THE SCIENCE OF EVERYTHING -5

Thus Spake Modern Physics

The stars are in a dance, sort of eternal, which permeates through its birth and death. This is what Dr.Subramaniam Chandrasekhar said in 1920 for which he was awarded the Nobel in 1983. The Supernova explodes, giving birth to myriad stars and planets. Now that Stephen Hawkins charts the evolution of the Black Hole into Naked Singularity, the Chandrasekhar Theory is convincingly proved.

Everything in the Universe is in a dance; Energy Dance that is. The eternal dance is powered by Gravitational force, Electromagnetic force, Weak nuclear force and Strong nuclear force. The first one is the weakest of all, though it has no limits. The force of attraction between particles gets summed up to form the gravitational force. This is applicable to all astro-bodies. The planets revolve around the stars, get flocked into a galaxy due to gravitational force. What’s more, you’re walking on this planet, thanks to “g”. Now, consider the electromagnetic force. It is 10³⁹ times powerful than “g” and is also infinite in range.Weak Nuclear Force is 10²⁵ times powerful compared to ‘g’. Similarly Strong Nuclear Force is 10⁴⁰ times.

In the beginning, at the unimaginably high temperature that prevailed, all these forces were inseparable. As the temperature came down, the primal force split into four as said above. If we were able to integrate them, the secrets of creation would be revealed. We have already seen that two of them – electromagnetic force and weak nuclear forces - can be unified (Electroweak Theory).The experiment s conducted at CERN (Centre for European Nuclear Research) proved it conclusively. However, the Grand Unified Theory is destined to remain elusive for two reasons,

1        Creating the Big-Bang temperature on Earth is impossible.

2        A ‘Particle Accelerator ‘as large as the Sun is more than impossible.

So far, the effort closest to the integration, known as Boot Strap Theory is formulated by Geoffrey Chew.  He envisages the Universe as a web of dynamic, inter-related, inter-dependent events. David Bohm based the Boot-Strap Theory to study the relationship between Matter, Energy and Mind. He found out that the Universe is an organic whole, seamlessly integrated and hence complete in every way. There does exist something which holds the Center together. The “something” envelopes the Universe and penetrates through. The characteristics of something is similar everywhere. Bohm further says that Matter and Mind are inter-dependent, inter-related and enfolded in each other. The Dynamic Web of Relationships should be connected together so as to make it functional.  And who is doing this job?

In Vedanta, there is a word earmarked for the purpose – Consciousness. It does.

We can say something very similar to what is written below.

Chew + Bohm ≈ Vedanta

Sensory inputs + Mind + Prana  = Matter 

                                                               (Kenopanishad)

The Consciousness is SAT (‘unnma’ in Malayalam) of every being. SAT experiences on its own. The Universe manifests through Consciousness.  It can’t be seen by the eyes, but it is the cause behind vision. It can’t be heard by the ears, but it is the cause behind hearing. It can’t be analysed by the mind but it makes all analyses possible. That is,

SAT is the eye of the eye, ear of the ear and mind of the mind.

It (TAT) is beyond the known and the unknown.
