Chandrasekhar's work on stars and black holes yielded several honours but he struggled with opposition from senior scientists to 'Chandrasekhar limit'.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
India exited the Indo-Russian FGFA programme in 2018. But now it might procure at least 2 squadrons of Su-57 aircraft from Russia and evaluate Russian proposal to manufacture them in India.
Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
*Remembering Indian American Nobel laureate S. Chandrasekhar*
S. Chandrasekhar was born in Lahore (then a part of British India) on the *19th of October 1910* .Chandra, as he was popularly known, attended Hindu High School, Triplicane and Presidency College in Madras (current Chennai). He went to Cambridge in 1930. While on his voyage to England, worked out the famous “Chandrasekhar Limit” which has since become part of folklore of astrophysics.
He took my Ph.D degree at Cambridge in the summer of 1933. In the following October, he was elected to a Prize Fellowship at Trinity College for the period 1933-37. During his fellowship years at Trinity, he formed lasting friendships with several, including Sir Arthur Eddington and Professor E.A. Milne.
While on a short visit to Harvard University (in Cambridge, Massachusetts), at the invitation of the then Director, Dr. Harlow Shapely, during the winter months (January-March) of the 1936, he was offered a position of Research Associate at the University of Chicago by Dr. Otto Struve and President Robert Maynard Hutchins. He joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in January 1937. And he have remained at this University ever since. He eventually wanted to settle in India in early 1980’s but the award of Nobel Prize in 1983 thwarted those plans as he felt shifting country would look uncharitable.
When asked how he felt about India, having been away for so long, he made the following statement: “I always quote a famous remark of Nehru which I have quoted more than once. He said,’ the roots of an Indian grow deep into the ancient soil and though the future beckons, the past holds back’. That summarizes my feelings”.
Chandrasekhar has been held in the highest regard by the scientific communities both in India and the US and is known as one of the greatest astrophysicists of the 20th century. His worked on the origins and structures of stars, earning an important place in the world of science
In 1999 NASA sent the world’s most advanced X-ray telescope in space named in honour of S. Chandrasekhar called “Chandra X-Ray Observatory”.
Chandra died in Chicago on August 21, 1995, at the age of eighty-two. Throughout his life Chandra strove to acquire knowledge and understanding. According to an autobiographical essay published with his Nobel lecture, he was motivated “principally by a quest after perspectives.”
The theory of Blackhole as an evolutionary stages of a star never ends.During collision of Neutron Star emitting gravity waves of Gamma rays that cross the light velocity as observed in between circular and linear reversals cross the Einstein limit by crossing any distance at the rate of 5 times the velocity of light.Now we experience a new type of Rocketry dynamics requiring a new design from Elon Musk.
This day is my birth day as on19-10-1948 I fElton in the same way as Hon Chandra felt.I also contibute to many important citations to UK and American Universities and felt that India must have its own Nobel prize to solve the racial problems.This I wrote it boldly to Hon.ModhijI hoping that something will be taken care in future.
Today, no theory class on the evolution of stars can be complete without discussing ‘Chandrasekhar’s limit’. However, it is time now to treat the Eddington controversy just like the famous differences between Einstein and Niels Bohr. Who cares for the reason for which Eddington was unwilling to acknowledge Chandra when it was the latter who was awarded the Nobel Prize.
