Notă biografică
C. S. Unnikrishnan is a professor of physics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, India. His research interests are fundamental issues in gravity and quantum physics, and novel metrology. He was a visiting scientist at the Kastler-Brossel Laboratory, École Normale Supérieure, Paris. The first Bose-Einstein condensate in India was produced in his laboratory at TIFR. Prof. Unnikrishnan’s major contribution is the paradigm of Cosmic Relativity, a theory of relativity and dynamics based on the factual gravity of the matter in the Universe, supported by many experimental results. Recently, he formulated a completion of Hamilton’s action mechanics to a universal mechanics, solving the foundational problems of quantum mechanics. Prof. Unnikrishnan is a proposer-member of the LIGO-India project, for a Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory in India, and a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration that detected the gravitational waves. His other interests are music and films, especially the structure and process of their creation.
Descriere
This book is unique and exceptional in any recent literature that deals with the notion of physical time rigorously, both logically and empirically. The central theme is the intimate relation between physical time and cosmic gravity.
