SPIRITUALITY vs PHILOSOPHY vs SCIENCE

As today I was going through my mobile I have come across this beautiful article. The detail of the article has compel me to think on some of the things related to spirituality & philosophy. But, first go through this interesting article, I have mentioned the source if anyone ones to check the original website. The article was written by Edwin O.

"Goodbye to universe as we know — Experts find “clues” of computer-like behavior

by Edwin O.

The cosmos could be much stranger than we ever dreamed. New research in quantum mechanics and gravitational research is advancing a reality that acts less like a gigantic cosmic sea and more like a huge, cosmic computer. As scientists work toward a “theory of everything,” there are intriguing hints emerging that would turn our knowledge of space, time, and the nature of existence on its head.

Quantum gravity: How the quest for a ‘theory of everything’ is uncovering something surprising

Researchers have been attempting to put quantum mechanics—the physics of extremely small things—into Einstein’s general relativity, which is gravity and the large universe, for decades. Both theories are excellent separately, but as a pair, they conflict.

Phys.org says, “A key clue may be surfacing in the attempt to combine quantum theory and gravity.”

This is not a search for equations; it’s a search for the reality of reality itself.

Recent research indicates that the universe’s underlying texture could be digital, not smooth, continuous space-time. Rather than being made up of grainy, quantized units, the world could be constituted by grainy, quantized units similar to computer bytes and bits. The concept is gaining popularity as scientists seek an explanation of how information, as opposed to matter or energy, might be the universe’s most primitive building block.

This is how emerging experiments are revealing computer-like structure in the universe’s deepest secrets

Recent experiments and mathematical models are revealing patterns that resemble the logic of computer code.

Live Science reports, “Physicists might be headed toward a theory of everything after reimagining Einstein’s most celebrated theory.”

By conceptualizing gravity and quantum mechanics as one, information-based system, scientists are finding that the universe operates on information in language similar to a computer.

It’s maybe the most mind-twisting program of them all: the phenomenon of “quantum entanglement,” whereby particles speak to each other in the flash of a moment, regardless of distance. This centuries-held-in-theory-impossible phenomenon now seems to be a feature of the information cosmos. The implication: The universe at large might be subject to the rules of our machines.

The clues: Why scientists believe the universe is more computer-like than ever before

This is not science fiction. Leading physicists are identifying mathematical hints that space and time could be the product of more fundamental informational processes. As one scientist quoted Phys.org:

“The hints are building that information is at the center of physical law.”

This change of mindset can account for some of the cosmos’ biggest mysteries, from black holes to the Big Bang. If the universe is programmed at its creation by computers, stars, and galaxies, even we ourselves can be the result of calculations locked in the underworld. This groundbreaking hypothesis is testing scientists to ask themselves what it means to be living in a universe that, at its core, is a gigantic information processor.

An era of more recent physics and stranger-than-imagined realms

In search of a unifying theory, physicists are finding that the code of the universe is as beautiful and inscrutable as perhaps anyone might have wished. It’s not just a technical challenge to wed quantum mechanics and gravity—both are quests for the deepest secrets of existence. The clues previously encountered are that not only is the universe a stage upon which matter and energy play their lines, but it is also an information system at the center of all things.

The universe’s quest will not make a giant leap. When researchers develop a theory of computer-like behavior in the very fabric of the universe, we could be at the threshold of revolution in science. The universe that we understand is changing, and future breakthroughs could be even more remarkable."

These are the following things that strikes to my mind after I have finished reading the article.

1. The article still says its a hypothesis, but I think this thing still make sense as Quantum Entanglement is one of the prime example. But this thing gets really gets proved it will open new door for science and not only that it will help in connecting philosophy and science much closer. "Anyway what is philosophy - its also a kind of theory - in case of cosmic philosophy its a theory but not proven by calculation and experiment".

2. The first thing that came into my mind was Sankhya Philosophy. The core of Sankhya philosophy lies in dualistic view where Purush & Prakriti are two entities which form this entire Universe. However, I just want to clear that Sankhya Philosophy is complete, what I want to mention here is that we can take some good cues from this philosophy. I personally think there is no one spiritual philosophy or cosmic philosophy that can explain the entire secret of this Universe. 

