Nobel himself did *not* invent TNT. He developed dynamite - quite a
different thing :-/
Considering that the various Nobel Prizes aren't associated with the UN
- all the awarding bodies, and the money funds, are firmly based in
what the GZG timeline calls the Scandinavian Federation - I'm not
entirely convinced of the UN using those names, though :-/
