BEC - What is it and where did the idea come from?
What I have heard about Bose-Einstein condensation makes it sound really weird. What is it really, and how did someone think of it? So where does Einstein come in? Bose had trouble getting people to believe him and to publish his ideas in the scientific magazines of the day, so he sent them to Einstein. Einstein liked them, and he was a very important scientist at that time, so he used his influence to get them published. So all he did was use his influence, and for that he got his name on it?
