Guest lecture on Exotic Stars, Black Holes, Wormholes and Time Travel

Dec 18, 2017

Dr. Daya Shankar Kulshreshtha, Former Professor of Theoretical Physics, Department of Physics and Astrophysics, University of Delhi delivered an interactive Guest lecture on "Exotic Stars, Black Holes, Wormholes and Time Travel" at University Campus.
 
Starting from the Newtonian laws, he creatively developed the concept of Quantum Field Theory, Special Theory of Relativity, General Theory of Relativity and Finally Explained the concept of Planck's time. Students of Science and Engineering were highly enthusiastic to know about the development of Black holes and neutron stars from Stellar Nebula. The concept of time travel through the wormhole fascinated the students as well as faculty members.  Dr. Kulshreshtha also discussed about the Quarks, Leptons, Riemanian Geometry and Minkowski Space.
 
He also discussed that how astronomers make deductions about the important physical processes operating in the Universe when they are forced to play the role of passive observer rather than active experimentalist. He suggested the students to develop the skills by looking at a large range of astrophysical phenomena on scales from exoplanets to quasars.  The lecture provided an immersion in topics in contemporary astrophysics but the examinable content of the area - and the supervision problem sets.
 
Students actively interacted with Dr. Kulshreshtha and discussed various topics related to the Universe.
