One of the famous Indian physicists and mathematicians, Satyendra Nath Bose, In the early 1920s, was most recognised for his work on quantum mechanics.

Digital Desk: Today's google doodle honours Satyendra Nath Bose, an eminent Indian physicist and mathematician known for contributing to the Bose-Einstein Condensates. 

As mentioned in records, In 1924, he delivered his quantum formulations to Albert Einstein, who immediately recognised it as a significant quantum mechanics achievement.

Bose's career started in academia. His father, an accountant, discouraged Bose's interest in mathematics by assigning him arithmetic homework to do each day before going to work. 

At the age of 15, Bose enrolled at Presidency College in Calcutta to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree and later earned a Master's in Applied Mathematics from the University of Calcutta. He graduated top in his class for both degrees and reaffirmed his distinguished academic reputation.

Bose began giving physics lectures before the end of 1917. While presenting Planck's radiation formula to postgraduate students, he began to question how particles were measured and began to test his own hypotheses. 

In a report titled Planck's Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta, which he submitted to The Philosophical Magazine, a respected academic journal, he published his findings. 

He took the risk of mailing his work to Albert Einstein at the time. His research was rejected, much to his surprise.

The significance of the discovery was quickly realised by Einstein, who applied Bose's formula to a broad spectrum of events. Bose's theoretical paper became one of quantum theory's most important results.

The Indian government honoured Bose's outstanding contributions to physics by bestowing the Padma Vibhushan, the country's highest civilian honour. He was also named National Professor, India's highest accolade for academics.

Bose became the president of many scientific organisations, including the Indian Physical Society, the National Institute of Science, the Indian Science Congress, and the Indian Statistical Institute. 

He eventually became a Fellow of the Royal Society and served as an adviser to the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. Any particle that currently corresponds to Bose's statistics is referred to be a boson in his honour.

His work has resulted in numerous scientific breakthroughs, including discovering the particle accelerator and the God particle.
