The young Alfred Nobel - an explosive character... Alfred Nobel - a man of sheer genius of the 'Nobel Prizes' fame, and an explosive character! It is over 140 years since a young Swede named Alfred Nobel invented dynamite. He didn’t have the greatest start to his legendary career. His first laboratory blew up in 1864, killing his brother and four of his assistants. Enough to stop a lesser man. Clever lawyers got him off a murder charge, but he was fined for making illegal explosives. Nobel later tried to tame the new explosive, nitroglycerine - a notoriously unpredictable, unstable, volatile oily liquid - knock it or drop it and it blows up! Nobel invented a clever mechanism for containing and triggering the explosive and started selling it all round the world. But, however, he didn’t know that it aged! And became even more unstable. Contributor's Note During the explosive period of his great life.
