The Nobel Prize is awarded in these categories: literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, peace, and economics. It cannot be awarded posthumously (so that makes a few of us ineligible).

Alfred Nobel was the man who invented dynamite, and he manufactured armaments, so it always seems odd to me (but also of course laudable) that there is a peace prize.

Anyway, to whom would you award a Nobel Prize? And if you could add a new category, what would it be?

It's said that Nobel was so guilty about his invention of dynamite, that's why there the peace prize came into existence.

There should be a biology one. Seems weird that physics and chemistry have one but not biology. Although most of the applications of biological research ends up in medicine, so maybe that's why.

The economics prize has always seemed odd to me.
