Alfred Nobel, the namesake of the well known Nobel prize for people have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind, Invented afew things in his life, but His biggest accomplishment was that he was the first person to invent dynamite in 1866. When he was doing his testing of this explosive he adopted a safety practice that is still used to this day.
Most people will know what this was if they have ever watched a movie or tv show before.
This is the practice of blowing a horn to warn anyone in the area 1 minute before the explosion,
For many years people have wondered why he chose a horn to warn people, rather than a loud church bell.
They wondered this because in 1866 mechanical horns needed to be transported by trailer and were extremely expensive and impractical to operate, while loud church bells were being sold everywere as part of the christion revolution.
In the last few years a group of award winning scientists have been studying this case to try figure out why he made this crucial decision and last year they finally worked it out, the answer was so simple it shocked everyone.

A public sub for those experiencing the phenomenon of the Retcon Effect, or Real-Life Retroactive Continuity, sometimes known as the Mandela Effect. This sub is meant to be a place to discuss the effect under the presupposition that for whatever reason, *it is really happening,* at the exclusion of the theory of Confabulation. [Please sort by HOT to find the sticky post for additional information.]
I was researching Mandela Effect’s on celebrity deaths and any connections to premature obituaries, and then found out that Nobel never was called a merchant of death when alive or for decades after, he never created Nobel Prize awards in response to it.
The story was made up by a biographer in the 1950s, or at least he unsourced the claim. Additionally, there are no newspaper articles whatsoever with the premature obituary in record, or any discussing it until the 1950s. It also appears that the Prizes were not created in a reaction to dynamite and its use in warfare, i.e., to rehabilitate his name with the public, as Nobel was proud and believed it would end war.
