SATHYENDRANATH  BOSE

The Great Einstein

He joined Dacca University in 1921 as a reader in Physics. While serving in this post he wrote a short article of just six pages in English. It was an article relating to physics, on 'Max Planck's Law' and 'Light Quantum Hypothesis'. This article was sent to Albert Einstein. He had not only won the Nobel Prize but was one of the world's greatest scientists in the twentieth century. The learned professor read the article.

This little article brought about a great change in the life of Sathyendranath. When he wrote it he had not yet made a name. He was as just a M.Sc. The university, which had employed him was an infant one and was little known. But this article attracted by Albert Einstein. He appreciated it so much that he himself translated it into German and sent it
for publication to a famous periodical in Germany -'Zeitschrift fur Physik'. He also
explained at length the significance of the subject matter of the article and the great
possibilities the article indicated.
