Indian physicist, victim of racism

Of the three main past and present physicists behind the landmark proton-smashing experiment in Geneva, the third man is the Bose of the Higgs-boson experiment - Satyendra Nath Bose so brilliant and yet so overlooked. It is Bose after whom the sub-atomic particle 'boson' is named. The $10 billion Large Hadron Collider experiment in Switzerland could not have happened without Bose and Albert Einstein. In 1924, Bose sent a paper to Einstein describing a statistical model that laid the basis for describing one of the two categories of the elementary particles that make up an atom of which one was boson. Einstein had already won the Nobel in 1921,the British scientist Peter Higgs who eventually came up with his theory of the Higgs boson is now widely tipped to win the Nobel. It is Satyendra Nath Bose who for some reason never won the medal perhaps he became a victim to institutionalized racism. In such a case the international community and the Nobel academy should make amends through immediate recognition of his work.

  • Bose is considered as one of the principal founders of quantum mechnaics.

  • Contribution to Science and Humanity should be above nationalistic views Mr. TheNotFooled. With ancient scriptures that have the most advance form of Mathematics written in the oldest language? With evidences of face transplants 5000 years ago? After giving the 'zero' to the world? If by 'improving' our country you mean overconsumption like in the west, ipods or fashion then imagine what will happen to the world if a billion Indians own fast cars. We are not poor, we are environmentalists.

  • This is not right. However, improve your own country and don't come to Europe. Thankyou, I know you understand that you wouldn't want millions of Chinese coming to your country. Thankyou for understanding and respecting Europe.
