  • Zero Energy Universe Theory Quantum Agrees With Vedas Hinduism

    Zero and Infinity are two intriguing Concepts.

    Zero is the absence of everything,yet something.

    Infinity is beyond everything and potentially in everything.

    Zero,first invented by Indians,was named as Safir in Arabic,then it traveled  through Greek,French and finally landed as Zero.

    Sunya is the name in Sanskrit for Zero.

    Sunya is absence of everything .

    This resulted in a lot of arguments among Philosophers of ancient India.

    While the Buddhists claimed Sunya as Void,Adi Shankaracharya argues the abscence quality or Attribute itself is a Quality or Attribute.

    As such, he states that there can be no Sunya in the Buddhist sense but Sunya is our inability to comprehend the Attributeless and thus the Reality is non dual,Advaita and the Reality is not Sunya as Sunyavadins of Buddhism state.

    Be that as it may,

    What is origin of the Universe?

    This is a very complex and controversial question,which philosophers and scientists have been attempting to answer.

    With the advent of Quantum Theory and Particle Physics,it is clear that the Universe we Perceive is not the only Universe in Space Time.

    There are many Universes existing in different planes at different levels of Time and Space.

    Space and Time,as Immanuel Kant puts it ‘are the two spectacles through which the Human Mind Perceives’.

    The Universe which we Perceive is limited by our Concept of Time and Space and even this Concept is conitioned by our Mind ,which is shackled by Space and Time.

    More on this in another article.

    Now in the Universe we Perceive,we have objects,animate and Inanimate.

    As things which are born or begin must die or end according to traditional science,these should have had a beginning , must end.

    In that case what was there before the Beginning out of which things have evolved?

    Traditional Physics has various Theories ,all of them incomplete .

    Quantum Theory seems to have arrived at a Theory that validates Universality of Al Theories and the answer to the question of Constant Motion of the Universe and its dissolution.

    Aided by Particle Physics,the answer t o the question as to out of what the Universe was made and what remains ,has been arrived at.

    This is the Zero Energy UniverseTheory.

    ‘The zero-energy universe hypothesis proposes that the total amount of energy in the universe is exactly zero: its amount of positive energy in the form of matter is exactly canceled out by its negative energy in the form of gravity.

    Pascual Jordan first suggested that since the positive energy of a star’s mass and the negative energy of its gravitational field together may have zero total energy, conservation of energy would not prevent a star being created by a quantum transition of the vacuum. George Gamow recounted putting this idea to Albert Einstein: “Einstein stopped in his tracks and, since we were crossing a street, several cars had to stop to avoid running us down”.

    The zero-energy universe theory originated in 1973, when Edward Tryon proposed in the Nature journal that the universe emerged from a large-scale quantum fluctuation of vacuum energy, resulting in its positive mass-energy being exactly balanced by its negative gravitational potential energy...


    ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते

    पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥
    ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
    Om Puurnnam-Adah Puurnnam-Idam Puurnnaat-Purnnam-Udacyate
    Puurnnasya Puurnnam-Aadaaya Puurnnam-Eva-Avashissyate ||
    Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||

    Meaning:
    1: Om, That (Outer World) is Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); This (Inner World) is also Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); From Purna comes Purna (From the Fullness of Divine Consciousness the World is manifested) ,
    2: Taking Purna from Purna, Purna Indeed Remains (Because Divine Consciousness is Non-Dual and Infinite).

    3: Om Peace, Peace, Peace. 

    Free Lunch Interpretation.

    A generic property of inflation is the balancing of the negative gravitational energy, within the inflating region, with the positive energy of the inflaton field to yield a post-inflationary universe with negligible or zero energy density.. it is this balancing of the total universal energy budget that enables the open-ended growth possible with inflation; during inflation, energy flows from the gravitational field (or geometry) to the inflation field—the total gravitational energy decreases (i.e. becomes more negative) and the total inflation energy increases (becomes more positive). But the respective energy densities remain constant and opposite since the region is inflating. Consequently, inflation explains the otherwise curious cancellation of matter and gravitational energy on cosmological scales, which is consistent with astronomical observations…
    Quantum Interpretation.

    Quantum Fluctuation.

    Due to quantum uncertainty, energy fluctuations such as an electron and its anti-particle, a positron, can arise spontaneously out of vacuum space, but must disappear rapidly. The lower the energy of the bubble, the longer it can exist. A gravitational field has negative energy. Matter has positive energy. The two values cancel out provided the universe is completely flat. In that case, the universe has zero energy and can theoretically last forever.

