How high is the threshold for the Nobel Prize?

Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden. He was an outstanding chemist, engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur. He obtained 355 technological invention patents throughout his life and accumulated huge wealth. When he was about to die, Nobel made a will: "Please turn my property into a fund, and use the interest from this fund as a bonus every year to reward those who have made good contributions to mankind in the previous year." Then. How to win a Nobel Prize?

In accordance with Nobel's will, the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize are assessed by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Physiology or Medicine Prize is assessed by the Royal Karolinska Institute of Sweden (Karolinska Institute), and the Literature Prize is assessed by the Swedish Academy of Sciences. The Peace Prize is assessed by the Faculty of Arts and selected by the Norwegian Parliament. The Economic Award is evaluated by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Each award-awarding unit has a Nobel Committee composed of five people responsible for the selection process. It can be seen that the threshold for the Nobel Prize is very high.

Winning the Nobel Prize is not a matter of training, nor is it a matter of liking. The Nobel Prize must be awarded to a person who has made outstanding contributions in a certain field, or who has made a major discovery or breakthrough in a certain area. These people are the best of the best. They must have a profound theoretical foundation and practical ability, and most of them will be leaders in the field of basic research.

The process of selecting laureates begins in the early autumn of the previous year when the award is given. The award-issuing unit first sends invitations to those institutions that have the ability to propose candidates in accordance with the Nobel Prize Charter. The selection is based on professional ability and international reputation; self-nominated candidates are not eligible for selection. Nominations of candidates must be notified in writing to the relevant committee before February 1 of the year in which the award is decided.

The award is open to all persons regardless of nationality, race, religious beliefs or ideology. The same winner may win multiple times without restriction.
