Life of E C G Sudershan by Gopika S Nair

E.C.G Sudarshan had good edifiers while he was in Madras Christian College and his intellectual improvement provided inspiration for one's range of knowledge. Once he went abroad, he realised that Optics was an old fashion there. He described the experience at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.His contemporaries at TIFR were S S Jha, Raja Ramanna, Suryanarayan and K K Gupta. He had been assigned to the experimental work which involved identifying emulsion tracks of cosmic rays with great accuracy. During his first year at TIFR, Paul Dirac, the world-famous English Physicist guided them a course in quantum mechanics for six months. Later Sudarshan completed his PhD, he was given to associate at the Institute of Advanced Study. He was hired determinately. He was offered job by Schwinger.In the meantime, Bhabha withal offered him a job. Sudarshan joined Rochester. ECG Sudarshan verbally expressed that they could have nominated him for this prize for my PhD Thesis 1957. But h

The Quest of Sudarshan towards the world of Infinity - Nandanalakshmi M

ECG Sudarshan is one of the most eminent and prolific personalities from God's own country, who contributed unparalleled discoveries in the boundless world of physics. The interview "Thus Spoke Sudarshan" is a powerful rendition of his passion and crave towards scientific enquires. He believed in the immeasurable latitude of science, which ranges from the boiling point of our bed coffee to the linear speed of a fan's regulator. More than being a physicist,  Sudarshan believed in enabling the potential of one's life by looking it through the prism of science.  He shares his interest from childhood towards the scope of mathematical formulas and equations. Even when his companions considered mathematics as an arduous burden, he was simply able to solve even the most complicated equations within just a few seconds. Sudarshan considers that his passion towards science was one big reason for him to plump for a career in Madras Christian College. His experience with Tata

  Ennackal Chandy George Sudarshan (1931–2018) was an eminent scientist and theoretical physicist from Kerala. His contributions in physics range from formulating fundamental ideas in particle physics to understanding the quantum nature of light. Born in Pallam, Kottayam, he had his basic education in Kerala. Right from the school days, he showed exceptional skills in mathematics and physics. He pursued his college education at CMS and Madras Christian College which gifted him some really good science teachers. Physics gradually became his way to make sense of the world around. Later he joined Tata Institute of Fundamental Research as a fresh PhD student.At TIFR, he worked for a brief period with Homi Bhabha, who is known as ‘the father of Indian nuclear programme’. When he was at TIFR, he was scouted out by Robert Eugene Marshak, a distinguished nuclear physicist, who invited him to join Rochester for pursuing a PhD. Upon completion of your PhD, he was given a fellowship to join Harva

The Story of God’s own Physicist: E C G Sudarshan - Liya Bobby

Ennackal Chandy George Sudarshan (1931–2018) shortly known as E C G Sudarshan was born in Kottayam, Kerala in 1931. He studied at CMS College in his hometown before attending the University of Madras and later the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). He later studied and taught at the University of Rochester and then at the University of Texas at Austin, where he taught for over 40 years.  Sudarshan was India’s best known theoretical physicist, renowned for his contributions in several areas of physics, such as the V-A theory of the weak force and quantum optics, as well as the  first scientist to challenge Albert Einstein's theory, with his proposal of the existence of 'tachyons', particles that travel faster than light. His laurels of glory include being awarded the Dirac Medal of the ICTP in 2010, the Padma Vibhushan – second highest civilian award from the government of India – in 2007 and Kerala Sastra Puraskaram for lifetime accomplishments in science in 201

     E. C. G Sudarshan was the India’s best-kenned Indian-American theoretical physicist. Sudarshan has been credited with numerous contributions to the field of theoretical physics, including Glauber–Sudarshan P representation, V-A theory, tachyons, quantum Zeno effect, open quantum system and Lindblad equation, spin–statistics theorem, non-invariance groups, positive maps of density matrices, and quantum computation.       Ennackal Chandy George Sudarshan was born in Pallom, Kottayam. His father was a Revenue Supervisor for the Kerala Goverment Service. His mother was a scholastic edifier. Nobody in his family had a science background. He was intrigued with mathematics. He understood maths even without getting it explicated. His fellow students, very often, endeavored to test his cognizance by asking him to solve maths quandaries. He was impressed by the duration of a simple pendulum. He verbally expresses all these occured so naturally and he did it all without competition, for none

Biography of ECG Sudarshan- Nayantara B Terese

E.C.G. Sudarshan, the brilliant scientist from Kerala, was born in Kottayam in 1931 to a regular Catholic household. His contributions to tachyons and other physics foundations are outstanding. Being naturally exposed to a culture that places a high priority on education was typically beneficial. He was able to focus on the areas that aroused his attention when he went to school. Material science gradually become his method of gaining a better understanding of his surroundings. He preferred the energy of taking a gander at the world through the crystal of science, and he could do it for eternity. At the point when he was in Madras Christian School, he had a few excellent educators, and their training roused him to find out additional. While he was doing his lords at TIFR, he had been alloted to the test inestimable beam bunch that examined emulsion tracks. The work included recognizing the emulsion tracks of infinite beams with extraordinary accuracy. He had extraordinary trouble doing

Jesse Owens' staggering tally of four medals at the 1936 Olympics was a fitting response to Hitler and shattered his idea of using the event for the Nazi regime. While Owens’ feat was unique, he might have lost one of his gold medals had it not been for the help from an unlikely ally – German long jumper Luz Long. When Owens was struggling to qualify the trial round for a long jump event, Long compelled him to give his best and shared the right advices to excel the jump. Though Long was competing in the same event as an official representative of Hitler himself, he showed no fear in befriending Owens. In the finals, Jesse won his gold medal but the friendship he formed with Long was his greatest Olympic prize.  Luz Long's conduct was the defining moment in the 1936 Olympics. I n the many years that followed and probably for many more years to come, he will definitely be remembered as the person who embodied the Olympic spirit. Hence, this tale of humanity will remain glorious i
