Jagdish Chandra Bose

The Search Engine Google is showing this Doodle in many Countries for celebrating Jagadish Chandra Bose’s 158th Birthday Jagadish Chandra Bose was a polymath, physicist, biologist, biophysicist, botanist and archaeologist, as well as an early writer of science fiction. Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose was a master of scientific achievement with numerous accomplishments in various fields. He was the first to prove that plants too have feelings. He invented wireless telegraphy a year before Marconi patented his invention. Living in British India, J.C Bose pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, made very significant contributions to plant science, and laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian subcontinent. IEEE named him one of the fathers of radio science. He is considered the father of Bengali science fiction. He also invented the crescograph. A crater on the moon has been named in his honour. Born in Munshiganj, Bengal Presidency during the British Raj, Bose graduated from St. Xavier's College, Calcutta. He then went to the University of London to study medicine, but could not pursue studies in medicine because of health problems. Instead, he conducted his research with the Nobel Laureate Lord Rayleigh at Cambridge and returned to India. He then joined the Presidency College of the University of Calcutta as a Professor of Physics.

There, despite racial discrimination and a lack of funding and equipment, Bose carried on his scientific research. He made remarkable progress in his research of remote wireless signalling and was the first to use semiconductor junctions to detect radio signals. However, instead of trying to gain commercial benefit from this invention, Bose made his inventions public to allow others to further develop his research. Bose subsequently made several pioneering discoveries in plant physiology. He used his own invention, the crescograph, to measure plant response to various stimuli, and thereby scientifically proved parallelism between animal and plant tissues. To facilitate his research, he constructed automatic recorders capable of registering extremely slight movements; these instruments produced some striking results, such as Bose's demonstration of an apparent power of feeling in plants, exemplified by the quivering of injured plants. His books include Response in the Living andNon-Living and The Nervous Mechanism of Plants

Stephen Hawking How powerful is our mind and what can we achieve only by using this, is greatly shown by one of the greatest scientists in the world StephenHawking. Who was unable to move any part of his body except only one of his cheek's muscles.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT

ALEXANDER THE GREAT It is said that he was born from Zeus himself, a demi-god in the flesh. He tamed an unbreakable wild stallion that full-grown men feared to approach at the age of 12, and that horse would carry him to military victory after military victory until his untimely death at the age of 32. He was tutored by one of the ancient world's greatest thinkers. His name says it all- Alexander The Great. But how much about Alexander is really true, and what's fiction? And ultimately, with a whopping zero Instagram followers, can we truly say he was all that great? Haters and historians alike will tell you that Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC to the Macedonian king Phillip II and his wife, Olympias. A true Greek however knows that Alexander was actually the love child of Zeus himself, who had a nasty habit of popping down to earth and taking various animal shapes to con women into sleeping wi...
