CERN DG surprised at not giving Nobel Prize to Satyendra Nath Bose
Tuesday, 8 April 2014
Director General of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) Prof Rolf-Dieter Heur said on Monday he often wonders why Satyendra Nath Bose was not given the Nobel Prize, reports UNB.
"Prof Higgs (Peter Higgs) together with Englert (Francois Englert) won the Nobel Prize as they predicted the existence of such a particle 50 years ago. I often ask the question why Satyendra Nath Bose was not awarded with the Nobel Prize. He did so many things," Heur said.
The CERN DG made the remark while addressing the 48th convocation of Dhaka University as the convocation speaker at the university's playground.
Prof Heur said, “Two physicists whose names are connected to the family of particles....One is Bose.”
