Because the nobel peace price is seperste from the scientific prices. The scientific prices are nominated by swedish academia, the peace price is nominated by the norweighan parlament.
Are you aware of Richard Feynman's view of the Nobel Prize? He title a chapter, "Alfred Nobel's Other Mistake". 9:10 I went to Wikipedia's entry, "Atmosphere of Earth," and confirmed what I'd always thought: our atmosphere is about 75% to 80% nitrogen by number of molecules, not 20%. 12:00 The only catalyst I know anything about is the carbon nucleus (and nitrogen nucleus) in the CNO process in stars. 13:20 The Axis were the WWII enemies. The enemies in WWI were called the Central Powers.
I think the video skipped over what I'd consider the main effect, which was the quadrupling of the World population & hastening the depletion of our planet's limited resources.
This was really good! Never conflate knowledge with wisdom! “Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.” Love that!
That was a welcome and refreshing change from the subjects you normally cover. Not an endorsement for you to abandon the material you hitherto fore shared.
The comments really disappoint me this time, i just about cringed when he said air is about 20% Nitrogen when in fact it is 79%… This should be common knowledge and apparently very few in the comment section caught this.. And worse still i would hope this would have been caught before the video went online..
'Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad,' I think I might carve that onto a plaque over the interior door of my house, so I have something wise to look at before I face the world in the morning, or just walk outside to pick tomatoes. I really like that! And yes, perhaps a nice bruschetta, but certainly not a fruit salad for a tomato!
So the nucleus of the Atom with orbiting electrons does not resemble the sun with orbiting planets. Interesting you think there is no resemblance.!! Monoculture and tilling made nitrogen mandatory. Natural growing needs very little input. !!
An excellent, complex, presentation from the man who may be the best science explainer since Carl Sagan. That said, "The Axis" was a WWII alliance. In WWI, Germany was the major member of "The Central Powers." Nothing to do, I realize, with chemistry or Dr. Kincade's overarching point, but an historical matter hopefully worth pointing out.
He invented dynamite, the first safe to handle high explosive, that revolutionized the mining industry. Its use in war has been extremly limited because its still volatile and impractical as a weapon. Nobel however lost his brother to his invention, in a lab accident. This acident is cited as the reason Nobel became a philantropist millonaire.
Yes, but he also save billions. It is estimated that 1/5 nitrogen in your body is the result of the chemical process he helped develop. As responsible for feeding the world's billions as are insecticides and Agricultural genetics.
Nobel himself wasnt the greatest... creating TNT... why chase the Nobel prize? ..do something good enough that you can start your own prize with your own name attached
And Nobel peace prize is political. Period. The guy who invented ddt pestiside was given nobel prize and the activists guy who fought to ban dtt is also given peace prize. So nobel prize is also a joke in addition to being political.
Here are some examples of how non-contradictory infinitesimal/monadological frameworks could potentially resolve paradoxes or contradictions in chemistry: 1) Molecular Chirality/Homochirality Paradoxes Contradictory: Classical models struggle to explain the origin and consistent preference for one chiral handedness over another in biological molecules like amino acids and sugars. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Infinitesimal Monadic Protolife Transitions dsi/dt = κ Σjk Γijk(n)[sj, sk] + ξi Pref(R/S) = f(Φn) Modeling molecular dynamics as transitions between monadic protolife states si based on infinitesimal relational algebras Γijk(n) that depend on specific geometric monad configurations n. The homochiral preference could emerge from particular resonance conditions Φn favoring one handedness. 2) Paradoxes in Reaction Kinetics Contradictory: Transition state theory and kinetic models often rely on discontinuous approximations that become paradoxical at certain limits. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Infinitesimal Thermodynamic Geometries dG = Vdp - SdT (Gibbs free energy infinitesimals) κ = Ae-ΔG‡/RT (Arrhenius smoothly from monadic infinities) Using infinitesimal calculus to model thermodynamic quantities like Gibbs free energy dG allows kinetic parameters like rate constants κ to vary smoothly without discontinuities stemming from replacing finite differences with true infinitesimals. 3) Molecular Structure/Bonding Paradoxes Contradictory: Wave mechanics models struggle with paradoxes around the nature of chemical bonding, electron delocalization effects, radicals, etc. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Pluralistic Quantum Superposition |Ψ> = Σn cn Un(A) |0> (superposed monadic perspectives) Un(A) = ΠiΓn,i(Ai) (integrated relational properties) Representing molecular electronic states as superpositions of monadic perspectives integrated over relational algebraic properties Γn,i(Ai) like spins, positions, charges, etc. could resolve paradoxes by grounding electronic structure in coherent relational pluralisms. 4) Molecular Machines/Motor Paradoxes Contradictory: Inefficiencies and limitations in synthetic molecular machines intended to mimic biological molecular motors like ATP synthase, kinesin, etc. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Nonlinear Dissipative Monadologies d|Θ>/dt = -iH|Θ> + LΓ|Θ> (pluralistic nonet mechanics) LΓ = Σn ζn |Un> rather than isolated molecular wavefunctions, where infinitesimal monadic sink operators LΓ account for open-system energy exchanges, could resolve paradoxes around efficiency limits. The key theme is using intrinsically pluralistic frameworks to represent molecular properties and dynamics in terms of superpositions, infinitesimals, monadic configurations, and relational algebraic structures - rather than trying to force classically separable approximations. This allows resolving contradictions while maintaining coherence with quantum dynamics and thermodynamics across scales.
