Igor Yuryevich Kobzarev

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Igor Jurjewitsch Kobsarew ( Russian Игорь Юрьевич Кобзарев ; born October 15, 1932 in Leningrad , † January 20, 1991 in Moscow ) was a Russian theoretical particle physicist.

Kobasarew was the son of Yuri Kobsarew (1905-1992), a radio and radar specialist who was a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and head of department at its Institute for Radio Technology and Electronics. He became a student of Isaak Pomeranschuk at the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP), where he was later a scientist.

Kobsarew dealt with the physics of kaons , the structure of hadrons , spontaneous symmetry breaking in cosmology (with Lew Okun in 1974 he examined domain walls in cosmology) and general relativity. Together with Pomeranschuk and Okun, he proposed the existence of mirror worlds in cosmology in the 1960s, which only interact gravitationally with the known universe, an idea that was revived with Brane cosmology in the 1990s.

In addition to physics, he also dealt with philosophy.
