Cosmologist Jayant Narlikar and Alternative Universe Theories

Imagine the universe started from a tiny, hot speck, according to the Big Bang theory.

But there's a scientist named Jayant Vishnu Narlikar who had different ideas.

This podcast episode talks about him and his ideas.

Narlikar didn't agree with the Big Bang as the only explanation for how the universe began.

He was also a writer, a builder of science places, and someone who fought against astrology.

The podcast, called The Rearview, explores interesting science stories and the people behind them.

It aims to explain complex ideas in an easy-to-understand way, like how the universe might have started differently than what many people think.
