Abhas Mitra (born 18 June 1955) is an Indian astrophysicist best known for his distinct views on several front-line astrophysics concepts, particularly related to black holes and Big Bang cosmology involving the black hole information paradox.
Mitra has regularly questioned the mainstream cosmological concepts of the Big Bang and black holes. Scientific diaspora including Richard A. Muller came into his favour of his claim of resolution of black hole information paradox presented 13 years before Stephen Hawking. Richard Muller appreciating the claim of Mitra made, remarking: "I think Mitra resolved the paradox before Hawking, and did it in a way that is superior."
He claims to have offered exact proofs that:
Consequently, dark energy, his research claims, is an illusion caused by the departure of the complex universe from the simple Big Bang model.
He is an alumnus of the Uttarpara Govt. High School, and the University of Calcutta. He did a part of his PhD work at the University of Kashmir before transferring because of armed insurgency that had erupted in Kashmir. The University of Mumbai conferred upon him the status of a "Distinguished Alumnus".
Though Mitra stresses that the black hole solutions are correct, his contention is that black hole masses, arising from relevant integration constants, are actually zero. His peer reviewed paper published in the Journal of Mathematical Physics supports this contention by showing that Schwarzschild black holes have M = 0. If so,
