[@yusufmd954]

Wow grate content keep it up!!😊

[@dbratboy92]

They forgot mention the reason Nobel set this up in the first place. Because he felt guilty for the countless deaths he was responsible for. And wanted to be remembered for something good. Maybe they left that out intentionally but this is how history is rewritten with incorrect facts

[@devinejustice4438]

Those small vids are soooo awesome

[@NatGeo]

Thanks for watching!

[@BlackWolf140game]

"A sum of money" HOW MUCH?! Are we talking Taco Bell for dinner or high class like.. uhh.. Applebees? 😁

[@Kropikovo]

Nobel Prize is something that used to be valuable.

[@luciano2003.]

Still valuable mate

[@amenodorime5439]

I find your videos alsways a little hard to watch since I must pay all my attention on reading the frequently changing text. Would really appreciate it if you had a speaker to read it out.

[@buddhasdisciple4935]

slow down the video (just like your brain) and there won't be no problem....hallelujah !!

[@NatGeo]

Thanks for your feedback! Are there other reasons that you prefer watching a video with a narrator?

[@leonardoruiz2793]

You should say what Alfred Nobel did for a living

[@zrapboy7]

I will have a Nobel prize in the future.

[@RandomHuman1103]

My question is,where does the money for award come from now?

[@giobugtong_]

Thanks. I was thinking about the Nobel Prize earlier today.

[@ricardorey6477]

Juan Manuel Santos Colombia :)

[@luciano2003.]

[@Tacsmoker]

Question............. who wants longer videos from this channel? like this so they see it and do it hopefully.

[@blususpect]

tacsmoker honestly

[@Tacsmoker]

yeah, honestly, i would love these videos to be longer so me and everyone else learns more, is that a bad thing?

[@NatGeo]

Thank you for your feedback! What length videos do you prefer to watch?

[@Tacsmoker]

firstly, thanks for replying, im a big fan, i'd love to watch clips at least ten minutes now and then, and maybe some old stuff off longer lengths, im sure they would be welcomed by all us subscribers, cheers for listening.

[@kotonizna]

super short video with flashing subtitles is really not fun to watch especially here in youtube. This is the type of video production that you see in facebook and twitter is so tiring . I hope you consider producing videos that is more suitable for youtube audience. 3-4 min video is fine. Narration is way better than subtitles

[@sab7ir]

Make videos with voice...

[@NatGeo]

Thanks for your feedback! Why do you prefer to watch videos with a narrator?

[@mojokuku2745]

It's a award given to people sometimes for political reasons when they are often not or less than deserving. I lost all respect for the Nobel Prize...

[@thefreethinker4441]

Mojokuku I lost faith when Prof. Goodenough was not given. F**k Nobel committee. _|_

[@grrr1351]

Obama, peace Nobel prize award. What a joke.

[@nameless4189]

Mojokuku na, some should be respected

[@mojokuku2745]

[@Andreas-jl9nr]

"I lost all respect for the Nobel Prize" is pretty bad wording. The prize was meant to be awarded to people that deserve it by alfred nobel. Just because some people got it but didn't deserve it doesn't mean it isn't doing anything good. It gives intelligent people that have come up with great things more money to fund future projects and it gives people a reason to discover and come up with new things that will benefit humans.

[@dance4life1208]

how come Ben Carson doesn't have one? It seems like this is mostly political though..most of the people that have it are just good speakers and not smart or intelligent to me

[@buddhasdisciple4935]

ALFRED NOBEL : INVENTOR OF #DYNAMITE & #BOFORS GUN.....AND YOU HAVE A #PEACE PRIZE IN HIS NAME ?? LOL...ROFL...LMAO

[@hitmebabyonemoretime6542]

Taylor Swift deserve one for dominating music history

[@maggyfrog]

too bad the peace prize doesn't mean anything anymore.

[@zuluzulu8325]

this man, a merchant of death, only wanted to clean his conscience after his terrible contribution to humanity and sadly it worked, now he is remebered for his "prizes".......

[@countrylife04]

a useless award

[@bojidarmartinov5949]

The Truth 04 just like your life

[@robertoavila9318]

Bojidar Martinov was that necessary?
