    The best trivia about the Nobel Prize is why there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics. I guess Nobel’s wife cheated on him with a mathematician, and in retaliation, he snubbed the entire field of study.

    Oh no. I checked snopes, and my story is an urban legend. But I will continue to spread it, because any story that involves Chemists, Mathematicians, and Adultery is worth retelling.