Here are 4 more examples of how infinitesimal/monadological frameworks could resolve contradictions in chemistry: 5) The Particle/Wave Duality of Matter Contradictory: The paradoxical wave-particle dual behavior of matter, exemplified by the double-slit experiment, defies a consistent ontological interpretation. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Monadic Perspectival Wavefunction Realizations |Ψ> = Σn cn Un(r,p) Un(r,p) = Rn(r) Pn(p) Model matter as a superposition of monadic perspectival realizations Un(r,p) which are products of wavefunctional position Rn(r) and momentum Pn(p) distributions. This infinitesimal plurality avoids the paradox by allowing matter to behave holistically wave-like and particle-like simultaneously across monads. 6) Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle Contradictory: The uncertainty principle ΔxΔp ≥ h/4π implies an apparent paradoxical limitation on precise simultaneous measurement of position and momentum. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Complementary Pluriverse Observables Δx Δp ≥ h/4π Δx = Σi |xiP - xP| (deviations across monadic ensembles) xP = ||P (pluriverse-valued perspective on x) Reinterpret uncertainties as deviations from pluriverse-valued observables like position xP across an ensemble of monadic perspectives, avoiding paradox by representing uncertainty intrinsically through the perspectival complementarity. 7) The Concept of the Chemical Bond Contradictory: Phenomonological models of bonds rely paradoxically on notions like "electronic charge clouds" without proper dynamical foundations. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Infinitesimal Intermonadic Charge Relations Γij = Σn qinj / rnij (dyadic catalytic charge interactions) |Ψ> = Σk ck Πij Γij |0> (superposed bond configuration states) Treat chemical bonds as superposed pluralities of infinitesimal dyadic charge relation configurations Γij between monadic catalysts rather than ambiguous "clouds". This grounds bonds in precise interaction algebras transcending paradoxical visualizations. 8) Thermodynamic Entropy/Time's Arrow Contradictory: Statistical mechanics gives time-reversible equations, paradoxically clashing with the time-irreversible increase of entropy described phenomenologically. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Relational Pluriverse Thermodynamics S = -kB Σn pn ln pn (entropy from realization weights pn) pn = |Tr Un(H) /Z|2 (Born statistical weights from monadologies) dS/dt ≥ 0 (towards maximal pluriverse realization) Entropy increase emerges from tracking the statistical weights pn of pluriversal monadic realizations Un(H) evolving towards maximal realization diversity, resolving paradoxes around time-reversal by centering entropics on the growth of relational pluralisms. In each case, the non-contradictory possibilities involve reformulating chemistry in terms of intrinsically pluralistic frameworks centered on monadic elements, their infinitesimal relational transitions, superposed realizations, and deviations across perspectival ensembles. This allows resolving apparent paradoxes stemming from the over-idealized separability premises of classical molecular models, dynamically deriving and unifying dualisms like wave/particle in a coherent algebraic ontology.
So why don’t you apply these non-contradictory possibilities to other wave like systems? All of wave like behavior exhibits an uncertainty principle - Fourier Transfroms, Short Time Fourier Transforms, Wavelet Transforms…I’m curious to see what you are able to come up with in these systems which are predominant in signal analysis, which could be revolutionary.
As bad as he is, or it was, no. No chance. The Nobel peace prize is actually worse than decimating Libya, continuing americas decline, and drone striking kids. That's actually pretty tame for the people on the list.
