Science & Religion Two sides of the same coin?

My friend Madhavan Nair who successfully launched our India's moon probe, visited Balaji before launching. His wife also accompanied.
Religion is personal and let us leave it at that.Matters of faith be respected as the person's own private personality and mutually one may avoid treading on each other's feelings.

Governor Narasimhan and his wife were photographed, doing full pranaamam on ground to Pedda Jiyyar Swamiji at Tirumala.

There is a sense of humility and recognition of one's limitations as to what a human can do.

It is not power that Satya Sai. shows.. it is love for humanity that pervades from him. Each human is capable of this love , if he is able to get own swarupa saashatkara. These are not matters of science which deals with material issues and concerns. The so called laws of science are getting modified or abandoned whenever some new fact is discovered. I feel science and religion are not to be confused with superstitious attitudes of certain practitioners of religion.

Even in science there are enough of such die hard believers and followers of seemingly credible theories and cosmic models, refusing to accept the main stream generally accepted models of explaining the natural phenomena.

At some stage, even science starts having "believers" and non=believers, in certain esoteric theories. The points of singularity amply demonstrates the limitation of scientific thought processes failing to address each and every scenario. One theory or law fails and we patch up with another, and these two do not connect.

While I marvel at what we are able to unravel, the underlying thread of unifying single principle remains still a mystery like holy grail.

We have traveled quite a long distance in half of thousand years but groping still. Religious thoughts and explanations of the creation and the world have history of thousands of years. In fact quantum mechanics concept presenter did admit he got courage and inspiration after getting influenced by the ancient wisdom, At least he admitted.

If you eliminate superstition and fear based marketing of either science or religion, then you will have only pure jnana...quest for truth.

It is eternal. But the journey is what we enjoy.

The controversies trying to say science is threatening religion or religion is stifling science , are more based on certain individuals' own feelings of arrogance of some knowledge of one side of the coin and ignorance of the other side of the coin.

Comparing distorted dimensions of science and religion for arriving which is superior, is the provocative game people play. Those who are deeply knowledgeable, will hesitate to get in to this kind of needless and purposeless confusion of mind.

Humane approach is what humans need for each other. But groups can have time pass with this type of provocative arguments discussing science vs religion. One is material science based on evidence, verification and validation and another is intangible non-material contemplative inquiry. May be comparison of such diverse areas in invidious.

Om Shanti Om Shanti Om Shanti Let us be at peace with ourselves.

Regards

Just another day of Brahma we collide with another galaxy !!

Image
  Just in another day of Brahma our Galaxy collides with Andromeda : Earth continues but sky views change and Sun orbit affected !!  Image From Atlantic : reproduced .  In Hindu philosophy, a **Brahma day** (also known as a **Kalpa**) is a vast cosmic period that represents one full day in the life of Brahma, the creator god. This period is equivalent to **4.32 billion years** in human terms⁴. A Brahma day consists of **1,000 Mahayugas** (great ages), and each Mahayuga is made up of four Yugas (ages): Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga². After the completion of a Brahma day, there is an equally long Brahma night, during which the universe undergoes dissolution before the cycle of creation begins anew². This concept highlights the immense scale of time in Hindu cosmology and reflects the cycles of creation and dissolution that are central to the universe's rhythm. Is there a specific aspect of this concept you're curious about? Source: Conversat...

Are we experiencing life in a world already extinct millions of years ago?

Image
It’s not rare that my mind feels we are actually living in a world that might have been extinct millions of years ago!     As per Vishnu Sahasra Namam, part of Mahabharata authored by Sri Vedavyasa, Brahma praises his own father Sri Vishnu as Sahasra Yuga Dharane namaha . That if we take as life time for Brahama from his own birth before start of creation and own liberation annihilating the entire creation to join that realm which has no cycles of birth and death. —-ever present abode of Sri Narayana as per Brahmasutra and described in Sri Bhagavad Gita too. That is 1000x10^7x4.32 m or 4.32x 10^16 solar years.        The time scale of Sri Vishnu who is said to create and maintain this universe merely by a wish within less than a second of His time . This translates as the equivalent to 10^16 solar years is my submission. This is  followed by equal time period of yoga Nidra or entire universe transformed back in to suspended particles. So the process of...

For dummies like me, understanding Hilbert space and play of energy beams around my Atma ! : Using my Buddy Co-Pilot

Image
For dummies what is the Hilbert space and how does it help us? Hilbert space is a concept from mathematics and quantum mechanics that may sound complex, but let's break it down in a simple way: **Hilbert Space Basics:** - **Definition**: Think of it as an infinite-dimensional space, much like how we think of 3-dimensional space, but with potentially endless dimensions. - **Vectors**: In this space, you have vectors (like arrows) that can represent different states or points. - **Inner Product**: It has a special way to measure angles and distances between these vectors, called the inner product. This helps in defining concepts like orthogonality (perpendicularity) and length. **How it Helps Us:** - **Quantum Mechanics**: Hilbert spaces are fundamental in quantum mechanics. They provide the framework for describing quantum states and their evolution. - **Wave Functions**: Quantum states are represented as wave functions, which are essentially vectors in a Hilbert space. This helps i...