Ok, lets comes back to Sankhya philosophy which says that this whole Universe is made of Purush - "Consciousness" & Prakriti - in simple words we can call in "Nature" or Matter or Energy.

3. So my view here is that The consciousness (Purush) is the one above article talking about. Consciousness which we can also called Information in scientific term is the thing which is running this Universe. But my view here is Information is not the only thing this Universe made of though The Information is core like in computer software is thing that makes computer circuits run. So, apart from Information there is definitely Energy is there which Sankhya called it Prakriti, again without which this Universe cannot be formed. As we already know matter and energy can be interchangeable so we should not spend too much time on this. This Energy is kind of electricity supply to the computer without which computer or any machine cannot work. So a kind of energy is must.

4. Now one last thing that is missing on this is Hardware. in my opinion Space-Time fabric work as a hardware on which both this Information runs. 

5. So, what the learning. Can characters from computer comes out of the computer in real to us? The answer is No.

Can the thinking or information of the character come out of the computer. The answer is No again. But the information or we can say the subconscious mind has ability to act. In modern world we called it AI or Artificial Intelligence. Which has the capability to run or ruin the whole system.

6. It reminds me of the movie.... I think everyone can guess the movie name especially those who are reading this article.  You guys guessed it right, its "The Matrix".

7. Hence, we as a character (with human body) can never go out of this Universe, forget going out we cannot imagine also. But Consciousness can travel and reach anywhere, which is only possible by reaching that highest level of intelligence like Buddha. Even if a human achieve that I think that is not complete even attaining the highest intelligence. That will still be fraction of the entire information.

8. This Information and Consciousness theory also emphasis on one more thing that is The Purpose. If this whole Universe is running by Information, then it cannot be so without a purpose, these has to have some purpose in creating this Universe and creating us. Which is exactly opposite of the science thinking that believes in accidental existence of this Universe and all this living beings & human race.

So, that's all for now. I will definitely continue this topic as I intercept more information related to the topic which always fascinates me.      

Hope to see you guys soon !!!! 

        

The Lost Technology of The World - The Mantras

                          When people look at The Great Pyramid, Pyramids from Mayan civilization & the great Sumerian cities & Harrapan cities, we often wonder how can the people from 3000BC can make such high-end structures at that time. The answer to this question is very difficult. Youtube is full of this topic trying to explain the things, where mainly they talk about the aliens. The claim the existence & influence of aliens at that era.

                          However, I have completely different approach to look at these things & hence compelled me to write it on my blog.  

                          This theory of mine is based on historical facts & religious myths and books.

                           One thing that everyone must agree with me is that that time and those civilization was one of the most advanced civilization. However there is one thing common in all these civilization. That is after the downfall of these civilizations and when these great cities cease to exist, suddenly there was one kind of void in human civilization. Its like a those people who survived after that  has no clue whatsoever about the great technology. It took human next 5000 years to reach that level, that much was the degradation of humanity.

                           Now, the question is what is that thing or technology that helped in creating those unimaginable monuments. Did aliens really came on earth and taught human or helped human?

                          I get my answer when I look into the evolution of human & evolution of its belief in God & evolution of human consciousness. 

                          After the first human formed on earth or in science language when there was sudden change in one of the human ancestors and when a first homo sapiens took birth in this world, or when nature had first start producing homo sapiens (today's true human), that's when everything start changing in this world. A new type of improve consciousness came into existence.

                        These guys have the capabilities in mastering the complex art form, these guys have the capabilities to make computers, mobile phones (I hope I am going write). All in all what I want to say is that their brain had advanced thinking capabilities.

                        Now as the number of these homo sapiens grew, each individual was unique in his own terms. Few wanted to grab power and wanted to become the most powerful person, few used to like music - for them music was everything, few like hunting, few like painting, few were super intelligent & few were completely dumb. 

                      But my interest here is with those few who were interested in harnessing energy from the nature. The one who use to look for some higher power & love to communicated with them. Here, I am not using the word spirituality because spirituality came much later. The breed of person I am talking about we can call them  shamans, sorcerers, witch to certain extent (the one who misuse the power), high priests. The person who has certain connection with the nature and who can communicate with the nature. Which of course now science calls it bull shit. So you guys understand what i am talking here, and I definitely not talking about spirituality.

