THE SIMPLE TOOTH FUN FACTS ABOUT DECEMBER! December might be one of the most exciting, festive times of year, but it’s also a great opportunity to learn about how humanity has come together to accomplish big things. Let’s look at our favorites! THE VERY FIRST NOBEL PEACE PRIZE Alfred Nobel was a remarkable man. Alfred Nobel was a remarkable man. He was born into poverty but became one of the most prominent industrialists and inventors of his day — he even invented dynamite! He made a fortune equal to $300 million today. After the press wrongly reported his brother Ludwig’s death as his own, Nobel began to think about what would happen to his fortune after his death. After all, he’d had several relationships with women but produced no heirs. So, he designed a prize that’d be rewarded in five categories: chemistry, literature, physiology or medicine, physics, and peace. Despite the “peace” category drawing some controversy over the years, it continues to be rewarded to pacifists and humanitarians who help make the world a better place. And on Dec. 10, 1901, the very first Nobel Peace Prize was given out.
IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE WITH A COOKIE On Dec. 4 every year, bakers and pastry lovers get prepared for one of the sweetest days of the year: National Cookie Day. For as long as baking has existed, so have hard, cookie-like wafers. Not only were they easy to make, but they also traveled well! However, sweet cookies (as we know them today) only began to grow in popularity starting during the seventh century in Persia, as sugar became more common. Today, over 7 billion cookies are consumed each year in the U.S.! MORE GALAXIES There was a time when we knew about planets, but we didn’t quite understand that our galaxy wasn’t the only one. Fortunately, Edwin Hubble (born in 1889) dedicated his life’s work to building one of the world’s biggest telescopes on top of Mount Wilson in Southern California. On Dec. 30, 1924, Edwin Hubble announced his findings of many other galaxies and profoundly changed our understanding of the universe.
From everyone at Anderson Dental Care, we hope you have a wonderful rest of your December!
