The Boson conundrum and the fishing tendency.
As scientists Einstein and Bose were not particle physicists. Less so Einstein did not even believe in Quantum Mechanics which later he had to recant, but Quantum Mechanics as developed by others (Schrodinger, Dirac, Heisenberg, Feynman, Bohr et al) is the most important basis of Particle Physics as a research field. Einstein while is credited…

Can Neutrinos produce sound? Scream like Fox?
Response: Neutrinos vibrate, YES. Much like anything else, since they have energy. But they do not vibrate at any particular frequency since their energy is not fixed. Their energy can vary widely and that makes them vibrate at different frequencies. Its worthwhile to mention that its not this frequency or oscillation which we were originally…

IMA (IoMA, Institute of Mathematics) now ISI.
IMA has a nice wind-born campus in the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, about 6 kms from the famous ancient caves. In the beautiful but wild rural parts of Bhubaneswar, perfect for research organization only if highly funded and having fabulous infrastructure. I think this will now come true.

Why some particles are fractional spin?
So spin 1/2 or spin-3/2 particles are clumped together. Which is why this behavior. Because the other types of particles which are only less in number have integral spins, they carry the force over large and un-clumped distances in spin-space. The spin angles in the phase space is integrally divided and these particles are free…
