Extractions: Indian astrophysicist who studied at Cambridge, then moved to America and the University of Chicago. He has contributed significantly to many disparate branches of physics, including rotational figures of equilibrium, stellar interiors, black holes radiative transfer hydromagnetic stability, stellar dynamics, and many others. Chandrasekhar's name is immortalized in connection with the Chandrasekhar limit which is the largest mass a white dwarf can attain. The theory underlying this result was viciously attacked by Eddington , who used nonsensical and contradictory arguments to try to show it invalid. Chandrasekhar wrote in a letter home "The differences are of a 'political' nature. Prejudices! Prejudices! Eddington is simply stuck up! Take this piece of insolence. "If worse comes to the worst we can believe your theory. You see I am looking at it from the point of view not of the stars but of Nature.' As if the two are different. 'Nature' simply means Eddington personified as an Angel! what arguments could anyone muster against such brazen presumptuousness?" (Wali 1991, p. 133). Despite their scientific animosity, the two somehow remained friendly on a social level.

Fowler , won the 1983 Nobel Prize for Physics for key discoveries that led to the currently accepted theory on the later evolutionary stages of massive stars. Chandrasekhar was the nephew of Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman , who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930.
