In this universe, there are substances or elements that gradually emit energy, transforming from one element to another. For instance, from uranium to radium, from radium to radon, and finally, from lead to a halt. In 1919, the scientist Rutherford sought to understand all of this. Experiments commenced.

It was during this time that scientist Einstein put forward a formula, which is E=mc2. Alongside him, a Bengali scientist, Satyendra Nath Bose, published a numerical analysis, which was later recognised by Einstein, and it became known as the 'Bose-Einstein statistics.' Today, it is more commonly referred to as 'Bose statistics.'
