Scientific Secrets of Jainism
were very fond of music. Einstein himself used to play on the violin and Bose was fond of classical music. Bose was ambitious to do research work in physics in collaboration with Einstein but this dream of him was never realized. Still however, the present-day Bose - Einstein statistics, is a result of his correspondence with Einstein. In the correspondence he addressed Einstein as his guru according to the ancient Indian tradition. He met Einstein in October 1925 A.D. Einstein's approval of his research work as a beginner, made Bose famous all over the world. Bose was no doubt a great scientist of this century. Through his important research works he made revolutionary changes in quantum statistics. In 1900 A.D. Max Planck proposed a new revolutionary hypothesis regarding radiating energy of completely black body lying in a closed container. Of course, in his new equation, E= hv , Max Planck regarded light particles / photons as electromagnetic waves. Max Planck(1900), Peter Debye(1910) and Einstein (1917) -- all the three used the classical idea of electromagnetic waves directly or indirectly in explaining the formula for the energy in the radiation from a black body. All these three were faced with some kind of difficulties which they had never been able to solve.
The first and the most famous of Bose's papers (1924 A.D.) was a fourpage long paper entitled 'Planck's law and the light quantum hypothesis". This research paper marks the beginning of the quantum statistics in the modern physics. When Bose totally abandoned Planck's wave and aspects of photons and challenged the classical statistical mechanics, he was only 30 years old. Bose submitted a paper on this work to the Philosophical Magazine. Six months latter, the paper was rejected because of the negative recommendation by the referee. On June 4, 1924, Bose then sent the rejected manuscript along with a handwritten cover letter to Einstein in Germany. Bose stated in his letter that " I regard the paper as an important contribution and I will have it published." Einstein was very much impressed with the derivation of Max Planck's formula presented by Bose treated photons as particles and not as waves. The derivation was totally regardless of the wave form of photons. Still however he regarded photon particles as massless. Einstein himself translated Bose's research paper into German and got it published in the 1924 August issue of a German magazine. To this article Einstein added the following comment : 'Bose's derivation of Planck's formula appears to me an important step forward. The method used here gives also
