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. 410 0$aFundamental Theories of Physics,$x0168-1222 ;$v187 606 $aGravitation 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 676 $a530.143 702 $aBagla$b Jasjeet Singh$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aEngineer$b Sunu$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254596803321 996 $aGravity and the Quantum$91939134 997 $aUNINA
