    Alfred Nobel created dynamite in an attempt to make the dangerous explosive nitroglycerin safer to transport and use after his brother died in an accidental explosion. After discovering that mixing nitroglycerin with silica absorbed much of its volatility and made it safer, Nobel had inadvertently invented dynamite, though as a pacifist he had intended to develop something to reduce destruction, not enable it.
