Big Bang

Dear Jay,

 

I thought quantum physics had taken science beyond the Big Bang Theory

and to evolution/dissolution. And I thought it was hovering around Pure

Consciousness as distinct from brain consciousness. Am I incorrect?

Dear Edith

 

The findings of quantum mechanics are truly very inspiring and very much in

line with the findings seen in 'Advaita'.

 

General relativity allowed for 'big bang' idea and thus a new theory of

'creation' was born. Still a problem remained. If we reverse time and go

back to the 'big bang' - we find that we hit 'infinities'. These infinities

are a real bother because they defy normal

calculations. You just cannot deal with them - all physical laws as we know

them go up in a puff of smoke. How do we handle the situation at the

beginning of time? This point is called a 'singularity' in physics. The best

resolution seems to come from Quantum Mechanics - which says - at the heart

of everything is a 'certain uncertainty'. So handle this singularity at the

time of big-bang as such. The whole 'show' has been born out of this

uncertainty principle. We then do not have a singular point of creation to

worry about. The whole thing has popped out of nothing. The whole thing is

just a 'quantum fluctuation'. Which allows for such things as the whole

universe to pop out of 'nothing'.

 

Such ideas in Physics have a great deal in common with the 'Creation verse

seen in the Vedic literature.

 

I personally feel we live in very exciting times - we may find modern

science to be the greatest ally to spirituality. Imagine how much this can

benefit mankind! If science begins to act as an ally - a great upsurge

towards spiritual matters will benefit a very large portion of mankind.
