A little boy growing up in Calcutta (now Kolkata) is brilliant in mathematics.
In school, he is forever remembered as the only student to ever score 110
out of 100 in maths! The boy, Satyendranath Bose, would go on to propose
theories that would change the fi eld of physics forever.
In 1924, Satyendranath Bose wrote a scientifi c paper that impressed the most
famous scientist in the world-Albert Einstein. This paper was translated
by Einstein into German and published for the world to read. Satyendranath
Bose's fi ndings were groundbreaking in the statistical foundations of quantum
mechanics. He carried out statistical calculations for the kind of particles
that were named after him-the boson. Einstein extended his work and
predicted the lowest energy state, called the Bose-Einstein Condensate. It was
experimentally achieved in the twentieth century, seventy years later!
This is the story of an astonishing mind that loved to learn, whether it was
science, literature, or music. It is also about a man who was admired by the
greatest scientists of all time. Satyendranth Bose's fi ndings in the area of
physics made him immortal. This is his amazing story.
