5 Indian Scientists Who Deserved To Win Nobel Prize In Physics

While there are several Indian-American Nobel laureates, only one person has won Nobel Prize in Science as an Indian citizen way back in 1930. In this video, let us look at 5 Indian scientists who deserved to win Nobel Prize in Physics. Bose was a brilliant physicist who laid the foundations for Bose-Einstein statistics. Several Nobel Prizes were awarded related to the field initiated by him, He was nominated five times but did not win. English physicist Paul Dirac coined the term Boson in Bose's honor. These are particles that follow Bose-Einstein statistics. When asked about his Nobel Prize snub, Bose replied, I have got all the recognition I deserve. Surely, his name will live on forever in the scientific world, thanks to Paul Dirac. He was an Indian astrophysicist and also a member of Indian Parliament later on. The equation he discovered in 1920 allows astronomers to accurately relate the spectrum of stars to their actual temperatures. Sahar was nominated several times, especially for the work done in astronomy. But at that time, astronomy was not considered a branch of physics. American astronomer Edwin Hubble tried to change that during his lifetime, but to no avail. In 2005, a controversy broke out when Roy Glaber won the Nobel Prize for Glaber-Sudarshan representation in quantum optics, while Sudarshan was ignored. In 2007, Sudarshan told Hindustan Times, The 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for my work, but I wasn't the one to get it. He was a nuclear physicist who was regarded as the father of Indian nuclear program. Bhabha figured out that interaction of cosmic rays with the upper atmosphere produced particles at the ground level. He concluded that observation of such particles was a straightforward experimental verification of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Bhabha was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1951 and in 1953 but did not win. He was an Indian physicist who is known for the creation of Ramachandran plot. It helps in understanding the peptide structure. He completed his doctoral thesis under the supervision of Nobel laureate Sir C. V. Raman. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for his fundamental contributions in the understanding of protein structure and functioning. Top scientists, including Linus Pauling and Francis Crick, regarded Ramachandran's work You don't like it? Go somewhere else. To another universe where the rules are simpler.
