Hello everyone. I wonder if we can show the name of Bose in Bengali script. I don't know much about including different fonts in Wikipedia articles, maybe someone else has some ideas here. Happy editing, Wile E. Heresiarch 15:56, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bengali script
Done.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanzeel (talk • contribs) aSsssssssssssssss Hi,
I'm wondering if the article was intended to read 'disagreed with observation', rather than 'agreed with observation' - as, how can something that agrees with obs be a contradiction ? 80.219.58.180 19:52, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Doh! Just re-read it a couple times again.. and see what is meant now.. :-) Sorry.. 80.219.58.180 19:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Note: January 9, 2006: Flawed and misleading information under the title: "The Error that wasn’t." Flawed and misrepresented information all over. Will be edited. Direct students are in consultation & S. N. Bose Center in Kolkata, India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.20.225.118 (talk • contribs)
[edit] The coin flipping example
I may be completely mistaken and perhaps do not know much about probability, but the coin flipping anology given under the section, "The error that wasn't" seems to be incorrect. If two identical, fair coins are flipped, we will find that we get two heads for 25% of the throws, not one third of the throws as mentioned. We will also get a heads-tails combination for 50% of the throws and two tails for 25% of the throws. If this is correct, that anology should probably be removed, or modified appropriately - perhaps it should mention the heads-tails combination that occurs 50% of the time instead.
No, that is classical statistics, where the two coins can be individually identified, so that (H1-T2) and (H2-T1) are different configurations. In Bose's quantum statistics, the coins are indistinguishable (no labels for either), so that there are only three different configurations 1) both H 2) both T , and 3) one H-one T. Hence the probabilities for each configuration would be 1/3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bzlrrhmn (talk • contribs) 17:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Einstein as guru
This sentence has no relevence and no sources to confirm it. Hence it should be removed Truetyper 03:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Some Guru indeed! When Bose went to meet Einstein in Berlin, the Great Man gave him a calculation to do, which he did successfully in a couple of days. Einstein did not like his method and made insulting remarks. Ekalavya and Dronacharya case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bzlrrhmn (talk • contribs) 17:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] meeting einstein?
The third link below http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Bose.html
says that he did not meet Einstein, though he stayed in frequent correspondence with him.
The link also says he was brought up by his mother, while the Calcuttaweb biography mentions that she died when he was young. Anyone know the real deal?

[edit] pronunciation
Can someone add a soundalike pronunciation guide to the beginning? Tempshill 18:54, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bengali?
Undoubtedly he was Bengali, but how about mentioning that he was Indian? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.192.73 (talk) 14:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
So some Bengalis born in the nineteenth century might not have been Indian ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bzlrrhmn (talk • contribs) 17:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think his nationality and residence in infobox clearly states that he was Indian. Isn't it?GDibyendu (talk) 14:20, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I think "Indian Bengali" isn't appropriate. It should first be stated that he is from India. It is like saying Richard Feynman was an "American New Yorker physicist", or consider calling Lev Landau as a "Soviet Azerbaijani physicist". The fact that he was born in the state of West Bengal makes him a Bengali, but his first affiliation is Indian, his nationality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.77.253 (talk) 13:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
