A Nepali physicist, Dr Yadav Pandit, is involved in a trailblazing research to find how the subatomic particles that filled the early universe transformed into the ordinary matter of today’s world.
Coming from an average Nepali family from Pyuthan district, Pandit, currently rubs shoulders with nuclear physicists and scientists involved in cutting edge researches in basic science.
A product of public school system of Nepal, Pandit has had an inspiring career in a subject that is considered too difficult and technical. Physics itself is considered to be a difficult subject and "nuclear physics" is an area where probably most talented brains work.
But humble backgrounds and simple upbringing did not pose any obstruction to Pandit’s progress,
Pandit is working with a team of scientists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States where they are trying to recreate matter at the extreme temperatures and densities that existed just after the Big Bang by smashing together ordinary atomic nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider<http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/> (RHIC).
At peak performance, this extraordinarily versatile atom smasher at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory reproduces the primordial soup thousands of times per second. Using sophisticated detectors to track what happens as exotic particles emerge from the trillion-degree collision zone and “freeze out” into more familiar forms of matter, scientists are turning up interesting details about how the transition takes place.
