Hello everyone. I wonder if we can show the name of Bose in Bengali script. I don't know much about including different fonts in Wikipedia articles, maybe someone else has some ideas here. Happy editing, Wile E. Heresiarch 15:56, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bengali script
Done.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tanzeel (talk • contribs).
Hi,
I'm wondering if the article was intended to read 'disagreed with observation', rather than 'agreed with observation' - as, how can something that agrees with obs be a contradiction ? 80.219.58.180 19:52, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Doh! Just re-read it a couple times again.. and see what is meant now.. :-) Sorry.. 80.219.58.180 19:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Note: January 9, 2006: Flawed and misleading information under the title: "The Error that wasn’t." Flawed and misrepresented information all over. Will be edited. Direct students are in consultation & S. N. Bose Center in Kolkata, India. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.20.225.118 (talk • contribs).
[edit] The coin flipping example
I may be completely mistaken and perhaps do not know much about probability, but the coin flipping anology given under the section, "The error that wasn't" seems to be incorrect. If two identical, fair coins are flipped, we will find that we get two heads for 25% of the throws, not one third of the throws as mentioned. We will also get a heads-tails combination for 50% of the throws and two tails for 25% of the throws. If this is correct, that anology should probably be removed, or modified appropriately - perhaps it should mention the heads-tails combination that occurs 50% of the time instead.
[edit] meeting einstein?
The third link below http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Bose.html
says that he did not meet Einstein, though he stayed in frequent correspondence with him.
The link also says he was brought up by his mother, while the Calcuttaweb biography mentions that she died when he was young. Anyone know the real deal?

[edit] pronunciation
Can someone add a soundalike pronunciation guide to the beginning? Tempshill 18:54, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
