1. To begin, our audience would like to know more about your academic journey. Could you share a brief overview of your research background and what drew you to theoretical physics?
02:25
2. Astronomy is a prominent journal in the field. What motivated you to join its Editorial Board, and how do you see it contributing to advancements in cosmology and quantum gravity?
04:07
3. Quantum gravity remains one of the most profound challenges in modern physics. What key unresolved questions in this field drive your research?
06:02
4. Could you discuss the evolution of theoretical frameworks in quantum gravity (e.g., string theory, loop quantum gravity) and how recent developments have shaped our understanding of spacetime?
08:23
5. Cosmology and quantum gravity intersect in areas like the early universe and black hole physics. What are the most promising observational or theoretical avenues to test quantum gravity effects?
10:37
6. Some models suggest quantum corrections could alter classical cosmology, such as in inflation or dark energy. Do you think quantum gravity could provide alternative explanations for these phenomena?
12:04
7. A topic of debate is whether quantum gravity leaves imprints in cosmological data (e.g., CMB anomalies, gravitational waves). What are your views on detectability, and what future experiments hold potential?
13:45
8. Finally, inherited or fundamental physical constants (e.g., cosmological constant) are often seen as "fine-tuned." Do you believe quantum gravity could offer a natural explanation for these values, or must we appeal to multiverse theories?
Video Introduction
Video interview with Prof. Dr. Saurya Das, Editorial Board Member of Astronomy and Professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Lethbridge, Canada, on his groundbreaking research in quantum gravity, cosmology, and black hole physics—exploring unresolved questions at the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity, theoretical frameworks like string theory and loop quantum gravity, and potential observational signatures of quantum gravity in cosmological data.
