Meghnad Saha, whose Theory of Thermal Ionisation, is one of the landmarks of modern astronomy. Also introduced nuclear physics as a discipline in India. One of the great Indian scientists of modern era. Thread on his death anniversary today. 
One of the most important scientific theories during the 20th century, has been the theory of thermal ionization. Basically an expression, that relates the ionization state of a gas, in thermal equilibrium to the temperature and pressure.
It combined the theories of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics and is used to explain the spectral classification of stars. Arthur Stanley Eddington, called it as one of the most important landmark in the history of astronomy.

#MeghnadSaha can be known as the “Heat-Man” who developed thermal ionization equation that can determine the temperature of the star.
Dr Saha’s theories and his work led to his nomination to the Nobel Prize in Physics for six times until his death.

Dr. Saha is inspiration to all the budding physicists around the world. A role model who pioneered foundational research in astrophysics.
Dr. Saha was the first to teach and train nuclear physicis/ts in the entire country. Dr. Saha was a Dalit. He’s one of our proud sons.

Dr. Saha (1893-1956) didn’t let science escape into esotericism. Thus, he pioneered exploring social relation of science on the society by launching a popular journal “Science and Culture” in 1935. Today is the death anniversary of Dr. Saha who was born in a Namashudra community.
#Kolkata the city of #Cyclotrons - where Indian scientist led by the legendary #MeghnadSaha DARED TO DREAM BIG
A cyclotron is a particle accelerator. It is an electrically powered machine which produces a beam of charged particles that can be used for medical, industrial and research processes.
As the name suggests, a cyclotron accelerates charged particles in a spiral path, which allows for a much longer acceleration path than a straight line accelerator.