    The oldest Literature of the world The Rig Veda ,one of the four Vedas,the Religious Text of Hinus stztes this principle in Nasadiya Suktha.

    And Siddhas ,as explained in Tamil texts have called the origin of the Universe as ‘Poojayam’Zero’

    Another interesting Concept is that the Reality is Full.

    ‘That was Full,This was Full,Having Taken Full ot of Full,Full remains Full’

    Isavasya Upanishad.

    ‘

    Now Zero when added to other numbers,those Numbers’ Value changes ,yet Zero never changes.

    1. And the Concept of Full is as complete or as incomplete as Zero.
    2. Zero is Infinity?
    3. Both are devoid  of Attributes ,beyond Attributes like Brahman,the Reality.

    Then even nothingness was not, nor existence,
    There was no air then, nor the heavens beyond it.
    What covered it? Where was it? In whose keeping?
    Was there then cosmic water, in depths unfathomed?

    Then there was neither death nor immortality
    nor was there then the torch of night and day.
    The One breathed windlessly and self-sustaining.
    There was that One then, and there was no other.

    At first there was only darkness wrapped in darkness.
    All this was only unillumined water.
    That One which came to be, enclosed in nothing,
    arose at last, born of the power of heat.

    In the beginning desire descended on it –
    that was the primal seed, born of the mind.
    The sages who have searched their hearts with wisdom
    know that which is kin to that which is not.

    And they have stretched their cord across the void,
    and know what was above, and what below.
    Seminal powers made fertile mighty forces.
    Below was strength, and over it was impulse.

    But, after all, who knows, and who can say
    Whence it all came, and how creation happened?
    the gods themselves are later than creation,
    so who knows truly whence it has arisen?

    Whence all creation had its origin,
    he, whether he fashioned it or whether he did not,
    he, who surveys it all from highest heaven,
    he knows – or maybe even he does not know.

  • Annihilation Quantum Confirms Vaiseshika Atomic Theory Hinduism

    Annihilation Quantum Confirms Vaiseshika Atomic Theory Hinduism

     

    * Featured image is a representation of Dissolution/Annihilation.

    Propel have,after the advances made by Quantum Theory,started questioning traditional Physics.

    Accepted Theories of Modern Physics,on the limitation of the Universe,behaviour of Atoms are undergoing a vast change.

    Earlier,Atoms were considered the smallest Particle that can not be divided further.

    Then came the Sub Atomic Particles.

    And now effort is on to find the Bosun Particle in LHC at Berne.

    While these experiments are on way,the theories of Quantum in respect of Atoms and Universe is gaining currency with experiments proving Quantum on Particle Physics and the Existence and Time Scale of the Universe.

    Quantum has proved that contrary to accepted theory,An Atom is present in many places at the same Time.

    And the Atoms change when One perceives them.

    That is you change the Object when you perceive it.

    The Observer changes the Observed.

    The Observed also changes the Observer.

    In the light of these revolutionary Concepts,I checked what the Vedas say on this?

    Also what Viseshika System of Hinduism assert.

    Contrary to popular thinking Hinduism,Hinduism does not consist of only Vedas,Puranas ,Smritis ,Ramayana,Mahabharata.

    Hinduism consists of Six Systems.

    Sankhya,

    Yoga,

    Nyaya,

    Vaiseshika,

    Purva Mimamsa and

    Uttara Mimamsa(Upanishads)

    Each has a speciality.

    Hinduism is Collective Wisdom and it does not adhere to a rigid system and asserts only that system is perfect.

    Ri Veda,the earliest Literature of Mankind states,

    ‘Bhadram Karnobobhi Srunuyma Deva,

    Let Noble Thoughts reach my ears from everywhere.

    Atoms,according to Vaiseshikas,is the minutest particle and it can be divided further.

    It is called Paramanu.

    This Paramanu is of two types.

    One that is Eternal and hence can not be destroyed.

    Another type is the Paramanu that gets destroyed periodically.

    And the second type,combines with other Paramanus to form objects that are Perceived.

    The first type of Paramanu,which is Eternal .

