Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of British physicist Peter Higgs. Known for his groundbreaking prediction of the Higgs boson in 1964—a particle integral to our understanding of the universe—his work earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013. It took nearly 50 years and experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to confirm the existence of this particle, ultimately validating Higgs' theory. He was much more than a renowned scientist; he was a great teacher and mentor, inspiring generations of young scientists with his modesty. Rest in peace. #RIP #Higgs #Boson #PeterHiggs #Particle #ParticlePhysics

Did you know? The integral symbol, ∫, was chosen by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1675 to represent the sum of infinitesimal parts. He based his choice on a misunderstanding of the Latin word "summa" (sum), which he thought was abbreviated as "s." In fact, manuscripts at the time used a long "s" (∫) as the abbreviation. Despite the mix-up, his choice of the integral symbol has become a foundational element of calculus, standing the test of time and proving indispensable in the world of mathematics. Sometimes, even mistakes can lead to enduring legacies!

Remembering Sir Isaac Newton, the brilliant mind whose work in the Principia laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. His three laws of motion and groundbreaking insights into gravity have shaped our understanding of the universe. On his death anniversary, we remember the legacy of a man who unlocked the mysteries of celestial mechanics, reminding us of the power of curiosity and reason. #Newton #IsaacNewton #Gravity #LawsOfMotion #Science

Remembering a monumental day in history, March 26, 1953, when Dr. Jonas Salk announced the development of the polio vaccine, turning the tide against one of the most daunting public health challenges of the time. His selfless decision to not patent the vaccine, declaring it belonged to humanity, reflects a level of dedication that continues to inspire. Salk's courage to first test the vaccine on himself exemplifies a true commitment to saving millions. Let us honor this hero who chose humanity over profit. 🌍💉

In my latest article for @IndiaToday, I discuss Sir CV Raman's legacy, tracing his journey from childhood to becoming a Nobel Laureate. His discovery of the Raman Effect, sparked by curiosity about the color of the sea, earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 and led to the establishment of National Science Day on February 28th. This article also explores the impact of this discovery on global science.

Refusing a contract worth crores, Dhoni chose to honor BAS, the bat brand that supported him in his early days during the World Cup. "He just said 'put your stickers on my bats and send them across,'" recalls BAS owner Mr. Somi Kohli. Despite advice to consider the lucrative deal, Dhoni remained firm, stating, "No... it is my decision." A true example of gratitude and integrity.