                      In the same category comes the Hermits, Sages, Tantriks who can use some energetic words to fulfil their will and to complete some tasks.        

                     These are the people who first connected with nature's energy. One of the interesting thing is that few have acquired those techniques but there are others who were naturally blessed with this things. So, people who called them hardcore science can stop reading from here, but the same guy can come realize it after 100 years. They might understand what I am talking or it might take little longer.

                    If you go through any religious text also you will also come to know how a particular religion or the religion has evolved. How, multi-gods converted into a single God in due course of time.

                   Now, lets come back to our point. As hunter developed more advanced form of weapon, music start becoming for system & so is dancing. Similarly, these magician people started learning more about their magic. Now what is this magic? It might have first started with person who can communicate with their ancestor's spirit. The spirit who can tell the future danger, it can guide them on their well being, somewhat help them when they are in some problem. Which you can even observe today if you go to any remote village in Himalaya. 

                 The more important aspects is that the people who has developed this nature's energy harnessing method into a technology. Even more surprising part was these people were not using any device. This technology, which anyone could acquire was based on powerful words, some sacrifice & some specific rituals & dedicated to specific aspect of the nature or you can call it deity.

                 With time these pre-historic scientist has developed their technology to such an extent that they did mastery in astrology, astronomy & to certain extent sorcery or magic. Which resulted in great pyramids, they didn't keep mummies just like that there had to be reason and purpose behind that. They made huge structures or monuments so that they can harness fore energy. If you ask me Egyptian technology was the most advanced of that time. That's the reason Pharaoh of Egypt ruled liked a god. 

               This thing was not just limited at Egypt, it was every part of the word at that time. The same technology was getting used by the Great Sages in Indian subcontinent. However, they had power to reach so called heaven, but its a topic for different discussion. But one thing that was definitely there was that Magic power & their able to communicate with the nature.

               So, it was not aliens who came and helped Earthian people, it was purely done by human with the guidance of Nature. Yes we can say it alien from higher dimensions, but they definitely don't exist in this human Universe.

               And the next interesting part is this same thing can explain the downfall or extinction of this advance civilization. Though, these pre-historic scientists were not exactly responsible for downfall but to certain extent yes.

                Anything in excess is not good and specially when it is getting used for other miserable. That's when the downfall started. And when evil reach its peak nature has to do the correction. So, we can don't look at it by evils perspective than also its the law of nature what comes in the universe one day its has to go.

              And as we know today after that how the human again started from scratch and a new Yuga has started.             

              This thing also gives lot of learning to we humans. In my opinion how advanced a human breed becomes it still under the influence of that Nature. However, I want to conclude this chapter with these words. pre-historic scientists were more powerful than today's scientist but still they had to go from this earth. So all in all live happy, give respects to everyone, keep the egos aside & enjoy this heaven,    

       

The Hindu: An alternative History

This is an excellent book by "Windy Doniger", where she has tried to explore the history of Hinduism. A must read book for all who are interested in the subject or History".

Here is a few paragraph from the book which try to mention that how Hinduism is evolved.

"          AN ALTERNATIVE ANSWER: FUSION AND BRICOLAGE

It is therefore unlikely that both the Vedas and Harappa were “a product of the

civilization of these two peoples,” but it is more than likely that later Hinduism was a product

of both of them, a linguistic and cultural combination of Vedic words and Indus images, as well

as other contributions from other cultures. In some areas this combination was a fusion, a

melting pot, a hybrid, while in others the elements kept their original shape and behaved more

like a tossed salad, a multiplicity. This is of course quite different from saying that the Veda was

composed in the Indus Valley cities. But even if the languages and cultures were distinct, as

surely they were, people from the two cultures must have met. Ideas already current in India

before the entry of the Vedic people or arising outside the Vedic world after that entry may have

eventually filtered into Vedic and then post-Vedic Sanskrit literature.55 (These ideas may have

come not only from the IVC but also from the so-called Adivisis or “Original Inhabitants” of

India, or from the Munda speakers and Dravidian speakers whose words are already incorporated

in the Rig Veda, though that is another story.) Survivors of the Indus cities may have taught

something of their culture to the descendants of the poets who composed the Vedas. The people

of Harappa may have migrated south, so that their culture could have found its way into the

strand of Hinduism that arose there. Some elements of pre-Vedic Indo-European civilization

may have been taken up by the last inhabitants of the Indus Valley. Some elements of the Indus

civilization may have been adopted by the authors of later Vedic literature. Some combination of

all of the above seems extremely likely.

