• The Raman effect was one of the earliest proofs of the quantum nature of light.
• He along with Bhagavantam determined the spin of photons in 1932, which further confirmed the quantum nature of light.

“Science is a fusion of man’s aesthetic and intellectual functions devoted to the representations of nature. It is therefore the highest form of creative art.”
— Sir C V Raman, winner of 1930 Nobel Prize for Physics

NASA finally makes contact with Voyager 2 after longest radio silence in 30 years
On October 29, 2020, NASA re-established contact with its Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched from Earth in 1977. The craft is now traveling more than 18.8 billion km from Earth. It is beyond the heliopause, or boundary region, where the sun’s influence ends and the interstellar medium begins. And because the probe is so far away, the communication team had to wait over 34 hours for a reply. The 43-year-old space probe was left flying solo for 7 months while repairs were made to the radio antenna that commands it. The only radio antenna that can command the space probe – the Deep Space Station 43 (DSS43) antenna in Canberra, Australia – has been offline since March.

Six Not-So-Easy Pieces: Einstein's Relativity, Symmetry, and Space-Time
by
Richard P. Feynman
The notions that the flow of time is not a constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike. But, as Feynman shows so clearly and so entertainingly in the lectures chosen for this volume, these crazy notions are no mere dry principles of physics but are things of beauty and elegance. No one-not even Einstein himself-explained these difficult, anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto, than Richard Feynman.4 647
Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher
by
Richard P. Feynman
In these classic lessons, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the relationship of physics to other topics. With his dazzling and inimitable wit, Feynman presents each discussion with a minimum of jargon. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of modern times.4 647
Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions and the Future of the Cosmos
by
Michio Kaku
Is our universe dying? Could there be other universes in Parallel Worlds? World-renowned physicist and bestselling author Michio Kaku takes readers on a fascinating tour of cosmology, M-theory, and its implications for the fate of the universe.4 647
The Edge of Physics: A Journey to Earth's Extremes to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe
by
Anil Ananthaswamy
THE EDGE OF PHYSICS tells the story of our quest to understand the universe, as seen through the eyes of a traveller. It's a journey to the ends of the Earth -Lake Baikal in Siberia, the Atacama Desert in the Chilean Andes, an abandoned mine in North America, Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the subterranean lair of the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, the barren Karoo in South Africa, the frozen frontier of Antarctica and the Hanle Valley in the Indian Himalayas -in search of the telescopes, detectors and experiments that promise to shed light on the most pressing questions in physics and cosmology today.4 647

by
V. Balakrishnan
This textbook is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning the fundamental mathematical concepts and tools widely used in different areas of physics. The author draws on a vast teaching experience and presents a comprehensive and self-contained text which explains how mathematics intertwines with and forms an integral part of physics in numerous instances.4 647
Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity
by
Carlo Rovelli
Do space and time truly exist? What is reality made of? Can we understand its deep texture? Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his whole life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of what we know. In this mind-expanding book, he shows how our understanding of reality has changed throughout centuries, from Democritus to loop quantum gravity.4 647
"Time is an illusion, our naive perception of its flow doesn’t correspond to physical reality. Reality is just a complex network of events onto which we project sequences of past, present and future. The whole universe obeys the laws of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, out of which time emerges."
--The Order of Time, Carlo Rovelli
