“If there is a tragic figure in modern physics it has to be
George Sudarshan from Kerala. Sudarshan has been passed over for
the Physics Nobel Prize on more than one occasion, leading to
controversy in 2005 when several physicists wrote to the Swedish
Academy, protesting that Sudarshan should have been awarded a
share of the Prize for the Sudarshan diagonal representation in
quantum optics, for which Roy J. Glauber won his share of the
prize. Worse, Glauber is credited with the Glauber-Sudarshan
P-representation, even though it was George Sudarshan who
developed it first, with Glauber only adopting it later.” – Dr.

Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva announced they had
obtained data that suggested they had found evidence for the
long sought after particle called the Higgs Boson. This was a
search that had taken 5000 scientists more than ten years and
cost over ten billion dollars making it the longest and most
expensive particle hunt in history
