Alfred+Nobel

He's the one that made the dynamites. Yup, those things that go *boom explode*.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born in October 21, 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden. He died in December 10, 1896 in Sanremo, Italy. He was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator and armaments manufacturer. That last thing he did when he died was using his enormous fortune to institute the Nobel prizes. The nobel prizes as well, were named after him

Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr, it became safer and more convenient to handle, and using this mixture, in 1867 he made the dynamite. Nobel demonstrated his explosive for the first time that year, at a quarry in Redhill, Surrey England.

The invention of dynamites made it so that the workers wouldn't have trouble "exploding" things up. Since exploding large quantities of space was really time wasting, and it often resulted to injuries, the workers use dynamite to prevent the incidents and use the least time possible. Though there were other reasons listed, the main reason was to "Get rid of space". The impact caused by the birth of the dynamite was extreme, it was soon spread all over, though there were no listings of which country used it, a "mass" number of countries used it, so assuming it would be over a hundred countries used it.

Alfred died by old age, in Sanremo, Italy at the age of 63, he died in his bed.
