Kolkata boy Shouryya Ray solves 350-year-old maths problem set by Sir Isaac Newton

Shouryya Ray, a 16-year-old Kolkata boy who came to Germany without any knowledge of German, has managed to solve two fundamental particle dynamics theories which physicists have previously been able to calculate only by using powerful computers. Shouryya currently in Dresden has cracked a 350-year-old maths problem set by Sir Isaac Newton. His solutions mean that scientists can now calculate the flight path of a thrown ball and then predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall. moreShare/Save/Bookmark
