Life in a Four percent Universe Dr. C.P. Girijavallabhan Professor Emeritus International School of Photonics CUSAT

Our Changing Views of the Universe  Ptolemaic System till 16 th century  Galileo and the telescope (1609)  The Copernican revolution  Kepler’s laws and Newton’s theories  Birth and death of stars and galaxies  Hubble’s law and the expanding universe  The Big Bang and the origin

Unresolved Questions Gravity –where does it come from? How can it be made compatible with quantum field theory? How do the laws of universe originate? Laws first or matter first? What is time? Is it real or a myth? How does consciousness arise in unconscious matter? Is it all real or simply a dream?
