IN THIS study two things are involved: the evolutionary universe (brahmanda) and self-conscious human being (pinda). The former is "out there" and the latter is "out here". If latter does not exist, it is indeed difficult to know or perceive "out there". This is mainly because "out here" has the mind through which "out there" is known. Whether "out there" has mind or not, it is indeed, difficult to know. For "out there", it is a scientifically accepted back that the sun is "out there" 93 million miles away from earth.
Space is perceived by outer sense and time in the form of inner sense. Both (space and time) cannot exist in themselves but that exist in us (human beings have representations of space-time). This is viewed by conscious human being subjectivity as time and the former is perceived objecting as space.
i. The Samkhya-Yoga philosophy is embodied the concept of sattva, rajas and tamas. These three are in a sense comparable to the proton, the electron and the neutron. The proton provides the coalescence or the form of the atom. The electron gives us energy and proton provides the access (Catalina 1968: 32-33).
ii. The atoms of Vaisesika philosophy are not the atoms of modern chemistry, nor can we think as homogeneous ethereal or electronic particles.
iii. All the things are happening within the time and space. It can be recognized through events.
My gratitude is beyond words to Shri M.L. Pandit for encouraging me to write book in philosophy.
I express my gratitude to the authors from whose books the passages have been quoted in different chapters of this book.
I am, indeed, grateful to Shri Susheel K. Mittal, Director, D.K. Printworld, for his sincere efforts in publication of the book.
THIS study specifically attempts:
i. In the evolutionary universe and self-conscious being, the former is "out" there and like the latter is "out" here. If the latter "out" here does not exist, it is indeed difficult to know "out" there. This is mainly because human being is self-conscious, and therefore, he knows himself as well as the evolutionary universe.
ii. The Samkhya-Yoga philosophy is embodied with the concepts of sattva, rajas and tamas. These three are in a sense comparable to the proton, the electron and the neutron. The proton provides the coalescence or the form of the atom. The electron gives us energy and proton provides the mass (Catalina 1968: 32-33).
iii. The atoms of Vaisesika philosophy are not the atoms of modern chemistry, nor can we think as homogeneous ethereal or electronic particles.
iv. All the things are happening within the time and space. It can be recognized through events.
The universe of Big Bang itself had zero size and was infinitely hot. But as it expanded, the temperature of the radiation decreased. One second after Big Bang the temperature had fallen about 10,000 million degrees.
This is about 1,000 times the temperature at the centre of the sun, but temperatures as high as this are reached in H-bomb explosions.
- Hawking 1988: 120
At this time:
The universe would have contained mainly protons, electrons and neutrons (extremely light particles that are affected only by the weak force and gravity) and their anti-particles, together with some protons and neutrons.
On the basis of the above observation, an inference may be drawn that the universe at Big Bang seems to have taken place because of the existence of particles (electrons, photons and neutrons) in seed form before Big Bang. This shows that the origin of the universe is based on something rather than nothing. This may be supported by the Greek view that creation out of nothing is impossible (Glattfeldor 2018: 535).
The observations regarding particles are, however, quite intriguing. In the case of electrons, it is stated that something like mind is already present in the electron (ibid.: 534). This works as a particle as well as a wave. Further, electron is negative particle forming constituent of an atom. The electron moves in orbits round a central atomic nucles (Narlikar 1978: 253). Yet, it is indeed difficult to say the particle like electron has mind. This is mere imagination. Similar is the case with photon. It is stated that photon has a degree of consciousness. In this context, the following observation regarding photon is worth stating:
The idea is not that photons are intelligent or thinking [...]. But the thought is, maybe, photons might have some elements of subjective feeling, some primitive precusor to consciousness.
Glattfeldor 2018: 531
The photon is a particle associated with light. According to quantum theory, light consists of packet of energy (Narlikar 1978: 256). If one thinks that particles like electron and proton have mind and subjective feeling, it may be said that these statements are mere conjunctors.
