C. V. Raman Quotes
To an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water. The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas.

This is a very important quotation for it proves that the solar system was known to be centered around the sun (and not the Earth) 1500 years before the Roman Catholic Church was persecuting Galileo for claiming the opposite. The church exercised such control over thoughts and expression that they suppressed what scientists had known for over 1000. Modern governments cannot suppress truth easily for 1000 days and often not more than a few days. The Romans learned it from the Egyptians so it was not a major secret until it was made one by the church This astronomer of Cleopatra’s Egypt, was the one who taught Julius Caesar about the Egyptian calendar which he adopted for Rome and the Western World.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was an Indian physicist known mainly for his work in the field of light scattering. With his student K. S. Krishnan, he discovered that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the deflected light changes wavelength and amplitude. This phenomenon was a new type of scattering of light and was subsequently termed as the Raman effect (Raman scattering). Raman won the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics and was the first Asian person to receive a Nobel Prize in any branch of science.
