In this talk, Prof Joshi, one of the greatest theoretical physicists in the world of science, talks about the life of Black holes. He also goes on to talk about education and its significance in the contemporary world.
Professor Pankaj Joshi, a theoretical physicist at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, enjoys deciphering these cosmic puzzles.
His recent book, “The Story of Collapsing Stars” (OUP), explores the death of massive stars and the subsequent formation of black holes or naked singularities through gravitational collapse of such stars. The event horizon on a black hole hides the singularity within it, which is a region of extreme conditions of arbitrary large densities and temperatures. However, visible or naked singularities would be observable, not being under the veil of an event horizon. So the existence of naked singularities would provide intriguing signatures of how the gravity and quantum forces work together, which is one of the greatest mysteries in Modern Physics and Cosmology, possibly leading us to the unification of physics.
