Seriously. If anything that is the stated purpose of the creator of it after contributing to so much violence with dynamite.
For Harvard this is intensely stupid.
- mikeash 9y agoOne might ask: are humans too stupid to justify having a Nobel Prize in physics?
- tossaway1 9y agoDoesn't look like Greenspun has any affiliation with Harvard. They just host his blog for some reason.
- megaman22 9y agoPeople always bring up dynamite with Nobel, like dynamite was a significant war-fighting weapon, rather than something that spurred tbe construction of the infrasructure that made modern civilization possible. It's Bofors, and it's place among the Victorian era heavy arms cartel with Krupp and Armstrong-Vickers that he was ashamed of.
- abritinthebay 9y agoThe reason people bring it up is Nobel’s own writing on the subject. I think he’d know.
