Jayant Vishnu Narlikar: A mind that searched for an endless Universe.
An obituary by Department of Physics, Gauhati University, Guwahati-781014, Assam, India
Indian theoretical cosmologist and astrophysicist, Jayant Vishnu Narlikar passed away on 20th May, 2025 at the age of 87 (19th July 1938 – 20th May 2025). After completing his early education in Banaras Hindu University, Narlikar carried out his research studies in theoretical cosmology under the supervision of Sir Fred Hoyle at Cambridge. In 1972 he came back to India by taking a Professorship in Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai. In 1988 he became the founder Director of the Inter University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA).
Narlikar’scourageous and iconic voyage in cosmology against established wisdom includes formulation of an alternative to Big Bang cosmology, known as Quasi Steady State theory, conformal theory of gravity (known as Hoyle-Narlikar theory), white hole explosion and high energy astrophysical phenomena. He was an Associate of the Royal Astronomical Society, UK and was awarded Padma Bhusan (1965) and Padma Vibhusan (2004). He was an excellent teacher in higher education, and a pioneering science communicator of India who promoted astronomy through popular articles, science fiction, popular books and television.
We carry fond memory of his visit to our department as a speaker of P. C. Mahanta Memorial Lecture
The members of Department of Physics, Gauhati University pay homage to this life in science departing for the ethereal realms.