    ‘The atoms of earth, water, fire, and air are eternal because an atom is partless and cannot be produced or destroyed. The common elements of earth, water, fire, and air, however, are noneternal because they are produced by combinations of atoms and therefore can disintegrate or change. The existence of atoms is proved by inference — not by perception — in the following way. All the composite objects of the world are made up of parts. In separating the parts of a composite object, one passes from the larger to the smaller, and then from the smaller to the smallest part. But when one comes to the smallest part that cannot be further divided in any way, then the process of separation has to stop’

    So the Paramanu of the Observable Universe is subject to apparent Destruction.
    However,the other type,which is Eternal remains unaffected.

    These Eternal Paramanus belong to,
    Akasa,Space,
    Time and Direction,
    Mind and Soul.
    The Paramanus of these three remain undisturbed at the Time of Dissolution, Pralaya.
    When reemergence of the Universe takes place the dissolved Paramanus create the Observable Universe.

    So, when the Universe is Dissolved,though some Atoms,in the parlance of Modern Physics,are destroyed,some remain.
    Now read what Quantum says on Dissolution.

    ‘
    In particle physics, annihilation is the process that occurs when a subatomic particle collides with its respective antiparticle to produce other particles, such as an electron colliding with a positron to produce two photon.The total energy and momentum of the initial pair are conserved in the process, and, more generally are distributed among a set of other particles in the final state. Antiparticles have exactly opposite additive quantum numbers from particles, so the sums of all quantum numbers of such an original pair are zero. Hence, any set of particles may be produced whose total quantum numbers are also zero as long as conservation of energy and conservation of momentum are obeyed.

    During a low-energy annihilation, photon production is favored, since these particles have no mass. However, high-energy particle colliders produce annihilations where a wide variety of exotic heavy particles are created.

    The word annihilation may also be used informally for the interaction of two particles that are not mutual antiparticles (not charge conjugate). Some quantum numbers may then not sum to zero in the initial state, but must be conserved, with the same totals in the final state. An example is the “annihilation” of a high-energy electron antineutrino with an electron to produce a W−( intermediate Vector Bosun)
    .

    If the annihilating particles are composite, such as mesons or baryons, then several different particles are typically produced in the final state.(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilation)

     

  • Shiva Thiruvannamalai At The Instant Of Earth’s Creation By Brahma

    Shiva Thiruvannamalai At The Instant Of Earth’s Creation By Brahma

    The Puranas speak of Time on a Huge scale.

    There are four Yugas and they are created, destroyed and recreated.

    According to Hinduism, destruction is a misnomer.

    It is hidden.

    Curious enough modern Quantum Physics calls it in a different way as projection of Multi Verses.

    Aarati to Tirupati Balaji Moolavar.jpg
    Aarati to Tirupati Balaji Moolavar.

    I have written a couple of articles on Multi verses in Hinduism.

    The Time scale of Sanatana Dharma has the following points.

    1. The Universe is created, hidden and re projected.
    2. This happens at three-time frames called  Manvantara, Kalpa and Yuga.
    3. Three kinds of cataclysms take place.One is water, Another by Fire and another is total darkness each of these correspond to the dissolution at the end of Manvantara, Kalpa and yuga.
    4. The Universe is eternal.
    5. Time is eternal.
    6. Time is non linear.
    7. Time is Cyclic.
    Arunachala Mountaion, Pre historic.jpg
    Arunachala Mountaion, Pre historic.

    Brahma’s day is divided in one thousand cycles (Maha Yuga, or the Great Year). Maha Yuga, during which life, including the human race appears and then disappears, has 71 divisions, each made of 14 Manvantara (1000) years. Each Maha Yuga lasts for 4,320,000 years.

    Manvantara is Manu’s cycle, the one who gives birth and governs the human race. before & after each manvantara there’s a sandhikal as long as krutyuga & in that time there is all water on earth.

    Each Maha Yuga consists of a series of four shorter yugas, or ages.

    The yugas get progressively worse from a moral point of view as one proceeds from one yuga to another. As a result, each yuga is of shorter duration than the age that preceded it.

    The current Kali Yuga (Iron Age) began at midnight 17 February / 18 February in 3102 BC in the proleptic Julian calendar (Year 6898 of the Holocene Era.) kalpa=ahoratra of brahma. Space and time are considered to be maya (illusion). What looks like 100 years in the cosmos of Brahma could be thousands of years in other worlds, millions of years in some other worlds and 311 trillion and 40 billion years for our solar system and earth. The life span of Lord Brahma, the creator, is 100 ‘Brahma-Years’.

