The Greatest Scientists

I have to say as a writer I am impressed by scientists and hence this piece.

One cannot say they are the greatest and few will disagree their eminence. 

I like Copernicus, Galileo, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. But I do like a lot of others like Schrodinger, et al.

More on them later....

There are arguments on some formulae's discovery but that is left for posterity. (It's a magical world and your children better learn to love numbers - and you can be instrumental in making them love maths!) The greatest - also because it is the simplest - is the one by Pythagoras. (570 - 495 BCE)  (It is also credited to the Babylonians as it is to Indians' way back in 1000 BCE etc.) a 2 +b 2  = c 2 Wow!  The greatest can always be argued. But few will disagree that Einstein 's theory of relativity is there at the top! e = mc 2 In school when we were explained this formula - it was simply "energy can neither be created or destroyed!" Nothing about the speed of light. But then we are too naive... Simply put it means that energy is equal t...

Whatever happens, happens for the good...

I must have been 17 when I first coined this principle which I advocated among my friends. Nirmal Kumar was one of them.
