Prof. Jayant Vishnu Narlikar (19 July 1938 – 20 May 2025) (L0099)

Professor Jayant Narlikar passed away in his sleep in the early hours of May 20, following a brief illness precipitated by a simple fall at home, the ensuing surgery and the effects of a heart condition. He had not been in the best of health for some time, and yet was able to carry out his routine in a highly productive way. Since January 2024, he was writing a blog, covering different stages of his life, which I am sure will be sorely missed by the tens of thousands of people who read it.
