C. K. Raju
Dr. Chandra Kant Raju (born March 7, 1954) born in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India is a computer scientist, mathematician, educator, physicist,and polymath researcher.[1][2] He is affiliated with the Centre for Studies in Civilizations in New Delhi.[3] Currently living in Malaysia, he occupies a function as lecturer of History and philosophy of science at Albukhary International University.
Education
Raju obtained a B.Sc. degree from the Institute of Science, Bombay (1973), a M.Sc. from the Department of Mathematics University of Mumbai, Bombay (1975), and a Ph.D. at the Indian Statistical Institute (1980).
Career
During the early 1980s, he was a faculty member at the Department of Statistics, University of Pune. Raju was a key contributor to the first Indian supercomputer, PARAM (1988–91),[2]
Raju has also done considerable historical research, most notably claiming infinitesimal calculus was transmitted to Europe from India.[4][5][6]
Raju built on E.T. Whittaker's beliefs that Albert Einstein's theories of special and general relativity built on the earlier work of Henri Poincaré. Raju claims that they were "remarkably similar", and every aspect of special relativity was published by Poincaré in papers between 1898 and 1905. Raju goes further, saying that Einstein made a mistake that much of physics has been built on;[7] he proposes corrections to the equations,[8] and says that physics needs to go through a major reformulation.[9] He proposed that modern physics must be reformulated using functional differential equations.
Through his research, Raju has claimed that the philosophies that underlie subjects like time[10] and mathematics[11] are rooted in the theocratic needs of the Roman Catholic Church.[12]
He has authored 12 books and dozens of articles, mainly on the subjects of physics, mathematics, and the history and philosophy of science.[13]
