The Indian who made the Big Bang test necessary
London: Of the three main past and present physicists behind the landmark proton-smashing quantum physics experiment in Geneva on Wednesday, one has a Nobel Prize, the other is waiting to find out if he has one, and the third never got one. The third man is the Bose of the ‘Higgs boson’ experiment — Satyendra Nath Bose. It is Bose after whom the sub-atomic particle ‘boson’ is named — probably the only noun in the English language named after an Indian (hence never capitalised).
The Large Hadron Collider experiment in Switzerland on Wednesday could not have happened without Bose and Albert Einstein.
In 1924, Bose sent a paper to Einstein describing a statistical model that eventually led to the discovery of the Bose-Einstein condensate phenomenon.
