Today’s Google Doodle pays a homage to Indian mathematician and physicist Satyendra Nath Bose
Today’s Google Doodle: If you have opened the Google homepage today, you probably came across the unique Google Doodle of an Indian scientist immersed in his work. That person is none other than Satyendra Nath Bose. Google has paid a tribute to the Indian mathematician and physicist through its illustrated artwork on Saturday, June 4. The day is not his birthday or death anniversary, however. The tech giant picked the date to commemorate the occasion when Bose sent his quantum formulation to Albert Einstein. Einstein, recognizing the significance of his work, called it a significant discovery in quantum physics. Later on, that formulation became the foundation for what we today know as the Bose-Einstein Condensate. Read on to know more about Bose and his illustrious work that made him so important in the world of science.
The Google Doodle portrays a caricature of Bose along with a clipboard where he can be seen writing with focus. The background of the illustration highlights a blackboard with formulas and equations written down. The center of the image is taken up by a symbol for an atom, which is also the gateway for quantum physics. Google has also put up a blog post where it has dedicated a small description of Satyendra Nath Bose’s achievements.
In the post, Google said, “Today’s Doodle celebrates Indian physicist and mathematician Satyendra Nath Bose and his contribution to the Bose-Einstein Condensate. On this day in 1924, he sent his quantum formulations to Albert Einstein who immediately recognized it as a significant discovery in quantum mechanics”.
Born on January 1, 1894, in Kolkata, Satyendra Nath Bose was an academician specializing in theoretical physics. His early source of inspiration were his father, an
