Everything has an evolutionary growth. I found it both science and religion. The religions take it root from the fear of human being to various natural phenomena. I exemplify this with the particular reference to India. Here the religion started as same as everywhere with worshiping the nature and still it exists. But over time the religion was refined and reinvented by some geniuses. The existence of godhead was challenged by both a fraction of theists and atheists; but in different ways. For the atheist the world and natural phenomena aren’t to be explained by the godhead. Sections of theist known as the monists- the advithists- also hold that there is no godhead for creation. The cause and effect are interwoven and the cause itself is manifested as effect. The entire universe is the manifestation of the ultimate substance that is unborn an infinitive. This substance they termed as a conscious field. They also hold that there is no reality apart from the observer; in fact the observer himself manifested as what is being manifested. They hold creation is only with reference to the observer and the observer, the conscious field both are one is the ultimate reality. I know it has paradoxes as well as complicated. Then what about the development of theoretical physics? The history has marked with the geocentric theory of Aristotle and Ptolemy. Galileo observed the earth need not to be the centre of universe. Later Sir Isaac Newton metamorphosed the classical physics (still it has reference to all practical purpose) and Newtonian concepts held for substantially a long period. But all of a sudden there emerged a quantum shift- the origin of quantum physics. The concept of absolute time and space is shattered. In 1905, Albert Einstein proposes to abandon the idea of absolute time. Almost one century ago a series of experimental discoveries were made in the field of physics that could not be explained by classical Newtonian physics and that, if taken seriously, require a paradigmatic change in the way we understand our relation to the phenomenal world. It took about one century before this new paradigm entered the sphere of popular knowledge, but it is happening. Suddenly, maybe because we start to recognize the need for a more integrative worldview, the basic concepts of quantum physics and quantum mechanics are entering the popular culture through movies such as “What the bleep do we know”, the yet unreleased “One”, and various writings such as the Dalai Lama‟s “The Universe In A Single Atom” among others. The evolution from scientific reductionism to monistic idealism, known thus far as Advaita Vedanta, depends on the assumption that consciousness, not matter, is the building block of our universe. “The fact of the matter is that matter is no longer a fact. The main difference between classical physics and quantum physics is that in classical physics the observer does not intervene with or modify what is observed. For example, when you see an airplane, however closely you observe it, its characteristics and special conditions remain the same, it goes at the same speed and the pilots and passengers do not show any changes because there is someone watching them from the ground; therefore, in classical physics there is no need to analyse the nature of observers, since they are considered to be totally independent from what is observed. we can state that in the sub-atomic world, the nature of observers changes the reality of particles because, if they are present, the object seems to be “something”, but if there are no observers the object becomes only a probability. It is an interesting moment in which an object goes on from being a probability to being an object: Although not all scientists could or did not want to understand such circumstances, most of them arrived at an agreement that what this equation described were probabilities.For example, let’s imagine in our hand we are holding an orange seed. At this moment it is just one little seed but, what could it be in just a few years? It could succeed in becoming anorange tree, it could simply be an orange; it could also be another seed, some orange juice,the shadow of the orange tree, firewood, a piece of Wood, an ornament, a utensil, part of a birds nest, etc., it could also become vitamins, that when taken by a child and assimilated byhis or her organism to increase their defences to protect them from illness. It can be transformed into so many things that it becomes a never-ending task to register a possible number of options, a number which would reach to infinity. Now, are all these probabilities futuristic? Or rather, is the seed simultaneously any of the probabilities or just one? Is it only one object or just a shadow or a piece of fruit? Can it be “one” and only “one”, or oneand potentially all the others simultaneously? What most scientists agree upon is that Schrödinger’s equation describes “one” condition and all the potential remaining ones.This pinpointing of “many probabilities” into “only one” is known as “collapse in the function of waves”. In quantum physics it is said that observers collapse the function of waves and, when collapsing, one of the countless probabilities becomes present. From this it is very clear there is avery much similarity with Adviatha Vedanta and quantum physics. But for Adviatha Consciousness is the building block. Science is still evolving; let us see where it heading??
