Extractions: Indian astrophysicist who studied at Cambridge, then moved to America and the University of Chicago. He has contributed significantly to many disparate branches of physics, including rotational figures of equilibrium, stellar interiors, black holes radiative transfer hydromagnetic stability, stellar dynamics, and many others. Chandrasekhar's name is immortalized in connection with the Chandrasekhar limit which is the largest mass a white dwarf can attain. The theory underlying this result was viciously attacked by Eddington , who used nonsensical and contradictory arguments to try to show it invalid. Chandrasekhar wrote in a letter home "The differences are of a 'political' nature. Prejudices! Prejudices! Eddington is simply stuck up! Take this piece of insolence. "If worse comes to the worst we can believe your theory. You see I am looking at it from the point of view not of the stars but of Nature.' As if the two are different. 'Nature' simply means Eddington personified as an Angel! what arguments could anyone muster against such brazen presumptuousness?" (Wali 1991, p. 133). Despite their scientific animosity, the two somehow remained friendly on a social level.

Extractions: In Madras, I attended the Hindu High School, Triplicane, during the years 1922-25. My university education (1925-30) was at the Presidency College. I took my bachelor's degree, B.Sc. (Hon.), in physics in June 1930. In July of that year, I was awarded a Government of India scholarship for graduate studies in Cambridge, England. In Cambridge, I became a research student under the supervision of Professor R.H. Fowler (who was also responsible for my admission to Trinity College). On the advice of Professor P.A.M. Dirac I took my Ph.D. degree at Cambridge in the summer of 1933. In the following October, I was elected to a Prize Fellowship at Trinity College for the period 1933-37. During my Fellowship years at Trinity, I 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 Shapley, during the winter months (January-March) of 1936, I was offered a position as a Research Associate at the University of Chicago by Dr. Otto Struve and President Robert Maynard Hutchins. I joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in January 1937. And I have remained at this University ever since.

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar October 19 August 21 ) was an Indian American physicist astrophysicist and mathematician , who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics . He was an Indian Tamilian, born in Lahore British India (now Pakistan ). He attended the Presidency College in Chennai (then Madras), where he graduated with a degree in physics. He was known to the world as simply "Chandra". It was not just at mathematics that Chandra excelled. As a youth, he had also mastered German, devoured everything from Shakespeare to Hardy , and could read up to 100 pages in an hour 'quite easily'. Chandrasekhar was the nephew of Nobel-prize winning physicist C. V. Raman He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in for his studies on the physical processes important to the structure and evolution of stars , though he was upset that the citation mentioned only his earliest work, seeing this as a denigration of a lifetime's achievement. His lifetime's achievement may be glimpsed in the footnotes to his Nobel lecture He served on the University of Chicago faculty from until his death in at the age of 84. He became a

Extractions: The award of a Nobel Prize carries with it so much distinction and the number of competing areas and discoveries are so many, that it must of necessity have a sobering effect on an individual who receives the Prize. For who will not be sobered by the realization that among the past Laureates there are some who have achieved a measure of insight into Nature that is far beyond the attainment of most? But I am grateful for the award since it is possible that it may provide a measure of encouragement to those, who like myself, have been motivated in their scientific pursuits, principally, for achieving personal perspectives , while wandering, mostly, in the lonely byways of Science. When I say personal perspectives, I have in mind the players in

He studied at the University of Calcutta, then taught there in 1916, taught at the University of Dacca (1921-45), then returned to Calcutta (1945-56). He did important work in quantum theory, in particular on Planck.html's black body radiation law. Bose sent his work Planck's Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta (1924) to Einstein. He wrote a covering letter saying:- Respected Sir, I have ventured to send you the accompanying article for your perusal and opinion.