A good example of this possible fusion is the case of bricks. The authors of the Rig Veda

did not know about bricks; their rituals required only small mud altars, not large brick altars. But

later, around 600 BCE, when the Vedic people had moved down into the Ganges Valley and

their rituals had become more elaborate, they began to build large brick altars. The size of the

mud bricks was a multiple or fraction of the height of the patron of the sacrifice, and a fairly

sophisticated geometry was developed to work out the proportions. We know that the Indus

people had mastered the art of calculating the precise size of bricks, within a system of uniform

and proportionate measurement. The use of bricks and the calculations in the Vedic ritual may

therefore have come from a Harappan tradition, bypassed the Rig Vedic period, and resurfaced

later. This hypothesis must be qualified by the realization that kiln-fired (in contrast with

sun-fired) brickwork does not reappear until the last centuries BCE, a long time for that secret

to lie dormant. But other aspects of brickmaking, and other ideas, may have been transmitted

earlier.

Though the Vedic people told the story of their early life in India, and their descendants

controlled the narrative for a very long time, most of what Hindus have written about and talked

about and done, from the Mahabharata on, has not come from the Veda. In part because of the

intertextuality and interpracticality of Hinduism, one text or ritual building on another through

the centuries, right back to the Veda, scholars looking at the history of transmission have

assumed that the Veda was the base onto which other things were added in the course of Indian

history, just as Central Asia was the base that absorbed the impact of that interloping piece of

Africa so long ago. And in the textual tradition, at least, this is true enough of the form in which

the ideas were preserved, the chain of memorized texts. But from the standpoint of the ideas

themselves, it was quite the opposite: The Veda was the newcomer that, like the African island

fusing onto a preexisting continental base, combined with a preexisting cultural world consisting

perhaps of the Indus Valley, perhaps of any of several other, more widely dispersed non-Vedic

cultures.

The non-Veda is the fons et origo of Hinduism; new ideas, new narratives, new practices

arose in the non-Sanskrit world, found their way into the Sanskrit world, and, often, left it again,

to have a second or third or fourth life among the great vernacular traditions of India. These new

narratives and practices fitted into the interstices between the plot lines of the great Sanskrit

texts, as stories told in response to the protagonists’ questions about places encountered on their

travels or to illustrate a relevant moral point, or any other reason why. The non-Veda is not one

thing but so many things. We have noted, briefly, and can rank in the order that their records

appear in history, the existence of at least five cultures: (1) Stone Age cultures in India long

before the Indus are the foundation on which all later cultures built. (2) At some point,

impossible to fit into a chronology or even an archaeology, come the Adivasis, the “Original

Inhabitants” of India, who spoke a variety of languages and contributed words and practices to

various strands of Hinduism. Many of them were there long before the IVC and may have been a

part of it; many of them have never been assimilated to Hinduism. Next come (3) the Indus

civilization and (4) the village traditions that preceded, accompanied, and followed it, and after

that (5) the culture of the Vedic people. Along the way, other language groups too, such as (6)

the Tamils and other Dravidian speakers,60 who may or may not have been a part of the IVC,

added pieces to the puzzle.

Hinduism, like all cultures, is a bricoleur, a rag-and-bones man, building new things out

of the scraps of other things. We’ve seen how the British used the stones of Mohenjo-Daro as

ballast for their railway before (and after) they realized what those stones were and that a

Buddhist stupa stands over some of the ruins there. So too Hindus built their temples on (and out

of) Buddhist stupas as well as on other Hindu temples, and Muslims their mosques on Hindu

temples (and Buddhist stupas), often reusing the original stones, new wine in old bottles,

palimpsest architecture. In the realm of ideas as well as things, one religion would take up a

word or image from another religion as a kind of objet trouvé. There are no copyrights there; all

is in the public domain. This is not the hodgepodge that the Hindus and the early Orientalists

regarded as dirt, matter out of place, evidence of an inferior status but, rather, the interaction of

various different strains that is an inevitable factor in all cultures and traditions, and a Good

Thing."
