Great Theoretical Physicist - ECG Sudarshan


Today is the birthday of one of India’s greatest theoretical physicist - ECG Sudarshan - the man who proved Einstein wrong !!

Fondly known as ECG, his every heartbeat was for his love for physics.

Born in Kerala, he went on to the University of Texas, but his love for India continued. He was a visiting faculty in Indian colleges & loved igniting the spark of curiosity & knowledge in young minds.

He was a Vedantin & loved Carnatic music. In fact, you could see him in traditional clothes on many occasions.

Einstein said that nothing could travel faster than light, but ECG discovered tachyons, which could move faster

He was nominated for the Nobel a record 9 times but never won. In fact, people have won based on his research but he was ignored.

GREAT MEN : SUMANT MALGAONKAR

Yes. He was also instrumental in getting synchronous gears in trucks because the drivers were finding it tough to change gears when non synchronous gears were being used.

He also didn't believe in making supra normal profits because the demand for Tata trucks were high.

A genuine gentleman and whose contributions were recognized by a large hearted group 🙏

#EconomicDisaster. -23.9% GDP growth. Millions of jobs lost. GST unpaid. RBI sounding warning signals.

 

What should the #ModiGovernment be doing?

 

Is the current mess an “act of god”, as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has called it? Or is it a steady man-made catastrophe?

 

Dr RAGHURAM RAJAN — outspoken economist, former RBI governor & chief economist, IMF — calls out the gaps and offers some #RealisticRoadmaps.

 

What would he do in this situation? The man who predicted the 2008 financial crisis. Do watch.
