Jayant Narlikar is an Indian astrophysicist and emeritus professor at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA). I met him when I arrived at UC San Diego in 2004 and have been forever impressed. I don’t always agree with him, but that’s ok. You won’t want to miss Mangala and her scintillating contributions to math!
With Sir Fred Hoyle, Jayant developed the conformal gravity theory, known as Hoyle–Narlikar theory. It synthesizes Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and Mach's principle. It proposes that the inertial mass of a particle is a function of the masses of all other particles, multiplied by a coupling constant, which is a function of cosmic epoch.
Narlikar completed his BSc degree from Banaras Hindu University in 1957. In 1960, he won the Tyson Medal for astronomy. During his doctoral studies at Cambridge, he won the Smith's Prize in 1962. After receiving his PhD degree in 1963 under the guidance of Fred Hoyle, he served as a Berry Ramsey Fellow at King's College in Cambridge and earned a master's degree in astronomy and astrophysics in 1964. He continued to work as a Fellow at King's College until 1972. In 1966, Fred Hoyle established Institute of Theoretical Astronomy in Cambridge, and Narlikar served as the founding staff member of the institute during 1966–72.
In 1972, Narlikar took up Professorship at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Mumbai, India. At the TIFR, he was in charge of the Theoretical Astrophysics Group. In 1988, the Indian University Grants Commission set up the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) in Pune, and Narlikar became the Founder-Director of IUCAA. In 1981, Narlikar became a founding member of the World Cultural Council.
Narlikar is known for his work in cosmology, especially in championing models alternative to the popular Big Bang model. His research work has involved Mach's Principle, quantum cosmology, and action-at-a-distance physics.
Narlikar has received many national and international awards and honorary doctorates. India's second-highest civilian honor, Padma Vibhushan, was awarded to him in 2004 for his research work.
He is an Associate of the Royal Astronomical Society of London, and a Fellow of the three Indian National Science Academies. Apart from his scientific research, Narlikar has been well known as a communicator of science through his books, articles, and radio & television programs. For these efforts, he was honoured in 1996 by UNESCO with the Kalinga Prize.
He was featured on Carl Sagan's TV show Cosmos: A Personal Voyage in the late 1980s. In 1989, he received the Atmaram Award by Central Hindi Directorate. He received the Indira Gandhi Award of the Indian National Science Academy in 1990.

Are singularities real? Or are we just fooling ourselves? And if they’re not real, why do we need a theory of quantum gravity? Three years ago, I had the privilege of discussing this with two of my favorite people – Sir Rogen Penrose and Eric Weinstein! Here’s a clip from the encounter. Enjoy!

The great Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg once said that physics thrives on crisis. And in 1989, he said physics was short on crises. But luckily for us today, physics is full of them! In this episode, we will discuss two of them: the Hubble tension and primordial magnetic fields. Enjoy!
Key Takeaways:
00:00:00 Intro
00:00:24 Is there a primordial magnetic field?
00:01:33 What are galaxy clusters?
00:03:45 The impact and origin of cosmic magnetic fields
00:08:36 Detection methods
00:10:55 How does this relate to the Hubble tension?
00:12:00 Outro
