The Google Doodle on June 4 honoured Indian mathematician and physicist Satyendra Nath Bose with a quirky picture. On this day, back in 1924, the renowned genius sent his quantum formulations to German scientist Albert Einstein, who recognised it as one of the most important findings in quantum mechanics.
Albert Einstien also applied Bose’s formula to a wide range of phenomena. His theoretical paper became one of the most significant discoveries in quantum theory.
Satyendra Nath Bose was born in 1894 in Kolkata. As a child, he used to solve an arithmetic problem given by his accountant father every day before leaving for work, fuelling his interest in mathematics. At the age of 15, Bose started pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at Calcutta’s Presidency College and earned a Master’s in Applied Mathematics at the University of Calcutta soon after. He began giving lectures on physics by the end of 1917.

“While teaching postgraduate students Planck’s radiation formula, he questioned the way particles were counted and began experimenting with his own theories,” as per Google. “He documented his findings in a report called Planck’s Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta, and sent it to a prominent science journal called The Philosophical Magazine,” Google added. However, his paper was rejected. Following that, he mailed the paper to Einstein.
