Don't forget Alfred, the original Nobel: http://nobelprize.org/alfred_nobel/ Where would we be without dynamite? Hook and line is soooo slow! [Mandatory paddling content: "I hasten to say that my own subject is a very minor ripple compared to Rutherford's. It may seem rather like a cyclone when Sir John Eccles arrives from Australia. But in neurophysiology we have none of those vast tidal waves of discovery which shake the world to its foundations and which have such incalculable consequences for good or evil. "Research in neurophysiology is much more like paddling a small canoe on a mountain river. The river which is fed by many distant springs carries you along all right though often in a peculiar direction. You have to paddle quite hard to keep afloat. And sooner or later some of your ideas are upset and are carried downstream like an upturned canoe."
