But the original question was asking the first American to win ANY Nobel prize. The Peace prize drifted in when everyone got all excited about Teddy Roosevelt.

who won the peace prize in 1906 to become 'the first American to win ANY Nobel prize.'

I fucked up and am not too big a man to admit it. Minx was right with Roosevelt in 1906. What was I thinking? It's this fucking flu, got me all messed up.

Michelson-Morley Experiment disproved the presence of the aether, the medium through which light was thought at the time to progate through. The implications of the Michelson-Morley experiment eventually led Einstein to set the speed of light in a vacuum to be a constant (Special Relativity).

 

the implications for WORLD PEACE are soooooo obvious

 

Thanks to Michelson, and Einstein, and Oppenheimer, and Teller, etc, we have E=mc^2, which has led to the development of 100M ton thermonuclear devices, which has led to our current level of unprecedented WORLD PEACE.

You're all wrong. The first American Nobel Peace Prize winner was Albert Michelson for Physics in 1907. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.

 

trask, check your facts. i do believe that i stated 1906...which by my way of thinking came prior to 1907 and michelson's nobel prize for physics.

Huh? I've been too busy lately trying to earn a NOBEL PEACE prize in PHYSICS for my Death Ray.
