Thanu Padmanabhan - and the Third Revolution in Gravity
Abstract
Prof. Thanu Padmanabhan, affectionately known as Paddy, born and brought up in Thiruvananthapuram, was a renowned Indian theoretical physicist known for his pioneer contribution in understanding gravity as an emergent thermodynamic phenomenon. His research area are general relativity, cosmology, and quantum gravity. In an extraordinary academic career spanning forty-two years, he published more than three hundred research articles, wrote a dozen of highly successful technical and popular books. He mentored about thirty graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Here I mainly give an overview on his contribution to the emergent gravity paradigm.
