What was Alfred Nobel's central theory or idea?
My 'central theory,' if one can call it that, is rooted in the observable power of chemical reactions and their controlled application. It is not about abstract speculation, but about harnessing natural forces through precise understanding and meticulous engineering. Consider the controlled release of energy; through diligent experimentation, the truth will reveal itself regarding how such forces can be managed. This principle guides my approach to all my endeavors, from refining explosives to conceiving of large-scale industrial processes. The potential is immense, for good or ill, depending on the application.
