Indian Astrophysicist Won Nobel Prize 50 Years After Being Mocked!

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar is a theoretical physicist renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to uncovering the mysteries of black holes. This video delves into Chandrasekhar's revolutionary "Chandrasekhar Limit" theory, developed in the 1930s during his early years as a young scientist, and how it ultimately earned him the Nobel Prize. Chandrasekhar proposed that massive stars could collapse into black holes or neutron stars instead of becoming white dwarfs. Despite his groundbreaking ideas, he faced rejection from the scientific community of his time, even being ridiculed by his mentor, Arthur Eddington. However, he persevered and continued his scientific pursuits.

This video highlights Chandrasekhar's journey and the challenges he overcame with determination. How did a theory that even a respected figure like Eddington opposed eventually gain acceptance in the scientific world decades later? Chandrasekhar not only predicted the existence of black holes but also left a lasting legacy in astrophysics through his extensive work on stellar evolution, galaxy dynamics, and the nature of stars.

Chandrasekhar’s inspiring story teaches us valuable lessons about passion, courage, and the power of asking questions. This revolutionary story in the history of science is not just about the triumph of one scientist but also about the importance of challenging societal norms and assumptions.

S. Chandrasekhar's thesis advisor was Ralph Fowler, not Eddington. Eddington may have been on thesis committee.

Scientists should still not be taken seriously when they talk that kind of talk about stars losing their fuel. Inevitably, everyone will consider and evaluate the fact that all stars are growing and they are growing faster than the planets are growing. However, all planets that are growing, are gaining distance within their orbital paths. That means the outer planets were once much closer to the sun. They may have even been earth-like, back when they were close enough to be within the Goldilocks zone, long before the earth was habitable.
