Dark Energy Paradigm

B. G. Sidharth is the founding Director of the B.M. Birla Science Center in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Earlier he served as a  Professor of Mathematics at St. Xavier’s University in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. During his tenure at the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy, he collaborated with Prof. Abdus Salam, maintaining their professional relationship until Salam’s passing. He also served as Visiting Professor at the Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies, working alongside Prof. Walter Greiner. Sidharth’s longstanding association with ICTP Trieste involved a significant collaboration with Prof. Luciano Fonda on quantum scattering until the mid-1990s.In 1995, Sidharth proposed the existence of one-dimensional and two-dimensional structures, and then the existence of nanotubes and graphene was established with graphene itself being discovered in 2005. In 1997, he introduced his model of dark energy and an ever-accelerating universe.
