Modern Science

Quantum theory deals with the smallscale world of atoms and particles.

The theory of relativity covers the

large-scale structure of the universe.

Scientists are searching for a completeand consistent theory that unifies

quantum and relativity theories.

Quantum theory

In 1900, Max Planck published his theory explainingthe emission spectrum of black bodies (Quantum

theory).

"quanta", comes from the Latin "quantus", for "how

much". In physics, quantum refers to an indivisible,

and elementary entity.

The Planck length is 10-36 meters. (That is one meter

divided by one followed by 36 zeros!)

The Planck time is 10-43 seconds. (That is one second

divided by one followed by 43 zeros!)

Need for a cosmic factor

Albert Einstein, after his theory of specialrelativity (1905) and theory of general

relativity (1915), intuitively felt the need for

cosmic factor and incorporated it in his theory

as cosmological constant. Later, he abandoned

it due to its incompatibility with physics.

Results found in 2000, however, revealed that

Einstein was probably right after all: the

cosmological constant not only exists, but darkenergy probably makes up the largest source of

matter/ energy in the entire universe.

(From: Einsteins cosmos (2004) by Michel Kaku-Page 215)

Elementary particles

Yellow: electronsRed: protons

Green: neutrons

Protons and

neutrons are actuallycomposite particles,

made up of quarks.

At quantum level, the

particles are wavesalso.

TimeDictionary definition of time

"a non-spatial linear continuum wherein

events occur in an apparently irreversible

order.

Time is currently defined via measurement.One second is 9,192,631,770 oscillations of a

hyperfine transition in the 133Cs atom.

Light year is the distance covered by light inone year travelling at 300 000 kilometers per

second.

Space-timeEinstein linked space and time

into space-time or space-time

continuum.

In this picture, earth is

depicted in two spatial

dimensions X and Y (the plane

of the earth orbit) and a time

dimension. It may be noted

that the orbit of the Earth is

(almost) a circle in space, butits worldline is a helix in

spacetime.


11/69


Gravity

Newton discovered gravity andhis law of universal gravitation

states that every object in the

Universe attracts every other

object with a force directed alongthe line of centers of mass for the

two objects.

Gravity and the solarGravity on earth and other

bodies in the solar system:Sun = 27.9

Mercury = 0.37

Venus = 0.88

Earth = 1.00Moon = 0.16

Mars = 0.38

Jupiter = 2.64

Saturn = 1.15

Uranus = 0.93

Neptune = 1.22

Pluto = 0.06

Three nuclear forces

Strong nuclear force tightly holdsthe protons together in the nucleusof an atom.

Weak nuclear force is responsible

for the decay of some sub-atomicparticles or radioactivity.

Electromagnetism is the force that

acts between electrically chargedparticles.


14/69


Symmetry after the BigThis is symmetryimmediately after theBig Bang.

It broke whentemperature of theuniverse lowered and

a number ofcompletely differentparticles at lowenergies emerged.

Similar symmetrywill appear at the

end of the universeor at the time of Bigcrunch.

Our galaxy-The Milky WayThe Milky Way, is a

large disk-shaped

spiral galaxy about

100,000 light years

in diameter and

3,000 light years inthickness.

It contains about

31011 (300 billion)

stars and the sun isjust one of them.

Covalent bond of atoms

A covalent bond is formedwhen the electron clouds of

two atoms overlap. Where

the clouds overlap they are

thicker, and their electric

charge is stronger.

A group of atoms joined in

this way is known as a

molecule.

The number of covalentbonds which an atom can

form depends on how many

electrons it has.

Entropy and the states of gross

matterAccording to the Laws of Thermodynamics, entropy, the

measure of the disorderin a closed system, and its

direction -- toward increasing disorder -- cannot be

reversed. Entropy is not purely a physics term. It

can also be applied to everything from gardens to

societies.Here are pictures of water in three forms.

Here are pictures of water in three forms. Gas

Liquid

Solid

Most liquids contract (get smaller) when they getcolder. Water is different. Water contracts until it

reaches 40 C then it expands until it is solid. This

property is important for preservation of life under

very low temperatures.


21/69

Supernova

When the star cools and its energy is

reduced, it explodes and throws away

some atoms that combine to make

molecules. The picture here shows

supernova like explosion.

Current theories connect the formation

of the solar system with supernova.

The sun had, perhaps, two supernova

like explosions. The first one created

the bodies Jupiter and beyond, and thesecond one created bodies closer than

Jupiter.

Wave/particle duality

The quantum theory has shownwave/particle duality of realityat sub-atomic level

This confirms the relevance of

waves or non-matereialphenomenon in understandingthe reality.

Information theory is anexample of this wave/particleduality.


26/69


What is spirituality?

Understanding the Unity ofCosmos, the Creator and thecreation.

Belief in and devotion to theSupreme Power (God, SupremeSpirit, Cosmic Consciousnessetc.)

Correct interpretation of thereality of consciousness.


27/69


Duality and

In quantum theory, elementaryparticles behave sometimes aswaves and sometimes as particles.

This duality suggests that as wavesthe particles are connected to thefield that contains those waves butis non-manifest.

While the manifest reality of theuniverse is energy/matter, the non-manifest reality is consciousness.


28/69


Different forms of duality Particle/wave

Manifest/non-manifest reality

Universe/cosmic consciousness

Quanta/qualia

Energy/consciousness Objective/subjective view

Brain/mind

Scientific/spiritual knowledge

Experimentation/meditation


29/69


Consciousness, code and Duality implies connectivity.

