Nobel Prize controversies

The Nobel Prizes are a series of awards, posthumously instituted by bequest of Alfred Nobel, to be awarded to individuals who had served humanity in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. There is also the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel which is itself controversial. The prizes are generally considered to be supreme decoration in the world today. Over their hundred-year history, there have been several Nobel Prize controversies wherein apparently deserving recipients were excluded from the prize, or alternately where a recipient later appeared to be undeserving of the prize.
