The basic oneness of the universe is not only the central characteristic of the mystical experience, but is also one of the most important revelations of modern physics.“The most important discovery in the history of science“ -Prof.Henry Stapp, Quantum physicist.

Quantum mechanics (QM) is a set of scientific principles describing the known behavior of energy and matter that predominate at the atomic and subatomic scales. QM gets its name from the notion of a quantum, and that quantum value is the Planck constant. The wave–particle duality of energy and matter at the atomic scale provides a unified view of the behavior of particles such as photons and electrons. The notion of the photon as a quantum of light energy is commonly understood as a particle of light that has an energy value governed by the Planck constant. However, what is quantized is the angular momentum an electron can have as it is bound in an atomic orbital. When not bound to an atom, an electron’s energy is no longer quantized, but it displays, like any other massive particle, a Compton wavelength. While a photon does not have mass, it does have linear momentum. The full significance of the Planck constant is expressed in physics through the abstract mathematical notion of action.

Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger (German pronunciation: [ˈɛrviːn ˈʃrøːdɪŋɐ]; 12 August 1887, Erdberg – 4 January 1961, Vienna) was an Austrian theoretical physicist who achieved fame for his contributions to quantum mechanics, especially the Schrödinger equation, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1933. In 1935, after extensive correspondence with personal friend Albert Einstein, he proposed the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment. Read more: > HERE <

This discovery, first proposed in 1964 by the physicist John S. Bell was first confirmed by experiment in 1972 by Professor John Clauser at Berkley. It is an almost unbelievable result – unbelievable because the logical mind has great difficulty in comprehending how it can be true. Its impact on the physics community has been enormous. Professor Henry Stapp, a physicist at Berkley and an authority on the implications of Bell’s Theorem, has called it. The most important discovery in the history of science.

Erwin Schrödinger is one of the greatest physicists of 20th century was also an enigmatic figure. He was a brilliant scientist, philosopher, poet and a humanist who lead a complex personal life. He was deeply philosophical in his thoughts than any other scientist of his time, but he apparently did not make far-reaching philosophical conclusions from his work in quantum physics. He was held back because he knew there was a lack of clarity. His search for the truth never reached conclusion as his one time lover Hansi Bauer noted.

Erwin’s interest in Vedanta (one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy) and Upanishads started at a young age when he was accustomed to cold and hungry times in war-torn Vienna, but his belief in Vedanta remained the same until his death in 1961: He was a life long believer. Schrödinger was deeply influenced by the thoughts of Schopenhauer, and thus developed strong interest in Buddhist philosophy and Vedanta. He studied the works of Schopenhauer, Henry Warren, Max Welleser, Richard Garbe, Paul Deussen, Max Muller, and Rhys Davids to understand Hindu and Buddhist philosophies.

According to „Vedanta“; there exists only one universal being called the Brahman, which comprises all of reality in an undivided unity. This being absolutely homogeneous in nature: It is pure thought, which is not an attribute but the substance devoid of any qualities. The Brahman is associated with a power or a principle of illusion called Maya. As a magician creates illusion during his act, Brahman through Maya creates the appearances of the material world. Maya is the cause of the material world, and an indivisible Brahman is present in all forms of existence. The soul in reality is an infinite Brahman enmeshed in the unreal world of Maya. The unenlightened soul is incapable of looking beyond this illusion, but an enlightened soul knows the difference between its true self and the external illusory world thus paving the way for identifying itself with Brahman. This unity and continuity concept of All in One expounded in Vedanta is consistent with quantum physics where the universe is superimposed with inseparable waves of probability amplitudes. The Heisenberg uncertainty phenomenon and quantum Zeno effect is an allegory to the illusions of Maya or a prelude to the indivisible, All in One, Supreme Brahman.

In his lectures on relationship of spirit and science, Schrödinger believed that spirit is subjective and can not be subjected to objective examination. He quoted Sañkarâcârya’s commentary, Subject and Object; I and not-I are opposed to each other like light and darkness.

Hindu philosophers believed that ego consists of thought in its relation to God, Schrödinger wished to identify ego consisted of thought and the spirit. In a letter to Einstein, he once wrote that he doesn’t believe much in God the father, and Jesus Christ His son, and he lashed out Christian churches accusing them of gross superstition in their belief of individual souls. He continued to believe in the concept one universal being, the Brahman, which comprises all of reality in an undivided unity. Quantum physics has tremendous philosophical implications, which revolutionized modern thought in science and philosophy because it did not agree with the philosophy of materialism expounded by Newton.

Interpretation of quantum world suggested that strict determinism and predictability is not an accurate description of reality, and consciousness is an integral part of the laws of quantum physics. Quantum physical experiments conducted by Alain Aspect (to address Einstein’s EPR experimental results) showed that measurements on correlated pairs follow the quantum mechanical predictions. This result has been found even when the particles are separated by a distance such that even an influence propagated at the speed of light does not affect the result. Thus clearly denying the local realism concept of proposed by Einstein. This simply justifies the principle concept of Vedanta; that is, the reality behind the appearances of physics as an unbreakable whole. If the physical world is real, it is holistic and not merely the sum of separate parts. The wholeness created by the wave particle duality and the indivisible nature of quantum world is in agreement with Vedanta philosophy of unity or Oneness of the Brahman.

My career began as a biochemist and I have published over 60 original research papers in peer reviewed journals in chemistry and biological sciences. I have also published over seven chapters in edited books concerning electron spin resonance spectroscopy and free radical biochemistry. Over several years I developed strong interest in cosmology and astrophysics. I am firmly convinced that nature’s work in terms of its creation of the universe and life may be understood better from quantum cosmology, particle physics, philosophy of physics and universality of consciousness.

 Samkhya & Vedanta

Nach dem vedischen Zeit, die mit der Abfassung der Upanishaden ausklingt, beginnt in Indien im ersten vorchristlichen Jahrtausend ein Zeitalter, in dem verschiedene Philosophenschulen populär werden. Eine dieser Schulen heißt Sâmkhya, wörtlich: das, was sich auf Überlegung, Berechnung, Aufzählung bezieht. Die Weltanschauung des Sâmkhya ist von radikaler Nüchternheit und verzichtet auf Vorstellungen von Gott und Schöpfer.

… und der Dualismus des klassischen Yoga des Patanjali

pakriti-laya: Die Erfahrung der ekstatischen Einheit, wie in nachfolgender Passage der tejo bindu upanishad formuliert, steht im Mittelpunkt der upanishadischen Weisheit. Die Weisen der frühen Upanishaden waren die ersten, die ausdrücklich und voll beseelten Enthusiasmus über solch überwältigende Realisierung sprachen. Ihre nondualistischen Einsichten fanden bei den späteren Weisen des Vedanta ein vielseitiges Echo. Für sie war, genauso wie für ihre Vorläufer die Metaphysik ein Versuch, eine rationale Erklärung für jenes „Etwas“ zu finden, das sie als lebendige Wirklichkeit erlebten – das Eine Sein, das Eine Wesen, atman oder brahman genannt.
