#SatyendraNathBose FRS was an Indian mathematician and physicist specialising in theoretical physics. He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, in developing the foundation for Bose statistics and the theory of the Bose condensate.

Today, @Google honours and pays tribute to the Indian physicist and mathematician with doodle.
#SatyaNarayanBose

By 1917, Bose began giving lectures on physics. While teaching postgraduate students Planck’s radiation formula, Bose had questioned the way particles were counted and began experimenting with his own theories.

He documented his findings in a report called Planck’s Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta, and had sent it to a prominent science journal called The Philosophical Magazine. When his research was rejected, he decided to mail his paper to #AlbertEinstein.

#Einstein recognised the significance of the discovery — and soon applied Bose’s formula to a wide range of phenomena. Bose’s theoretical paper became one of the most important findings in #QuantumTheory.

#Bose served as president of many scientific institutions, incl Indian Physical Society, National Institute of Science, Indian Science Congress and Indian Statistical Institute.
An adviser to Council of Scientific & Industrial Research; he soon became a Fellow of Royal Society.

The #IndianGovernment also recognised Bose’s tremendous contribution to physics by awarding him one of the highest civilian award in the country, the #PadmaVibhushan. He was also appointed as National Professor, the highest honour in India for scholars.
