Bose the Boss of Bass!

In 1956, while a graduate student at MIT, Dr. Bose purchased a high-end stereo system and was disappointed when it failed to meet his expectations. He later began extensive audio research aimed at fixing what he saw as key weaknesses plaguing such high-end systems. The principal weakness, as he saw it, was how the overall design of the loudspeakers and electronics failed to take into account psychoacoustics (the human perception of sound). Eight years later, he founded the company, charging it with a mission to achieve Better Sound Through Research (which is also the company's slogan).

It just occurred to me that there are a few well reputed Bose's. S.N. Bose, the founder of Boson, S.C. Bose, the freedom fighter, and J.C. Bose, Bengali Sci-Fi writer(!), plant Physicist, and physicist. Here is something that I did not know about J.C. Bose until now (some excerpts from Wikipedia).

In November of 1894, the Indian physicist, Jagdish Chandra Bose, demonstrated publicly the use of radio waves in Calcutta, but he was not interested in patenting his work. Bose ignited gunpowder and rang a bell at a distance using electromagnetic waves, proving that communication signals can be sent without using wires.

In 1896, the Daily Chronicle of England reported on his UHF experiments: "The inventor (J.C. Bose) has transmitted signals to a distance of nearly a mile and herein lies the first and obvious and exceedingly valuable application of this new theoretical marvel."

The 1895 public demonstration by Bose in Calcutta was before Marconi's wireless signalling experiment on Salisbury Plain in England in May 1897. But Tesla demonstrated radio communication earlier, in 1892 and 1893.

Bose was not interested in the commercial applications of the experiment's transmitter. He did not try to file patent protection for sending signals. In 1899, Bose announced the development of a "iron-mercury-iron coherer with telephone detector" in a paper presented at the Royal Society, London.

Later he received U.S. Patent 755840, "Detector for electrical distrubances" (1904), for a specific electromagntic receiver. He is not known for greatly contributing to the development of commercial radio communication and did not file any patents for transmission, but he deserves recognition for contributing to the development of radio.

I am curious if staple diet of fish and rice improves creativity. Because, this is a common denominator for Japanese and Bangla babus. As we know, the nutrients and climate influence the nature of plant species; hence the difference between Basmati rice and Jasmine rice, etc. Why can't it be true for humans and animals too?Nutrients I believe can override the genetic programming (no basis, just a hunch)
