Who was Chandrasekhar?
Professor Subramanyan chandrasekhar, an American physicist of indian descent, was the 1983 recipient of the prestigious Nobel prize in physics.
The renowned theoretical physicist gained recognition for his research on the fundamental mechanisms that impact the composition and development of stars. During his career, professor chandrasekhar contributed to our current understanding of a wide range of physics issues, including radiative transmission, white dwarfs, stellar dynamics, quantum theory, and stellar structure.
Prof. S chandrasekhar was born into a Tamilian family in Lahore, pakistan under the british Raj. He finished his undergraduate studies at the university of madras and his master's and doctoral degrees at Trinity College, Cambridge.

Elon Musk and the peculiar names he gives his children
With several partners, Musk has fathered 11 children in all. He is well-known for giving his kids unusual names.
To everyone's astonishment, the tesla CEO and artist Grimes welcomed a baby in May 2018; in 2020, they gave him the name "X AE A-XII."
X's parents were forced to modify his name since "Ά" and "12" were not allowed to be used as part of the english alphabet, therefore they had to change it from X Æ A-12. By now, the youngster is two years old.
In december 2021, the couple received a second child through surrogacy, whom they called "Exa Dark Siderael Musk." Afterwards, Exa was given the moniker "Y."

"Techno Mechanicus" is the name of the third kid that Musk and Grimes secretly welcomed. Right now, not much is known about the youngster.
Details regarding the other kid remain unclear, but part of the name of one of the twins, which Musk discreetly greeted with Neuralink director of Operations Shivon Zilis, is now public knowledge.
Shivon, who is also Elon Musk's identical father, confirmed that the child's middle name is Chandrasekhar. "Haha, yes, that's true," Shivon remarked. Although we just call him Sekhar, the name was selected to recognise both the remarkable Subramanyan chandrasekhar and the ancestry of our children.
