Underrated scientists of India series-1
Hello guys , hope you are doing good .Welcome Aero visionary blogs, we
are the one who focuses on science and technology and things related to
technology. As we are in 21st century we are leading a life a bit
better by using science . But there is a lot of hardwork , time and passion of
so many gentlemen behind it. But till date very few of them came to limelite
and many of them disappeared in the history due to various reasons which time
has shown. So we are here with one initiative to remember their workings and
let our future generation’s know about hem and their workings. To get a
detailed information about the scientists mentioned in the blog go through our
y channel mission aviatya.
The first scientist we gonna know about is Jgadish Chandra Bose.
Introduction :
Certain names stand out in the annals of scientific history, while
others—while equally deserving—remain obscured. Jagadish Chandra Bose is one of
these outstanding scientists. Despite making ground-breaking advances in
numerous sectors, Bose's name is sometimes overlooked by the general public.
Today, we examine the life, contributions, and legacy of an underappreciated
genius who fundamentally altered the course of science.
Early years and education:
Jagadish Chandra Bose, who was born in 1858 in Mymensingh (now in
Bangladesh), displayed intelligence at a young age. Following the completion of
his study in England, he went back to India and enrolled at the Presidency
College in Calcutta (now Kolkata). He started a fascinating scientific quest
there that would help him solve some of the riddles of the natural world.
Revolutionizing Wireless Communication:
Bose was experimenting with radio waves and microwave optics long before
contemporary wireless technologies emerged, revolutionising wireless communication.
He created the "mercury coherer," a machine that could detect radio
waves, in 1895. This innovation served as the catalyst for the development of
wireless telegraphy, which later gave rise to modern wireless communication
networks. Bose's groundbreaking work had a direct impact on following
developments, such as Guglielmo Marconi's trials with wireless telegraphy.
Understanding Plant Life:
Bose had an interest in science that went beyond physics and electronics.
He undertook in-depth studies on plants, challenging popular belief that they
are lifeless objects. Bose shown that plants have response processes of their
own that resemble the neural systems of mammals. He disproved the conventional
wisdom that only animals were sensitive to stimuli like light, heat, and
electric shocks by conducting studies that demonstrated that plants also react
to these stimuli.
The Crescograph and Plant Physiology:
Beyond physics and electronics, Bose had a broad interest in science. He
conducted in-depth research into plants, dispelling the myth that they are
inert objects. Bose has demonstrated that plants have their own response
mechanisms that resemble the brain networks of animals. Through his research,
he challenged the belief that only animals were sensitive to stimuli like
light, heat, and electric shocks by proving that plants can also respond to
these stimuli.
Overcoming Societal Barriers:
Along with his intellectual endeavours, Bose also had to overcome
colonial India's social constraints. He encountered several difficulties and
restrictions as an Indian scientist living under the British Raj. Bose
persevered in his quest for knowledge and progress despite these barriers. Even
today, young scientists and researchers are inspired by his tenacity and
resolve in the face of hardship.
Legacy and Recognition:
Despite the relative lack of recognition during his lifetime, Bose's
contributions have gradually garnered recognition in recent years. His work in
wireless communication and plant physiology laid the groundwork for future
scientific breakthroughs. Scholars and scientists have come to appreciate his
genius and the impact he made on various scientific disciplines. His name now
graces numerous scientific institutions, and his legacy is honored by those who
recognize his invaluable contributions to the scientific community.
Conclusion:
In the
scientific pantheon, cerebral giant Jagadish Chandra Bose continues to be
underappreciated. His seminal contributions to plant physiology and wireless
communication opened the door for contemporary scientific developments. Bose's
constant commitment to his studies in the face of societal obstacles is an
example of his unshakeable spirit and resolve. Let's not overlook this
remarkable scientist when we consider the development of science and recognise
his enormous contributions to knowledge.
