First of all the person interviewing Prof Sen should have been more courteous. A person of such stature like Prof Sen who is now an inspiration to aspiring Physicist in India, the Asian & the European Region will sure leave his mark on the world stage. He is going to be remembered as another stalwarts like Satyendra Nath Bose and CV Raman. No doubt about that.. in fact he is a pioneer of creativity in the field of String Theory... Salute

It is always great to hear Prof. Sen, one of the stalwarts in String Theory. But however, the interviewer should be one who knows how to speak to such great persons. This type of 'learnt-from-wiki' interviewers are surely not a good choice.
The anchor is a PhD in Comms himself. He clearly stated at the start of the interview that they are going to only talk about physics. If you guys do not understand, he probably knows most of the answers himself, but he is acting as a curious science student here for folks who are curious about these things. Technically he is role playing. The program is called Eureka. This is not TIME magazine, what do you Page 3 ians expect? Alas! I do agree, interview with such detailed technical depth wouldn't ideally capture the audience. If you want to capture audience into science, you need a science communicator like Neil Degrass Tyson.
Man !! Just look at Ashoke sir , he is a sea of knowledge in particle physics field , he is so humbly answering this curious anchor ... It would have been great if the anchor were a knowledgeable person in the field of physics atleast !! Massive Respect to ashoke sir 🙏❣️
Why is the hoast reiterating the interviewee every time? It seems that he's clearing his doubt and also validating the professor. In the process he is talking more than the professor.
He is a Scientist. He is just trying make the conversation understandable to layman. But of course the conversation is little annoying for those who are familiar with under graduate level physics.
Science Research is a journey towards the Truth & Beauty of Nature experiencing an abstract feeling of happiness beyond all sorts of material success like reading a sublime poem or looking to a great painting or listening to a soulful song or a peaceful music.
The channel needs to choose very carefully the interviewer before they make such high profile programs to interview scientists of extreme international fame who is almost par with scientists like Edward Witten, Andre Linde and Alan Guth.Instead of asking him continuously physics question Dr Venkat could have also asked him interesting events on Professors Sen s Life on his journey and experiences of becoming one of the greatest sting theorist
Why the anchor is utilizing this platform to clear his doubts and getting feedback live from Doctor, to reiterate his understanding. Feels like a Job interview !!
@Divyanshu Pandey Perhaps you might want to watch more interviews on how science is discussed in Newsroom. The main job of a journalist is to bridge the information gap, by making important issues accessible to the widest possible audience. I think It wasn't a technique per say but uncalled interrupts serving the purpose for his own understanding only.
I heard the interview,but could not find any discussion related to string theory i.e S-duality or Sen Conjecture for which he won Breakthrough prize.Afterall many famous physicists believe string theory is non sense as it will never be experimentally verified.But I have seen youtube videos of world's greatest theoretical physicist Edward Witten related to string theory which were awesome. BTW I like only those fields of physics where I can invent a lot-such as semiconductor physics,materials science,quantum technology,fiber optics etc.Me(only 5 patent applications so far) & My cousin inventor Arpan Chakraborty(226 patents at present,his research advisor Shuji Nakamura has 650+ patents) are working on semiconductor technology...so may be I am not the right person to talk about theoretical physics.
the context in which the public discussions are carried out are very different to the technical discourse, if you are interested in theoretical physics, pick up a textbook and work through, you will have fun
What the hell is interviewer upto .............there are only questions about physics ........there must be some questions about his life ......and the state of physics in india ....why only Americans make documentaries about physics ?....why not Indians ?
Shaddy's Fan .....well I was talking about documentaries in hindi language ............ india has good physicists .....and there are students who are interested in physics ....but the Indian media is more busy in cricket ,politics and bollywood .......
Yes research is not promoted in india. Even i like physics but tbh except iisc and some others like iisers there are not much research institues. We should promote research.
Although this is a good show the hosts/anchors are really sub-standard confused yokels -be that 'Gauhar Raza' or now this 'T V Venkateswaran' -who are, it seems, either publicising themselves on this platform or clearing their doubts gained from quick knowledge from wiki. Why don't they shoot their questions in a brief and precise manner and give the guests the damn space to speak??? To hell with those irritating interruptions!
The kind of interview taken on this prestigious channel of renowned physicist is truly embarrassing. How the interviewer interrogates, the ignorance and unenthusiasm showed by him towards Science reveals there could only be better political interviews on this channel.
In the end the anchor is so mean that he says "You don't seem to be making too much money". For his kind information Ashoke Sen has won the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics which has a value of USD$ 3 million. Isn't it too much money for the anchor?
sen state on his website: _ My area of research is string theory, -- a theory that tries to give a unified description of all matter and the forces between them based on the postulate that the elementary constituents of matter are tiny one dimensional (string-like) objects instead of point particles. My specific research interests include S-duality, tachyon condensation, black hole entropy and superstring perturbation theory. _ so i'm trying to make sense of this... please someone - anyone - help me -- strings have one dimension ? so what is the point ?
- point is 0 dimensional - no width, no length, no height which means it doesn't have area or volume. you can define a point by giving it spacial coordinates but you cannot say point is big or small or medium. It just doesn't have any properties. Even the spacial coordinates makes sense to us because we live in 3 dimensional world and that is how we can define a point. point is 10 units on x axis, 20 units on y axis and 30 units on z axis. this tells you where the point is but it doesn't tell anything about the point because point has no value associated to it. it just is a dot with no width and no height and no length. - string (aka line) is 1 dimensional - only length. no width or height also no area or volume. You can say line is 10 units long, that is all you can say about a line. Line doesn't have width or height. Interesting this is you can say line is collection of infinite amount of points. You can imagine a line as infinite number of points marching in a direction. String theory states that particles like electrons are not particles but a string/line vibrating at frequency. This also confirms the fact that we can never know where exactly an electron is at any given point of time because its not a particle to give you exact position. its a string you can only know where the highest amplitude of the vibration is. - plane (square, circle, rectangle etc) are 2 dimensional - they have length and width which means they have area but no volume. Same with line and point, you can imaging a square to be collection of infinite lines of equal length stacked upon each other. Imagine if you have to fill a square with pen you will keep drawing straight lines one upon another until all of the square is filled right - Any object we see, humans, dogs, ball, paper everything is 3 dimensional object - has length, width and height so they have surface area and volume. Objects are collection of planes stacked one upon another. Cube is simple infinite number of squares stacked one upon another. Ball is infinite number of circles with different radius stacked one upon another etc.
The point is that all these assholes r wasting ur and ours time in this world by giving such idiotic theories like string theory which can't be even proved experimentally.Now go and cry.

