Abstract:     This paper focuses on the life and contributions to physics of Satyendra Nath Bose (1894—1974), an outstanding Indian physicist from the early 20th century. Bose considered the indistinguishability and probability explanation of identical particles. He discovered the statistical law of photonic gases based on quantum mechanics. Additionally, he derived Planck’s formula for blackbody radiation. His work led to the discovery of Bose-Einstein statistics and Bose-Einstein condensates, which reflect Bose's outstanding contributions to the development of quantum physics.
