A biography of sorts here. http://uk.geocities.com/aa_spaceagent/abdul-ahad.html I'm not aware of any serious scientific work or achievements, but he has a keen interest. |

It seems that this Javid guy is trying to promote Abdul Ahad as a
distinguished scientist judging by the results of a google search I've done. Obviously, the standard of science in Bangladesh is pretty grim if poor ol' Abdul Ahad is listed as a prominent bangladishi scientist-lol! "OG" wrote in message ...

yeah but i think he discovered the ahad's constant and ahad radius in
2004. Jerry Louis wrote on Jollyrogers astronomy forum: "Most folk go out on clear nights and gaze up at the sky to see stars looking like distant campfires, or pin pricks, or diamonds, or glittering jewels, as they would describe them. But when Abdul Ahad looked up, he saw something totally different in the night sky: he saw music! Yes, no joke. He writes in his epic paper on the interstellar night sky: "Now imagine if we could somehow record and analyse the pitch, quality and tone of each individual note of this 'music' of the cosmic night sky... How loud would it sound in total, and would it have a distinctive tune!? " His total "music" in the context of the night sky was of course an integration of star light into his so-called 'Ahad illumination' or 'Ahad constant' figure of circa 1/300th of a full moon. The man and his epic work are now in the history books. In spring of 2004, he was the first person in scientific history to determine how much overall light the universe throws onto an observer if one removes all light emanating from our own star - the nearby Sun. And because he was the first person to estimate the universe's total flux external to our solar system, by calculating the point of equilibrium of that flux with the flux produced by our own Sun, he worked out the [" Ahad Radius "] of a sphere dubbed the 'Ahad sphere' or the 'Ahad sphere of solar illuminance'. His calculations showed that for an interstellar traveller heading out of our solar system toward the stars, at roughly 11,500 astronomical units or just over one trillion (10^12) miles, the total amount of light received from the Sun would be exactly the same as the total amount of light coming from all sources external to our solar system. He writes: "Beyond the outer edges of this theoretical sphere, the feeble currents of light coming from its core (i.e. our own distant Sun) will cease to make any noticeable ripples in the calm waters of the surrounding cosmic ocean..." and his first ark to alpha centuri will make a serious horror movie http://uk.geocities.com/aa_spaceagen...acentauri.html |
