George Sudarshan, professor at the Texas University and acclaimed scientist,
passed away in Texas on 13, may 2018.The 86-year-old physicist was born in
Kottayam on September 16, 1931.
The
renowned physicist E C G Sudarshan, who proved Albert Einstein wrong, was
recommended for the Nobel Prize nine times but never awarded.
Sudarshan
specialised in Quantum Optics and linked Vedanta with modern physics. He has
proved Albert Einsteins theory on the speed of light was wrong as tachyon can
move faster than light.
Einstein
showed that it is impossible for particles (or space ships) to be accelerated
up to or beyond the speed of light because of the infinite energy required. Sudarshan
and his colleagues suggested, however, that if particles were created initially
with faster-than-light speed in particle collisions no acceleration or infinite
energy would be necessary -- something not possible for space ships.
Chief
Minister Pinarayi Vijayan offered his condolences to the family.Dr E C G
Sudarshan was great son of Kerala and made great contributions to modern
Physics. He was a philosopher and a physicist. His death is a great loss for
Kerala and world of science, Vijayan told.
