i hear enough about him already with all those damn 'wave radio' and 'noise cancelling headphone' commercials that are always on

Enough about the labels already, what's really awesome is the thing that hides behind them.

Also, Bose sucks.

Boson Buddies was one of my favorite shows growing up.

I read that as "what's really awesome is this bosom."

_{/somebody turn this into a thread about bosomy indian women}

So, India is trying to attention whore? Besides its not like this is the only Boson. Let Higgs have his day.

Maybe Shah Rukh Khan can tell them something good....

Clearly you've never heard a Bose system using Monster cables.

Frankly, the racism in science that characterized the twentieth century has not abated. The truth is that white men continue to get credit they do not deserve for major discoveries and leadership positions in media releases and mass media because racism is institutional.

Let me get this straight... Bose categorized a set of particles, which are called Bosons. This includes gravitons and various other particles. Higgs is the one who actually theorized this particular particle which is discovered which just happens to be part of the larger class that Bose categorized?

He had nothing to do with this particle really. Feigned outrage over nothing. It's like trying to give credit to someone who came up with the taxonomical system for work discovering a specific new species.

That being said, I'm just going off the article. I know nothing whatsoever about physics, so those with knowledge feel free to correct me.

Oh, I came here for bosom

It always is. Oh, bosoN? Never mind!

In addition the boson should be pronounced "boshwon" because Satyendranath Bose's last name is pronounced /boʃu/.

/Overpriced crap

I dunno, been through my fair share of satellites for my desktop and the $250 set from Bose is the best I've owned so far.

/Overpriced? Yes.
//Crap? Hell no.

Thanks. I didn't need a boner for the next five years anyway.

There's Bose-Einstein condensates. Bose wrote to Einstein about a a certain quantum phenomena, Einstein elaborated on it a bit and largely made the theory what it remained. Bose wanted it to be called an Einstein condensate, Einstein wanted it to be called a Bose condensate, physicists decided they both get credit.

Come on and name me, Linnaeus!

From what I gathered after a brief Wikipedia read-through, Bose didn't even discover the Boson, it was just named in his honor. So either the Indians are upset over nothing or the AP just wanted a quick and easy story.

It's even stupider than that they're complaining that a guy who has a class of fundemental particles, a state of matter, and at least one equation every freshmen studying hard science commits to memory for the rest of their lives isn't getting enough recognition from the scientific community. This is almost as stupid as the shiat that comes out of Pakistan. The guy is effectively immortal. His name will outlast his nation. His contributions will only die with humanity; maybe not even then.

Shut the fark up, India.

I know, and why aren't they crediting Newton, who came up with the idea that mass and weight were not the same quantity in the first place? Or Ug the Neanderthal and his seminal tract "Ug see thing fall down, thing not fall up. Bird have flap to go up." which I think we can really all agree is at the root of this discovery.

Just flashed back to the mid-90's... thanks for that. Now that song will be stuck in my head all day.