Particles and waves interchangeinformation through some code.

Brain-mind having the dual elements isable to interpret the code and

connectivity between the two sides ofreality.

Understanding the wave part of dualityand consciousness is essential for

comprehending the non-manifestreality.


30/69


What is consciousness?Consciousness generally means a quality

of the cognitive mind to understandthe subjectivity, self-awareness, willand the ability to perceive therelationship with each other and withthe environment.

By `consciousness' I simply mean thosesubjective states of sentience orawareness that begin when oneawakes in the morning from adreamless sleep and continue

throughout the day until one goes tosleep at night or falls into a coma, ordies, or otherwise becomes, as onewould say, `unconscious'. (John, R. Searle)


31/69


Consciousness throughQualia are considered to be the micro

wave form ofconsciousness just as

quanta are the micro energy form of

matter.

According to Daniel Dennett, qualia are:

3. ineffable (they cannot be

communicated);

4. intrinsic (non-relational properties);

5. private (interpersonal comparisons of

qualia are impossible); and

6. directly or immediately apprehensible

in consciousness.


32/69


Life and ConsciousnessLife, as we know, is only on the earth.The source of life is the continuum of waves/particlesat the quantum level that carry the code of life. Thosewaves are present universally ever since the creationof the quantum field in the universe.At the level of galaxies, stars and other celestialbodies, the source of life is dormant due to the

absence of appropriate physical conditions. On theearth, however, the physical conditions such as water,soil, climate, etc. were appropriate for emergence andevolution of life.Human mind-brain has a special feature that enablesthe processing of wave / particles associated with life

and consciousness through coding and decoding. Onlythe human mind has the capability of self-awarenessand even more, to attain the other levels ofconsciousness.

Evolution of human brain


34/69


Three parts of brainThe neurologist Paul MacLean has

proposed that our skull holdsnot one brain, but three, eachrepresenting a distinctevolutionary stratum that hasformed upon the older layerbefore it.

2. the neo-mammalian brain

3. the limbic brain

4. the reptilian brain (see thediagram).

It is interesting that many

spiritual traditions taught thesame idea of three planes ofconsciousness and even threedifferent brains.

Functions of human brain1. Ego/self awareness

2. Intellect/learning and task performance

3. Cognition/perceptions and sense control

4. Life control/vital energy regulation

5. Memory management

A new theory of thequantum mind-brain hasemerged in which thecores of microtubulesinside neurons of thebrain perform thequantum-scale

information processingand consciousawareness. This theoryis motivation by the factthat neurons in thebrain are too large forsignificant quantumeffects.Roger Penrose and

Stuart Hameroff are theauthors of this theory.

Cosmic consciousnessThe basic fact of Cosmic

consciousness, implied by its

name, is the consciousness of the

cosmos as a living presence. It

involves the immediate perceptionof the immortality of one's soul.

Science and religionAfter a conference on cosmology

organized by the Jesuits in the Vatican,

(1981) Stephen Hawking met Pope and

wrote as follows:

At the end of the conference the

participants were granted an audiencewith the Pope. He told us that it was all

right to study the evolution of the

universe after the big bang, but we

should not inquire into the big bang itselfbecause that was the moment of Creation

and therefore the work of God.

From A Brief Histor of Time . 161


44/69


Physics andScientists are now accepting the existence of the

phenomenon of consciousness. In view of dualityand uncertainities at quantum level, deeper

realities are being explored.

a physical theory of everything' should at least

contain the seeds of an explanation of the

phenomenon of consciousness It must be of such

sophistication that the brain is enabled to dig more

deeply into the fundamental workings of the

Universe than are more commonplace physical

systems.

Roger Penrose in an article in Nature (257 259,

January 2005).

Science and spiritualityEnlightened people in science and religionhave advocated balance betweenenergy/science andconsciousness/spirituality.

What matters is that in the interacting

development of these two basic trends uponwhich Mankind is continuing to build itself,technical organization and the growth ofreflective consciousness, the second shouldacquire an ever greater predominance and

degree of autonomy. --Teilhard deChardin, The Future of Man, pp. 240-241

Life, as we know, is everywhere on theearth. Over the last 3.7 billion years or so,living organisms on the earth havediversified and adapted to almost everyenvironment imaginable.

There are five senses (sight, hearing, touch,smell, taste. Our knowledge through sensesis limited to nearby perceptible objects. Thisknowledge is not always accurate.

The term intelligence of animals is used forcognition. Level of intelligence in differentanimals depends partly on the size of theirbrain.

The word creativity conjures up visions ofartistic endeavours, the writing of literatureand scientific inventions and discoveries.

Concluding remarks


68/69


Concluding remarksThis presentation has highlighted the following:

There is need for recognizing the Cosmic Reality and the Supreme Power bothin science as well as spirituality.

Particle-wave duality is inherent ever since the creation/evolution of theuniverse.

Evolution of energy/matter in the universe is not isolated from consciousness.

At every level of existence, there is need for equilibrium of energy and

consciousness. There is the code for communication or pattern of interaction between

consciousness and energy at all levels.

Hman mind can grasp the code and understand connectivity betweenmatter/energy and consciousness.

Entropy of matter can be regulated by consciousness.

Supreme Knowledge Yantra (SKY) reveals several aspects of reality.

Supreme Knowledge Yantra (SKY) can help in understanding bothenergy/matter and consciousness and create awareness of truth, goodnessand beaty in all existence.
