Could it really be possible?

The last four names are present in sci-math textbooks at every level. However, Leonhard Euler, the most brilliant and the most proliferous mathematician of all time, remains invisible. He is the person behind Euler’s constant, Euler’s polyhedron […] Written by Hafsa Ahsan 2018-07-022018-10-13 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked Physical Sciences Technology Gravitational Waves: A Phenomenal Saga The universe wobbled, sending quivers which were received by two massive machines on the Earth, thereby giving us a new tool to perceive the cosmos, and opening up new realms in the world of physics.