One could make a good argument that Bernanke has destroyed liberty and the republic with his money printing and destabilizing many nations from his inflation and funding US wars. Millions have died in Asia and the middleeast by us funded weapons paid for by QE. A bad guy with wrong ideas on how economies work
I love your channel for some of its content but feel you're too obsessed with historical Nobel Prize awards. It's called history and needs to be looked upon in context to the society at the time. That is very difficult for many to do realistically, it requires true empathic thought. Alfred Nobel made a large part of his fortune by adopting nitroglycerine as a commercially useful explosive. Not too high in the moral stakes either. It's just another notch in the progression of scientific knowledge.
I love your videos Brian but you need a better editor. Sorry I hope your not doing it yourself because if you are it's a pretty good but if your paying someone find someone better.
He also saved millions of lives.
Nobel peace prize to Henry Kissinger was also controversial and the lobotomy was awful also
Obama's peace prize has to be up there...
When you look at who has received the Nobel Peace prize, how can anyone take either the Peace or Scientific Nobel prizes seriously.
Because the nobel peace price is seperste from the scientific prices.
The scientific prices are nominated by swedish academia, the peace price is nominated by the norweighan parlament.
War has only one rule, win!
This just proves that all things are more complicated than they seem at a glance.

Indeed. The difference between wisdom and knowledge is lost on too many. It's like conflating morality and legality.
Right... so we glorify some scientists who did things for war, and demonize others. Gotta love the double standards.
This was really good! Never conflate knowledge with wisdom! “Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.” Love that!
Knowledge says Frankenstein was the doctor
Not the monster
And wisdom says the doctor WAS the monster.
Or, A Modern Prometheus.
That was a welcome and refreshing change from the subjects you normally cover. Not an endorsement for you to abandon the material you hitherto fore shared.
Jokes on you, I don't eat breakfast

9:44 the point at which you remember this guy is not a chemist.
Please expound.
So the nucleus of the Atom with orbiting electrons does not resemble the sun with orbiting planets. Interesting you think there is no resemblance.!! Monoculture and tilling made nitrogen mandatory. Natural growing needs very little input. !!
Air is 78% nitrogen
Beat me to it, he simply mixed Nitrogen content up with Oxygen, he knows it, you know it, I know 😉 it❤
Yeah my mind exploded…How didn’t he catch that??
@@steveclark2205 Ahh that makes sense! Thank you.
Every veil secretly desires to be lifted, except the veil of Hypocrisy.

Thanks very much
@@DrBrianKeatingCan you explain to me why you say Air is 20% Nitrogen??? Shouldn’t it be 79%??
Maybe rather the worst recipient of the Nobel Prize.
“The Nobel prize needs reform,” you say. Interesting. I think I follow, “never conflate knowledge with wisdom.”
Somewhat fitting however, given what Nobel himself invented and made the fortune used to pay the prize with....,
He invented dynamite, the first safe to handle high explosive, that revolutionized the mining industry. Its use in war has been extremly limited because its still volatile and impractical as a weapon.
Nobel however lost his brother to his invention, in a lab accident. This acident is cited as the reason Nobel became a philantropist millonaire.
@@AttiliusRex go google "The Merchant of Death is Dead"
Air is 80% nitrogen, not 20%.
Good one Dr Keating!
How was Barky O'Bummer overlooked?
Never thought about coping with reality
Abiy Ahmed turned out to be a poor choice for the Nobel Peace Prize.
13:18 The Axis armies didn't exist in WWI, Central Powers maybe.
Anyway, great video. Keep on delivering, dr. Keating.
he saved billions of lives
Yes, but he also save billions. It is estimated that 1/5 nitrogen in your body is the result of the chemical process he helped develop. As responsible for feeding the world's billions as are insecticides and Agricultural genetics.
Einstein was Jewish, a Pacifist and a Theorist rather than an Experimentalist. He legitimately deserved at least SEVEN Nobel Prizes.
Nobel himself wasnt the greatest... creating TNT...
why chase the Nobel prize? ..do something good enough that you can start your own prize with your own name attached
At 9:15 it was stated that air is 20% Nitrogen. Actually air is 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen. Please correct.
Kinda hard to win a nobel prize for something you had very little to do with (special relativety in Einstein's case).
And Nobel peace prize is political. Period.
The guy who invented ddt pestiside was given nobel prize and the activists guy who fought to ban dtt is also given peace prize. So nobel prize is also a joke in addition to being political.
