Did Thomas Edison win the Nobel prize?

Answer 1

No, he did not.

Answer 2

No, Thomas Edison did not win the Nobel Prize. While he was a prolific inventor and held over a thousand patents, he did not receive the prestigious Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Peace is awarded annually to individuals who have made significant contributions in these respective fields, and Edison's work did not align with the criteria for these prizes.

Answer 3

It is often reported that Edison and Tesla were offered the Nobel Prize and they turned it down.

It's a good story - but it's not true, and you can verify that with the Nobel Prize committee as they've answered this a number of times. Neither Nicholai Tesla or Edison were ever offered the Nobel Prize.

In 1915 a Rueters story was written before the prize was awarded. This was picked up and speculated into a rumor by a New York paper that reported the rumor. As the Nobel committee has pointed out - you cannot refuse an award until after you've been given it. They have never recieved the Nobel prize -- so --- they could not have refused it. The year in question, the Nobel Prize went to the Braggs for their work in X-raying Crystaline structures whcih really changed how we understood a lot of things - like - atoms and molecules. :)

Kind of a big deal.
