A Nobel Prize-winning pioneer of artificial intelligence is stepping aside from his role leading Google’s work on the technology, as the company faces pressure to keep up in the AI race.
Google’s stock was down around 4 percent following the news.
SITUATION DETECTED: John Jumper, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for AlphaFold along with Demis Hassabis, has left Google DeepMind to join Anthropic.
Stockholm, 1930.
The Nobel ceremony begins.
One name is missing.
Meghnad Saha nominated again. Ignored again.
His equation explained how stars work—how light reveals temperature, pressure, composition.
Every telescope, every observatory, every astrophysics textbook relies on it. His math made it possible.
He came from nothing, a poor village in Bengal. He taught himself physics while others doubted him.
He was nominated for the Nobel Prize five times.
Five times, the committee said no. The scientist who used his equation won prizes.
The man who gave them the tools received silence.
He died in 1956, still waiting.
The stars he decoded shine every night.
His name almost forgotten. Remember Meghnad Saha.
