Time: Towards a Consistent Theory, Kluwer Academic, Dordrecht, 1994.
Physics should be consistent with experience, but existing physics is not consistent with the mundane experience that we are occasionally able to bring about a desired future. That mundane belief is the basis of the belief that we can design and perform experiments used to validate physics. The belief that this incoherence can be dissolved by long metaphysical discourses on “free will”, complexity, chaos etc., in the manner of theology, reduces the reliability of physics to that of theology. Allowing a small tilt in the arrow of time, or reformulating physics using mixed-type functional differential equations is the smallest departure from existing physics which makes physics compatible with mundane human experience.
“Classical Time Symmetric Electrodynamics.” J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 13 (1980) 3303–17.
Pointed out errors in the Wheeler-Feynman and Hoyle-Narlikar absorber theories of radiation. Proposed an alternative absorber theory which predicts the existence of small amounts of advanced radiation.
“On Time.” A series of articles in Physics Education (India), as follows.
I: Philosophical Time, 7 (1990) 204–17.
II: Newton’s Time, 8 (1991) 15–25.
Newton’s laws of motion and law of gravitation come as a package deal. Due to the problem of time, they are not individually refutable.
IIIA: The Michelson-Morley Experiment, 8 (1991) 193–200.
The famous experiment was performed to discriminate between the ether theories of Fresnel and Stokes, and not to determine the existence of ether or the velocity of light as wrongly stated in physics texts. It came out in favour of the Stokes theory which involves a mathematical absurdity. Miller reported a positive result which is conceptually unacceptable.
IIIB: Einstein’s Time, 8 (1992) 293–305.
Poincaré made a deep analysis of the problem of time in Newtonian physics. He postulated the constancy of the speed of light and derived and named the Lorentz transform before Einstein.
IV: Thermodynamic Time, 9 (1992) 44–62.
The observed irreversibility of entropy increase is contrary to the reversibility of classical physics. A deeper analysis shows that the text-book ways of refuting the recurrence paradox do not work.
VA: The Electromagnetic Field, 9 (1992) 119–128.
The field works to establish action by contact, like ether, as in the classical Nyāya Vaiśeika philosophy.
VB: Electromagnetic Time, 9 (1992) 251–265. The 2-body equations of motion in electrodynamics are functional differential equations which involve a paradigm shift from ordinary and partial differential equations.
VIA: Bell and Non-Locality, 10 (1993) 55–73.
A review.
VIB: Quantum Mechanical Time, 10 (1993) 143–161.
Small amounts of advanced radiation (or a tilt in the arrow of time) must exist if we reject the hypothesis of perfect causality. The corresponding mathematical model is that of mixed-type functional differential equations. That results in a structure of time, and the corresponding temporal logic is a quantum logic. That is, the axioms of quantum mechanics can be (almost) derived by accepting a tilt in the arrow of time.
VII: Cosmological Time, 11 (1994) 49–65.

The first experiment in science in schools (the simple pendulum) is taught wrongly by teaching children to reject actual observation and instead trust a simplified formula. The mathematical difficulty can be easily resolved by teaching calculus in a different way, as I did with my children. But teachers don’t understand that science is about observation not belief in the authority of text-book formulae.

Resolved Popper’s pond paradox by pointing out that his arguments against advanced interactions subtly assumed “causality”. Time travel is possible, but it can only be of the second kind—without machines. Hence, the empirical evidence for such time travel (or a tilt) will not be hordes of tourists from the future, but the observation of tiny spontaneous events mechanistically inexplicable from the past.
“Time and Life: Testing a Tilt in the Arrow of Time”, essay on the “Nature of Time”, at site of Foundational Questions Institute (Fqxi.org).
Develops the above argument to explain that mixed-type FDEs model both the memory and spontaneity exhibited by living organisms, and explain that the existence of living organisms is proof of a “tilt”.

The Electrodynamic 2-Body Problem and the Origin of Quantum Mechanics” Found. Phys. 34 (2004) 937–62.
Gave the first actual solution of the 2-body functional differential equations of electrodynamics for the classical hydrogen atom. If an electron is started in a central orbit based on the Coulomb force, then in the absence of radiation damping it falls out of the electron. This is contrary to the long-standing belief that orbits based on the Coulomb force are stable.

Extended functional differential equations to gravitation. Newton’s laws failed because of a conceptual problem with time, which arose because of Newton’s misunderstanding of the calculus. Because the laws of motion and Newtonian gravitation come as a package deal (they are not individually refutable), Newtonian gravitation should be made Lorentz covariant, as is done in this article. This largely corrects for the failure of Newtonian gravitation for the galaxy. It explains the NASA flyby anomaly as an effect due to earth’s rotation, and can be tested, in principle, in the laboratory.

