There is no need to get worked up on this - no one is calling into question the great work done on by SN Bose. The immediate discovery is of Higgs Boson - which is why Higgs is getting a lot more mentions. Every time a subatomic particle is discovered do we go all the way back to Rutherford,Bohr or Einstein?


who is this fucktard that wrote this? it's higgs boson particle. not higgs particle.

biology center's director? seriously to comment on physics. I agree he might be a scientist, but this is retarted.

flag (everyone flag it too)



Why to just blow a trumpet which an irresponsible media house has created !! No one is stealing a thinder or anything !!


Really? They admit very early on that bosons are named after Bose. If that's not honoring Bose, I don't know what is.

"I believe it's a deliberate omission."

It's named a freaking BOSON, as in "BOSE-ON". Get over yourselves.
