5. They're not going to give him a Nobel...

There have been years when they've received more than 200 nominations, so this action isn't particularly meaningful in and of itself. Also, they would not want to deal with the embarrassment of former winners sending theirs back. Or Alfred Nobel rising from the grave.

They apparently nominated him for 2026, according to the article. (The noms for the 2025 prize were due by the end of February 2025). Between now and the summer of 2026, it's unlikely that he'll be doing anything to bolster his 'candidacy'.

And his romance with nukes goes against their greatest concerns.
