It is a celebratory volume dedicated to Prof. Thanu Padmanabhan ("Paddy"), the renowned relativist and cosmologist from IUCAA, India, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The authors, many of them leaders of their fields, are all colleagues, collaborators and former students of Paddy, who have worked with him over a research career spanning more than four decades. Paddy is a scientist of diverse interests, who attaches great importance to teaching. With this in mind, the aim of this compilation is to provide an accessible pedagogic introduction to, and overview of, various important topics in cosmology, gravitation and astrophysics. As such it will be an invaluable resource for scientists, graduate students and also advanced undergraduates seeking to broaden their horizons.Fundamental Theories of Physics,0168-1222 ;187GravitationAstronomyAstrophysicsElementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryPhysicsClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029History and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Gravitation.Astronomy.Astrophysics.Elementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Physics.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.530.143Bagla Jasjeet Singhedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtEngineer Sunuedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254596803321Gravity and the Quantum1939134UNINA
