Dr. C.S. Unnikrishnan is a professor of physics at the TATA Institute of Fundamental Research, member of the India LIGO collaboration, and is a devoted skeptic of the standard story that we tell about the cosmological history of the universe. In this talk, presented at the 2025 Demysticon, Professor Unnikrishnan takes on the standard model in the best way he knows how - by walking through the conventional model, showing the places where it frays around the edges, and proposing the most promising approach for taking on this behemoth that seems permanently lodged in the popular consciousness. Filmed at DemystiCon 2025 in Portugal, with Dr. C.S. Unnikrishnan presenting.
