New Delhi: Physicist C K Raju will be awarded
Gold Medal by the UK-based Telesio-Galilei Academy of Science
for his interpretation of quantum mechanics and suggesting
certain corrections to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.
"He noted that every aspect of special relativity was
published by Poincare in papers between 1898 and 1905 and
further noted that Einstein made a mistake on which much of
modern physics has been built," the UK-based Academy said in
the citation.
Raju and nine others will be conferred the Gold Medal at
a ceremony to be held at the University of Pecs in Hungary on
June 12.
Raju is a Distinguished Professor and Director Academic
at the Integrated Academy of Management and Technology,
Ghaziabad.
