two forces are currently forming a confrontation as a G2 . In addition, China has almost equally confronted with the United States, and no one regards the Nobel Prize selection against China because the number of Nobel Prize is much less.

  • Controversy over local arrangement
    Peace and literary awards are controversial because they deliberately tend to be more localized and considered. In particular, the Peace Prize is a controversial award unlike other Nobel Prizes. Fundamentally, the award on the theme of ' peace ' is associated with the interests and political issues of each country , so unlike other Nobel Prize, the evaluation of the winner's achievements depends on the position of each member.

    In fact, there is a popular belief that literary awards in the East Asian region are given out every 10 years. There is also some agreement that literary awards have disadvantages depending on nationality and language used .[42] . On the other hand, there are cases where the award is not given due to issues with the author's nationality or political inclination . Tolstoy , who was the strongest candidate in the first round, was eliminated for advocating Christian anarchism against Russians, who have historically had an uneasy relationship with Sweden, and Borges , a great writer in South America, did not receive the award due to controversy over his support of fascist and dictatorial regimes.

  • Sexual assault incident of the Swedish Academy
    In 2018, the scholarship was suspected of sexually assaulting 18 women by the husband of Katarina Prodenton, one of the Lifeters of the Swedish Academy, who was in charge of the Nobel Literature Awards , and the scholar's ripples were suspected of sexually assaulting 18 women . In addition, he has suspicion of sexually harassing the Swedish royal woman Victoria and leaking the list of Nobel Prize winners.

    As a result, the academic institute was paralyzed so that it could not proceed with the internal screening, and the literary award was canceled. The cancellation of the relevant article awards was only in the crisis of all human beings, such as World War II , and it showed a statue caused by sexual scandals. However, the number of winners was co -winning in 2019.

8. Other awards comparable to the Nobel Prize

‘Nobel Prize of the ○○ world’[43] Other awards that are often compared to the Nobel Prize include the awards below.

      • Golden Bear Award , Palme d'Or Award , Golden Lion Award - the highest awards at the three major film festivals. The so-called Nobel Prize of the film world.
      • Ernst von Siemens Music Award -Award in the field of composition, command and performance. Compared to the Paula Music Award, which covers popular music, the water range is relatively narrow, but it is often mentioned as a Nobel Prize for classical music in the classical music world.
      • Andersen Prize - A prize for children's literature organized by the International Council on Books for Children and Young Adults in Denmark . The so-called Nobel Prize in Children's Literature.

  • Award that overlaps with the Nobel Prize[48]

