    Inventors change the world.
    *Thanks to Charles Kao* we can all enjoy the Internet at very fast speed, where such fiber cables exist.

      @@piyushagarwal7376 Actually it wasn't Narinder who did it originally.
      Guiding of light by refraction, the principle that makes fiber optics possible, was first demonstrated by Daniel Colladon and Jacques Babinet in Paris in the early 1840s. John Tyndall included a demonstration of it in his public lectures in London, 12 years later.[12] Tyndall also wrote about the property of total internal reflection in an introductory book about the nature of light in 1870.
      In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, light was guided through bent glass rods to illuminate body cavities.[15] Practical applications such as close internal illumination during dentistry appeared early in the twentieth century. Image transmission through tubes was demonstrated independently by the radio experimenter Clarence Hansell and the television pioneer John Logie Baird in the 1920s. In the 1930s, Heinrich Lamm showed that one could transmit images through a bundle of unclad optical fibers and used it for internal medical examinations, but his work was largely forgotten.
      In 1953, Dutch scientist Bram van Heel [nl] first demonstrated image transmission through bundles of optical fibers with a transparent cladding.[16] That same year, Harold Hopkins and Narinder Singh Kapany at Imperial College in London succeeded in making image-transmitting bundles with over 10,000 fibers, and subsequently achieved image transmission through a 75 cm long bundle which combined several thousand fibers.
      So really, who was first depends on which stage of development the technology was at. If you're talking about bundled optical fibres then it was Bram van Heel who first did a demonstration of Fibre Optics, and if you still want to say that it was Narinder Singh Kapany who did it first then you cannot mention him without Harold Hopkins.
      In actuality, it was the culmination of these men which inspired Charles Kao with the help of George Hockham to pioneer modern Fibre Optics by reducing attenuation in optical fibers below 20 decibels per kilometer (dB/km), making fibers a practical communication medium. A vast leap in the technology from simple image transmissions.
