Hawking's scientific works included a collaboration with on gravitational theorems in the framework of , and the theoretical prediction that black holes radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Initially, Hawking radiation was controversial. By the late 1970s and following the publication of further research, the discovery was widely accepted as a major breakthrough in theoretical physics. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a of the general theory of and . He was a vigorous supporter of the interpretation of quantum mechanics.

This is how a once introduced S.N.Bose to his .
Bose’s name was very much in the news when discovered the a few years back. The Higgs boson is not the only particle, however, to enjoy this honour, and there is in fact a whole class of elementary particles that share a group name – boson. While the name in the Higgs boson is attributed, and is well known, to Peter Higgs, the name comes from Satyendra Nath Bose, who is often overlooked.
Think of the many particles you have heard of, such as electron, proton, neutron, neutrino, and photon. All the particles in this list, except the photon, are so-called ......
