Science

[Guest guest]

Namaste All Advaitins,

 

Thanks Benjamin for your work. Reflecting on Science

certain caveats must be issued. It is a product of

human consciousness and if taken as that can do no

harm while being useful. When we take its axioms

as ultimate pictures of reality mischief commences.

 

Space and Time are infinitely divisible? No they're not.

Such belief generates the paradoxes of Zeno. Duration is

lived space/time which gives rise to the Yogic experiences

which Subbuji wrote about. Your life may flash before

your eyes in an instant at the point of death as

drowning victims that have been revived report.

This is commonplace in dreams of course. Consider the

reactions of a great batsman. To a cheetah they must

seem agonisingly slow. 'The thoughts of a boy are long,

long thoughts' (Houseman) These are not illusions

and the Yogi that is tranferring the benefit of

his intense duration is not transgressing clock

time.

 

I am convinced that the observer paradox in QM

is due to the fact that we have reified some

abstraction and are treating it as a reality.

If it be not too vertiginous a consideration,

at the outer limits of matter, observation commits

the fallacy of misplaced location.

 

Best Wishes,

Michael
