    Jayant Narlikar: The man who sifted through stardust

    Jayant Narlikar, a renowned Indian scientist, passed away. He was famous for his work in cosmology. Narlikar was also known for his science communication skills. He collaborated with Fred Hoyle on stellar nucleosynthesis. They proposed an alternative to the Big Bang theory. Narlikar established IUCAA, a center for astronomy. He supported the panspermia theory. His contributions to science are significant.

    Jayant Narlikar passes away at 87, who was the celebrated astrophysicist, Padma Vibhushan awardee?

    Jayant Vishnu Narlikar, a distinguished astrophysicist and science communicator, has died at 87. Globally recognized for his cosmology contributions and alternatives to the Big Bang theory, he founded the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA). Narlikar received numerous accolades, including the Padma Vibhushan, and was celebrated for popularizing science through books and media.

    How a physicist's Greek alphabet joke overshadowed his student’s legacy on the origins of the universe

    In 1948, a young physicist made a groundbreaking discovery about the origins of the universe—only to have his moment eclipsed by a joke. Ralph Alpher’s pioneering Big Bang research became famous not for its content, but for a pun his advisor slipped into the author list. Discover how a cosmic revelation got entangled in an alphabet gag that rewrote scientific credit.

    Why you keep rewatching 'Friends', and what It really says about your mental health?

    A recent study reveals that rewatching favourite TV shows like Friends or The Big Bang Theory is more than just habit — it’s a form of emotional self-care. Nostalgia, once seen as a sign of poor mental health, is now recognised as a psychological resource that boosts mood, self-worth, and social connection, especially during stress or loneliness.

    Is the universe slowly rotating? Shocking new theory could solve the cosmic expansion mystery

    A new study proposes that the universe may rotate at a nearly undetectable pace, offering a possible solution to the long-standing “Hubble tension.” By slightly adjusting standard models to include a slow spin, researchers found the results aligned with previously conflicting data on the universe’s expansion rate—without violating any known laws of physics.

    Singapore will go extinct like the Roman empire: Elon Musk blames being rich as the main reason for population decline

    Elon Musk has reignited concerns over population decline, linking it to civilisational collapse and low birth rates in wealthy nations. Drawing historical parallels with the Roman Empire, Musk blames modern hedonism and envy. He also warns that countries like Korea and Japan could face demographic extinction. However, biologists say the global population is still growing and argue that birth rate issues are localised—and solvable. Experts urge focus on real solutions over sensationalism.