I don't find that annoying. On the contrary it makes this interview better. The interviewer clearly is interested in physics and also has considerable knowledge of it. I would prefer him over another interviewer who is more interested in what Dr Sen eats in breakfast

Well, I have watched plenty of interviews of various physicists where the interviewer has no clue of what they are asking and it is just the interviewee who has to talk. Our guy here is just trying to make it easier for the layman to understand. Regardless, I guess different people can have different preferences.

I see interviews of such personalities I inspire to study more and make a contribution to the science....thank you..
are u in college?
Perhaps the greatest Indian physicist out there right now.
I once took a live lecture from him at IIT Kanpur. He's a mesmerizing teacher in classroom

27:00 that is what I am wanted to hear from him.
This proofs that the great, humble people without any ego are great scientists.
We need more interview like this with scientists 😊
He is India's pride...
I wish Rajya Sabha TV had a better host..
Man !! Just look at Ashoke sir , he is a sea of knowledge in particle physics field , he is so humbly answering this curious anchor ... It would have been great if the anchor were a knowledgeable person in the field of physics atleast !!
Massive Respect to ashoke sir 🙏❣️
He is great physicist.
Why is the hoast reiterating the interviewee every time?

1:50 So Prof. A. Sen knows தமிழ் 😊
Anchor is planning to sit in IIT jEE after this interview session
He is a scientist dude..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And he is reiterating what prof sen is saying .
He is a Scientist. He is just trying make the conversation understandable to layman. But of course the conversation is little annoying for those who are familiar with under graduate level physics.
Why is that iit shit is so overrated
IIT JEE is overrated and there are far better research institute than this
I love u ashok sir you are my inspiration....
He is a great theoretical physicist
I am heartbroken when he says "Higgs Particle" instead of "Higgs boson".
And I'm also much more heartbroken when he doesn't say it as GOD particle.
Usually it's called bosons so doesn't matter
a true indian talent
Anchor wants to show off what he learned from the crash course the night before
Yeah...the anchor has done good work on himself.
Hh
Anchor himself is an iitian.
Thnx rstv having eurka programme come up with these types of program

He is not a scientist, merely a science communicator. Not saying that it is being 'less' in any way whatsoever
Because that’s a technique interviewers use. It is to ensure that people are getting the right message.

Nice interview. Solutation should be Prof.
The real hero
HERE ANCHOR IS ALSO VERY KNOWLEGABLE..
Brilliant man but how many Indians know him well
Thank you so much !!
Student of A K Rayachaudari
If he interviews Sachin Tendulkar this anchor will ask to explain how in cricket one gets out LBW.
Lmaooooo
Why hasnt the Padma Bhushan been mentioned??
He should get Bharat Ratna
Just imagine Dr. Sen's frustration with this guy...
indian's power ......world is seeing

Just his undergraduate course instructor.

that was very very interesting...
Can any one tell me that where the strings comes from?
Inspiring.
How are the strings arranged to form sub atomic particle?
Superb person ❣️
Hri is great institute
Is matter made by certain arrangements of various energies that keeps it stable?

The anchor is so disturbing element.. not giving sir Ashok Sen to speak
The true indian
😊😊😊😊🎉 Indian worior 😮😮
This show used to be very interesting when the guests were allowed to talk about their research. Now it has been reduced merely to a publicity show.
the anchor, he ruined the show.
What is going on
It seems that he is taking exam of ashok sen sir.

To me also the amount of 3m$
is not very high for the life-long contribution of a native scientist .

anchor is senior scientist at Vigyan Prasar, New Delhi
Say something about Boson and Fermions .
Why not about God p articles .
Seriously the anchor is horrible
That's not stony brook university image. I am student there such fake stuff.
Pesuing PhD ?
Great scientist interviewed by a horrible interviewer
Very bad very very bad host!
Whatever he did research..doesn't exist in this world😂
How?
He teach in hri
Do you mean like the god you pray?