9. etc

  • Although many of the Nobel Prize winners in the science/economics categories are academics affiliated with universities , Bell Laboratories and IBM have produced many Nobel Prize winners as private companies. There are eight winners from Bell Labs and six Nobel Prize winners from IBM, and their achievements are all representative of modern science. Of course, not all awardees achieved the award-winning research achievements while affiliated with their respective institutions. For example , Leona Esaki worked at IBM when she received the award, but she achieved her award-winning achievements while working at Sony .
  • On the other hand, among the examples of Nobel Prize winners produced by private companies, Koichi Tanaka , who belonged to Shimadzu Manufacturing Company , left a record of being the only Nobel Prize winner in history to receive the award with only a bachelor's degree among all Nobel Prize winners in the field of science .
  • Unlike the past, when the 80's winners have entered the oldest axis, as the average life expectancy increases, the winners of the 90s and over have been coming out after the 2010s. In addition, the winners of the winners have risen, and most of them are in their 50s and 60s.
  • Eugene Garfield, who laid the foundations of academic citation analysis and scientometrics in 1965, found that early Nobel laureates published 5 times more papers than their fellow researchers, and received 30 to 50 times more citations than their peers. It was found that he had authored one or more masterpiece-level papers belonging to the top 0.1% in the number of citations in the field. Even today, analysis to predict the Nobel Prize award continues, centering on the authors of papers that have been cited more than 2,000 times. #
  • Because it is an award with such strong authority, the university that the recipient of this award is from quickly emerges as a prestigious university .[51] Naturally, the winner is treated as the most famous person from the university.
  • The 'Nobel Center' is planned to be built in Stockholm, Sweden as a museum-type facility that will comprehensively handle records and exhibitions of past Nobel Prize winners. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 and be completed in 2031 .
  • The Ig Nobel Prize is a parody of the Nobel Prize . This award is given to funny or redundant research.[52]
[평화상] Nobel Peace Prize Limited.[2] The year in parentheses is the year of the first award.[3] It is one of several royal academies, but unlike science, the official name is Svenska Akademien, which does not have the royal meaning of Kungliga (Royal).[4] The media usually reports that the ' Swedish Academy ' decided the winners, but this is a misrepresentation, and as explained above, the organizations that select the winners are different for each field. ‘Swedish Academy’ refers to the ‘Swedish Academy’, and ‘Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’ is translated to ‘Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’. Perhaps that is why there seem to be many cases where this cannot be discerned.[5] Nobel originally thought that having a powerful weapon like dynamite would reduce wars and maintain peace , but the result was only a lethal weapon that killed more people.[6] It was a lot of money at the end of the 19th century. When President Kim Dae-jung won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000 , a domestic broadcast estimated the current value in won and said it was about 221.5 billion won.[7] In the first place, when Alfred Nobel 's brother Rudbig Nobel died in 1888, he wrote an article that Alfred Nobel died in a newspaper, and the Nobel called the Nobel ' Death Merchant ', and there was a claim that the shocked Nobel was worried about his post -death image. However, the original misleading of the misinformation is not found, and there is no such story on the Nobel Prize official website .[8] In an interview held when the prize was being established, Solman said, 'It was fun to be cursed so much,' and sarcastically criticized the various sabotage, swearing, and defamation carried out by Nobel's relatives.[9] The Swedish krona , the currency of Sweden, is minted and issued.[10] Therefore, the Nobel Prize in Economics is not awarded by the Nobel Foundation, so the Nobel Foundation does not pay the prize money.[11] Also, at the time Nobel left his will about the Nobel Prize, it appears that he did not consider economics to be a field for awarding awards because economics had not yet developed into a systematic discipline. And even if economics had existed as a discipline during Nobel's lifetime, it cannot be guaranteed that economics would have been designated as an award field considering Nobel's interests.[12] The official name of the Nobel Prize awarded in the field of ' Physiology or Medicine ' is the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and its Korean translations are <Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine>, <Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine>, There are various awards, including the <Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine>, <Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine>, and <Nobel Prize in Medicine>. Meanwhile, recently, the media tends to use the term Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine rather than the term Nobel Prize in Medicine, and this term also makes the general public think, "There must be a medical field called <Physiology or Medicine>. And it seems to be an award for that field." Therefore, it is difficult to view this as a translation that can help a correct understanding of the award field.[13] Moreover, in the field of earth science, there is no award with the same authority as the Nobel Prize, such as the Fields Medal or Abel Prize in mathematics, so there are voices of regret and criticism about the exclusion of earth science from the field of Nobel Prize awards . In particular, geology is a fundamental discipline of earth science and is a field that is no less important than physics, chemistry, biology & medicine, etc., so there are strong calls for a new prestigious award.[14] Additionally, although astrophysics is a field of physics, it is also a field of astronomy, so the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded for achievements related to astrophysics can be seen as being awarded for achievements in the field of astronomy.[15] At the time Nobel left his will, physiology was a general term for various fields of biology. About this in the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine document.[16] Even in the case of science, in the early days, more emphasis was placed on practical science. In particular, the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to experimental physicists or inventors in the early days, and theoretical physics was cold until Max Planck received the prize for quantum theory in 1918.