Qualitative research does not need to have a sophisticated laboratory; rather it needs innovative ideas and to make it worthy with the existing facilities. This has been proved recently by a shy Scientist, Ashoke Sen from Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad. He is working on string theory, which basically describes the fundamental laws that drive everything we see around us. String theory combines quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of relativity. It is completely a mathematical theory and does not have any strong experimental explanation till date. It hopes to explain almost everything about matter and energy around us and universe as a whole. As such, String theory is termed shortly as the theory of everything.
In August 2012, Ashoke Sen was awarded the prestigious Fundamental
Physics award for his contribution to the ''String Theory''. The award
was started by Russian entrepreneur “Yuri Milner” and usually called as
the Russian Novel Prize. The monetary value of this award is known to be $3m,
almost triple of the Novel Prize. Today this reclusive
professor is one among the richest professor in the world. His contribution to
the science should be highly appreciated by everyone.
Think unique, think crazy
and be a miracle!!!
