- W160773016 abstract "When I was about twelve I read portions of the college textbook of physics that my elder brother was using. In it I came across the formula for the period of swing of a simple pendulum. It appeared very remarkable to me that by using mathematical equations of motion, one could compute the period and then verify its validity in the laboratory, or on the playground! This wonder of theoretical physics—to be able to predict the values of physical quantities using pen and paper—continues to be a source of wonderment and joy. Such are the isolated but sig nificant episodes that shape our life's path. I went on to study physics at the university and later at research institutions; but I owe my commitment to the simple pendulum. The amazing thing in science is that the theoretical insights are verified experimentally. Experience is the final arbiter, however elegant the theory. Experiments, however, cannot be usefully carried out without some theoretical framework. And as in other contexts, a benevolent mentor and worthy co-workers are very desirable. But despite what other people say or feel, ultimately you have to arrive at your own conclusions. I was privileged to work with a great teacher and guide for my doctoral work. In turn, I have been a guide to a score and ten students, some of whom are smarter than me, and in turn act as my mentors on occasion. These observations, gleaned from my journey as a scientist, are intended to show the roles of mentor, theoretician and experimenter in the pursuit of pure science. All of them are essential. They appear as common elements and fundamental to the modes of exploration and discovery which the human mind follows through various dis" @default.
