Abstract
The Nobel Prize is generally considered the hallmark of achievements in science, as well as in literature and peace politics. However, at the same time, the workings of the Nobel system are very little understood, and there are a lot of misunderstandings around. Here, the case of Marconi´s Nobel Prize will shed some light on this issue when we study how Marconi´s and others´ work was evaluated by the Nobel committee.
