Centre for Cosmology and Science Popularization
4th Symposium of the BRICS Association on Gravity, Astrophysics and Cosmology will take place from December 17th to 19th, 2024 at (SGT University)
Research
Research on cutting-edge cosmological topics and providing an all-around intellectual package.
Science Popularization
Popularizing science and creating a scientific temper in the general population.
Faculty
CCSP faculty has a strong network of research collaborations both nationally and internationally.
Thanu Padmanabhan
(1957 – 2021)
Professor Thanu Padmanabhan was an Indian theoretical physicist and cosmologist. He was one of the leading world scientists in the field of Astrophysics and Cosmology.
The centre is shortly going to launch
its Ph.D. program. Students with
good academic record are encouraged to send their CV to
Science advances by challenging the
prevalent paradigm. Thanu Padmanabhan, who was affectionately called “Paddy” did
his science adhering to this dictum, and brought to light new pathways showing
new vista. It is important to ask searching and challenging questions of concept
and principle for gaining new insights leading to revealing perception and
perspective. I believe that the Centre named after Paddy, “Thanu Padmanabhan
Centre For Cosmology and Science Popularization (CCSP)” would adhere to his
spirit of doing science of challenging the paradigm. I would first like to
congratulate the SGT University on establishing a research centre celebrating
the monumental contributions of Thanu Padmanabhan to science of gravitation and
cosmology. I wish to extend my best wishes to the CCSP, and wish it all success
in living upto the ideal it has set for itself.
Mysteries of early and late universe
Inflation
The exponentially rapid expansion of the nascent universe responsible for the quantum fluctuations that seeded the structure present in the universe
Hot Big Bang
The theory of the birth and evolution of the universe.
Dark Matter
Matter that does not shine, can only be felt gravitationally.
Dark Energy
A form of exotic matter responsible for the late-time acceleration of the universe.
