Pure dynamite: Nobel may have invented the explosive, but today, it is all about the Nobel Peace Prize. This may sound a little absurd until you look at the former recipients, Barrack Obama in 2009, Al Gore, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama.

The other categories are interesting too. Physics (Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Erwin Schrödinger), literature (Thomas Mann, Heinrich Böll, Jean-Paul Sartre – and last but not least Elfriede Jelinek), chemistry (Marie Curie) and economics and medicine. Enough namedropping – the big event takes place annually on the 10th of December but don’t count on an invite.

Not that it matters really when you can join the science groupies outside the concert hall and get a glimpse of those celebrities that are about to make history.