The Eleven Pictures of Time: the physics, philosophy and politics of time beliefs, Sage, 2003.
This book explains how time perceptions are at the core of religious beliefs, and human values, and classifies major religions by their differing time perceptions. It also explained how political considerations were involved in modifying time perceptions (“The curse on ’cyclic’ time”) so as to change values and manipulate mass human behaviour. Can one then decide which religion is most scientific? That is not so easy, since politico-religious beliefs have infiltrated science through the common interface of time, central to both science and religion. An example is the way Augustine’s theological arguments (crucial to post-Nicene theology) are repeated by Stephen Hawking in the context of science. The book also explained my new physics of time, and how it leads to new basis for human values.

“Products and Compositions with the Dirac Delta Function.” J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 15 (1982) 381–96.
On the university calculus a differentiable function must be continuous. However, in physics, the need arises to differentiate a discontinuous function as in understanding the nonlinear differential equations of physics at a shock. Though a discontinuous function can be differentiated using the Schwartz theory of distributions, that theory is linear. This paper defined products and compositions using Non-Standard Analysis as applied to distribution spaces.

Explained how my product of distributions could be used to generalise Taub’s theory of relativistic shocks and the junction conditions of Israel and Kuchar. In the non-relativistic limit this applies to shocks in a real fluid with modeled by Navier-Stokes equations to obtain full Cauchy data behind a shock.

Narlikar’s paper (for a PHISPC volume) was sent to me for adjudication when two referees D. Pingree and K. V. Sarma differed strongly. The author stated that he was writing to expose his ignorance, and Pingree was mischievous as usual, but K. V. Sarma asked whether it was the practice in astronomy to write research papers to expose one’s ignorance. My comment was that Narlikar was in the habit of accumulating hypotheses in much of his scientific work, and that the paper should be published for public discussion, but suggested that it should be renamed “Four questions that the library might answer”. The report was published along with those of Pingree and K. V. Sarma, without my prior clearance, and Narlikar was an editor of the journal.

Talk: a tale of two calendars https://www.youtube.com/MvpuC7Dg4e0, 31895 views.
Amazing talk. From this other information tumbling out of Europe’s dirty past, looks like ’White man’s burden’ in reality meant ’the burden to appear superior at whatever cost’. One can only imagine the inferiority complex the early whites must have felt seeing the dark heathen natives’ superiority in trade, calculations, navigation, astronomy, architecture etc.!
I am extremely impressed with the depth and breadth of the knowledge. I am more educated in one hour than I had been [in] several years.

Professor C.K.Raju’s courage is admirable.
Superb, thought provoking, eye opening!
Thank you for the interview, I enjoyed it a lot. I am so glad that somebody is on the project of digging into historical evidence and telling history as it is. I just hope that more people will join in the process so that our children will learn a history that more correctly reflects the evidence we have. Much of the primary source that Western historians rely on for ancient Greece dates back to around the Renaissance and after, which is more than 1000 years after the supposed fact. Any scrupulous historian would consider such sources to be highly questionable and unreliable.
Wonderful very very wonderful.

Truth buried for long will come to light, truth is stronger than falsehood.…You should be given the Nobel prize for all your work.

“Retarded Differential Equations and Quantum Mechanics”, Letter by M. Walker in Notices of the American Mathematical Society, 54 (4) (2007) p. 472.
Belated acknowledgment of my previously published work (in Time: Towards a Consistent Theory, Kluwer, 1994) for which Sir Michael Atiyah unethically sought credit in his Einstein lecture. An earlier prominent article in the Notices had declared my idea a paradigm shift in physics (as I had done), but credited the idea to Atiyah, by calling it “Atiyah’s hypothesis”. That article was published in consultation with Atiyah, and long after Atiyah was explicitly informed of my prior work. That this theft began with Atiyah’s Einstein centenary lecture is no coincidence. My “sensational” point about Einstein’s mathematical mistake in relativity was that he had overlooked that relativity forces functional differential equations. After the theft of the idea by a prominent Westerner, it suddenly became credible to colonised minds who regard science as concerning Western approval, not as one’s own knowledge.
“Atiyah-Raju case.” Case number 2 of 2007, report of Society for Scientific Values on its website.
Retraction, The Hindustan Times, New Delhi, 25 Aug 2007, p. 2.
Not only did the West steal the calculus, it also serially plagiarised my other book Cultural Foundations of Mathematics detailing the “sensational” calculus transmission thesis. Once again, after the near-verbatim plagiarism, the very same thesis suddenly became credible to colonised minds, and made front page news across the world. The above retraction was to correct the front page news item in Hindustan Timesof 14 Aug 2007. (The British researcher who had been earlier warned against plagiarising my work, by Exeter university, again attempted to do so together with George Joseph from Manchester university.)
