Bose's biggest contribution to Particle Physics came in the form of a study that he sought to present before his students at Dhaka to show them that contemporary theory was not in accordance with results gathered from experiments. During this lecture, Bose committed a 'mistake' in applying the theory, which unexpectedly gave a prediction that agreed with the experiment.
But the 'error' was a statistical one and not an experimental one. That would evolve into Bose writing a paper deriving Planck's quantum radiation law without any reference to classical physics. He used a new way of counting states with identical particles. As a result of this recognition, Bose was able to work for two years in European X-ray and crystallography laboratories, during which he worked with Louis de Broglie, Marie Curie and Einstein himself.
Not that Satyendranath Bose and his work would have gone in to oblivion even if the Bosons weren't named after him or no one really would have searched and found the God particle. His work was undoubtedly a corner stone of modern physics and one way or the other, if not now sometime in the future would have revealed and shown itself as future scientists would have strived for answers to the secrets of the universe.
Now that God particle has reinvented his greatness for the world, it has become all the more important that a modern and emerging India do everything to unearth the greatness and increase the awareness of its immortal scientist to instil ambition and purpose in its youth and future generations.
That only can atone a grate scientist who had the misfortune of being born an the wrong place at the wrong time. A thousand years from now, like oxygen, Bosons will still be around reminding everyone about Satyendranath Bose and his contribution to science, while Professor Higgs, credited with the prediction of Higg's Boson itself, the God particle everyone went gaga about, might be forgotten as it will be broken down, dissected and analyzed, extending the frontiers of human knowledge.
But that is not why Bose will be remembered. His name will stand out because, if greatness is to be judged by the contribution to the advancement of scientific knowledge, Satyendranath Bose is undoubtedly, the greatest scientists India has produced in recent times. News U. And even then you might just miss out on naming rights. Stigler's law of Eponymy states that "No scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer" the law was discovered by Robert K Merton.
Should we change the Higgs boson's name? The boson we don't like to call the 'God particle' is named after physicist Peter Higgs. But what about all the other people who worked on the discovery? Cone-shaped cells in our eyes act as receivers tuned to the wavelengths in this narrow band of the spectrum. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. Press ESC to cancel. Social studies. Ben Davis November 22, Why was the last boson named after Peter Higgs?
Who is Higgs boson named after? What does the discovery of the Higgs boson mean? Why is the Higgs boson called the God particle? Did CERN break the speed of light?