[17] 2003 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Paul Rotover and Peter Mansfield[18] 1979 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Alan Cormack and Godfrey Hounsfield[19] A representative example of someone who accomplished something worthy of winning the Nobel Prize, but is thought to have been unable to receive it due to his early death, is Dmitri Mendeleev , who contributed greatly to creating the periodic table during World War I. These include Henry Gwynne Geoffrey Moseley, who died at the Battle of Gallipoli . There were also cases where he would have unconditionally received the award if he had survived, such as Ryoji Totsuka, a professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo , who was the teacher and co-researcher of Takaaki Kajita , winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics. This is because he had already passed away at the time of the award, so only other co-researchers received it.[20] Ladbrokes has a history of winning the prizes of Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk in 2006 and Svetlana Alexievich in 2015 .[21] Of course, as in the case of Fritz Haber, winner of the award in 1918 , there are also views that if it is just a citation and the achievements are great, the award can be received even if there are problems with personality.[22] Nobel Prize winners living in North America are often contacted late at night or early in the morning due to time differences.[23] In fact, many Nobel laureates have dual citizenship, have changed their nationality more than once, or have been born or worked during a colonized country.[24] related articles[25] This is often the case among German award winners. If you are from an area east of the Oder-Neisse line or in an area such as Alsace-Lorraine . Not everyone caught in this case is German.[26] 'Strasburg', the German name for Strasbourg[27] However, Kim Dae- jung, who was born during the Japanese colonial period in 1924, is written as Korea (now South Korea), not Japanese Empire (now South Korea).[28] For this reason, the official website separately stated that the recipient's place of residence at the time of receiving the award was India.[29] The literary award is announced at the latest local time, 1 p.m., that is, 8 p.m. Korean time.[30] Because of this method, when Han Kang was first mentioned as the winner in the 2024 Literature Prize announcement, many people did not notice it because it was in Swedish, but only understood it when they said 'Korea' and 'Han Kang' in English. At the time of the announcement, a live reaction video and related reports from Minumsa’s YouTube channel .[31] same as Physics[32] Although it is not state-owned, it is a company that has made Swedish coins for over 1,000 years .[33] If you achieve the level of achievement to win a Nobel Prize, you are likely to already be a university professor in the science/literature field, and even if you are not a professor, Nobel Prize winners in any field are flooded with love calls asking them to become professors at prestigious universities around the world. At this time, the person is not appointed as an assistant professor or associate professor, but as a full professor receiving tenure . And in the case of literature awards, Han Kang 's royalties from books sold after winning the Nobel Prize exceed the prize money.[34] Even in advanced countries that invest a lot of money in science and technology, the reality is that the majority of professors and researchers dealing with basic science are under pressure from research funds. However, if you win the Nobel Prize, you will easily receive support from the government, schools, and companies, and you will be able to choose your research field relatively freely.[35] Because they are out of wedlock , they have different last names.[36] The date is based on December 10th, when the awards ceremony is held.[37] Although the party rejected it, it is officially included in the list of past selectors. In the case of Nikola Tesla, according to claims by Reuters at the time in 1915, he could have received the award jointly with Thomas Edison, but he said, "I will not receive it jointly." Although other physicists have won the award, the Nobel Foundation said, "I do not want to receive the award." “So does it make sense to exclude him from the award?” he strongly denied, and there was no actual evidence to support it.[38] However, according to the memoir Minnen, Bara Minnen, written by Lars Gylensten, a Nobel Prize at the time, Sartre asked the Nobel Prize committee to receive only prizes in 1975, 11 years later, but the committee refused. Do it. # But this claim remains a question. In 1975, Sartre had a money that was already unfortunate due to books and lectures. If you have a lot of money, you may be greedy for a large amount of money even if you have a lot of money, but Sartre is unlikely to be greedy for the prize even by giving up the image she has accumulated as a person who has been actively voiced on social problems until he dies. Therefore, some people speculate that it was a prizes of a scammer who heard this worsening of Sartre's health.[39] Rounding to three decimal places.[40] However, the Nobel Prize was not canceled.[41] In fact, Jean Paul Sartre , who was selected as the Nobel Prize winner in 1964, refused to win the award, leaving that the Nobel Prize was too biased to the West.[42] In this case, rather than regional discrimination, it is something that cannot be helped due to the special nature of the field of literature. For example, no matter how amazing an inscription you create in Korean, its flavor will naturally decrease during the process of translating it into English or another language. This problem is especially severe in the case of verse .[43] Example: Nobel Prize in Mathematics[44] In particular, the Fields Awards, Abel Prize, and Fritzker Awards are awarded to the Nobel Prize without the relevant sector. At the time of the award, you will enjoy the great glory of the Nobel Prize. Compared to the world's prestigious universities , it is also a reference to how much the Nobel Prize and the university were suspicious of these awards.[45] Although the Fields Medal is the most prestigious, it has an age limit of 40, so if it is given to young leaders in the mathematical community, the awards given to older masters in the field, like the Nobel Prize, are closer to the Abel Prize and Wolff Prize . In a way, it can be seen that they complement each other's shortcomings.[46] Andrew Wiles is the only recipient of the award after the age of 40 ( he was 44 at the time of receiving the award) for proving Fermat's Last Theorem .[47] Since the Fields Medal does not have much prize money and has a condition of being under 40 years of age, there is a tendency to recognize the Abel Prize as the Nobel Prize of mathematics, which does not have such a condition.[48] It is an award whose fields overlap with the Nobel Prize. Therefore, it is not possible to surpass the Nobel Prize stronghold.[49] In physics and chemistry, it is awarded next to the Nobel Prize .[50] Korean awardees include Professor Lee Sang-yeop and Professor Park Nam-gyu.[51] Excluding the Peace Prize, the winner's field in particular shows tremendous strength.[52] Some people have won both the Ig Nobel Prize and the Nobel Prize .
