Serendipity: Blessings when fortunate

Satyen Bose, the pride of Bengalis, was then teaching quantum theory at Dhaka University. The quantum revolution was going on all over the world. Great men like Einstein and Bohr are engaged in research. Planck has already published his quantum theory. But there was a problem with his given equation. Considering the general readers, I did not go that way anymore.

So, that problem had an effect on Einstein's Nobel-winning photoelectric action and Bohr's quantum atomic model. Scientists like Einstein and Debbie could not solve Planck's equations.

Our Satyen Bose, one day while teaching students, made a 'mistake' in calculating Planck's quantum equation. Within moments, Bose noticed that quantum theory had partially solved that problem! Satyen Bose was shocked.

He carefully picked up the mistake he had made. Utilizing the knowledge of statistics, after a long perseverance, he solved the problem of the whole quantum theory! In 1924 he sent a letter to Switzerland, to Einstein himself.

Then all the history .. established 'Bose-Einstein statistics'. Particles that adhere to these figures are called boson particles. With Satyen Bose, Dhaka University became a golden page in history.

But readers, have you noticed one thing? Like many scientists, Satyen Bose has made history by making 'mistakes'. Such incidents are not new in the world of science. Such incidents are Serendipitous incidents!

In the translation of Serendipity, the Bangla Academy says, miraculously auspicious and unexpected discovery, in short, fortune-telling.

The number of these serendipities in the history of science is not small. According to some, this serendipity is more than 50% of the discoveries made by science!

Due to bad weather, unplanned experiments, Henry Becquerel explained the true nature of radioactivity. Forget to turn off a little switch Wilhelm Rontgen. Received the first Nobel Prize in Physics. The groundbreaking X-ray was discovered at that time by his hand.

The discovery of penicillin was not intended by Alexander Fleming on vacation. The beginning of the discovery of TNT is merely an accident. At the king's command, Chinese scientists made gunpowder to make Amarsudha Elixir. The discovery of Rutherford's nucleus, the discovery of the nuclear fission of the unknowing firm, saccharin and superglue, the heart pacemaker or microwave, the Teflon or the pulsar - all have small and large unexpected consequences, such as serendipity.

The term serendipity originated in a 1754 letter from the English writer Horace Walpole. Serendipity is not a Greek or Latin word. Serendip is the Persian original name of Sri Lanka. Walpole read a fairy tale called The three princes of Serendip, where all the unexpected good things happened to the princes.

Judging by the possibilities, something could happen!

Let the unexpected good things make our life more beautiful, this hope ends here.
