Half of the 2020 Nobel Prize is awarded for discovering a super-massive black hole at the centre of our Galaxy. One of the first indications of the existence of a black hole at the centre of a galaxy was found by Jennison and Das Gupta in 1953 while carrying on a radio observation of the source Cygnus A. Mrinal Das Gupta, who was doing his PhD at Manchester University at the time of this discovery, spent the major part of his professional career at Calcutta University. We give an outline of Das Gupta's life and explain the scientific significance of his discovery.

2011年,诺贝尔物理学奖授予了1998年发现非零宇宙学常数的科学家。这一发现非常重要,值得获得诺贝尔奖。然而,几年前已经发表了几篇论文(Paal,Horvath,& Lukacs 1992; Holba et al. 1992,Holba et al. 1994),从观测数据中发现了非常相似的发现。
尽管他是诺贝尔奖的获得者,尽管他的成就很伟大,但朱利安·施温格几乎是我们这个时代的无名英雄。他是相对不为人知的一般人口,即使在物理学界,他是一个著名的理论家和物理教师。1965年,他与理查德·费曼(Richard P. Feynman)和友永信一郎(Shin'ichiro Tomonaga)共同获得诺贝尔物理学奖,以表彰他们对量子电动力学(QED)的发展。在这三位杰出的物理学家中,甚至在所有从事量子电动力学研究的物理学家中,他的工作是最严格和数学上最精确的。