    One day in the life of Brahma is called a Kalpa or 4.32 billion years.Every Kalpa creates 14 Manus one after the other, who in turn manifest and regulate this world. Thus, there are fourteen generations of Manu in each Kalpa. Each Manu’s life (Manvantara) consists of 71 Chaturyugas (quartets of Yugas or eras). Each Chaturyugais composed of four eras or Yugas: Satya, Treta, Dwapara and Kali. if we add all manvantaras(4320000x71x14)as long as 4 chaturyuga will be missing its because sandhikaal.after & before each manvantara so 15 sandhikaal The span of the Satya Yuga is 1,728,000 human years, Treta Yuga is 1,296,000 human years long, the Dwapara Yuga 864,000 human years and the Kali Yuga432,000 human years.[8] When Manu perishes at the end of his life, Brahma creates the next Manu and the cycle continues until all fourteen Manus and the Universe perish by the end of Bramha’s day. When ‘night’ falls, Brahma goes to sleep for a period of 4.32 billion years, which is a period of time equal one day (of Brahma) and the lives of fourteen Manus. The next ‘morning’, Brahma creates fourteen additional Manus in sequence just as he has done on the previous ‘day’. The cycle goes on for 100 ‘divine years’ at the end of which Brahma perishes and is regenerated. Bramha’s entire life equals 311 trillion, 40 billion years. Thus a second of Brahmā is 98,630 years. Once Brahma dies there is an equal period of unmanifestation for 311 trillion, 40 billion years, until the next Bramha is created. During one life of Brahma there are 504 000 Manus (Vedic “Adams”) are changing, there are 5040 Manus are changing during one year of Brahma, and 420 Manus manifest during one month of Brahmā. (See: List of numbers in Hindu scriptures for more such numeric details).

    During the course of my research into Sanatana Dharma I stumbled across these facts which are authenticated by Modern Science.

    1. Thiruvannamali in Tamil Nadu, India is over 3.5 Billion Years old.
    2. Shiva Uma Marraige took place 40 Millionyeas ago.
    3. Tirupati is over 2100 million years old.
    4. An ancient site is Chennai, Tamil Nadu is dated around a Million years
    5. Jwalapuram ,Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, India is dated around 74,000 years

    I wanted to look into this taking into account these points,The Age of Earth as stated by the Hindu Puranas and by Modern science.

    Now according to Hindu Cosmology, the earth is .4.32 Billion years old.

    The puranic view asserts that the universe is created, destroyed, and re-created in an eternally repetitive series of cycles. In Hindu cosmology, a universe endures for about 4,320,000,000 years (one day of Brahma, the creator or kalpa) and is then destroyed by fire or water elements. At this point, Brahma rests for one night, just as long as the day. This process, named pralaya (literallyespecial dissolution in Sanskrit, commonly translated as Cataclysm), repeats for 100 Brahma years (311 Trillion, 40 Billion Human Years) that represents Brahma’s lifespan. Brahma is regarded as a manifestation of Brahman as the creator.

    Modern scientific view is that the earth is…4.54 Billion years + or – 5 Billion years!

    ‘

    The age of the Earth is 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years (4.54 × 109 years ± 1%). This age is based on evidence from radiometric age dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the radiometric ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples.

    Following the scientific revolution and the development of radiometric age dating, measurements of lead in uranium-rich mineralsshowed that some were in excess of a billion years old.The oldest such minerals analyzed to date—small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia—are at least 4.404 billion years old. Comparing the mass and luminosity of the Sun to those of other stars, it appears that the Solar System cannot be much older than those rocks. Calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions  – the oldest known solid constituents within meteorites that are formed within the Solar System – are 4.567 billion years old, giving an age for the solar system and an upper limit for the age of Earth.

    It is hypothesised that the accretion of Earth began soon after the formation of the calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions and themeteorites. Because the exact amount of time this accretion process took is not yet known, and the predictions from different accretion models range from a few millions up to about 100 million years, the exact age of Earth is difficult to determine. It is also difficult to determine the exact age of the oldest rocks on Earth, exposed at the surface, as they are aggregates of minerals of possibly different ages..

    Now Thiruvannamalai,Tamil Nadu, India is 3.5 Billion years old!

    In Puranic version of Brahma’s creation, the first creation for this kalpa was around 4.32 Billion Years.

    In such great stretches of Time 5 to 10 billion years is allowed in calculation.

    Hence it is probable Shiva was at Thiruvannamalai when Brahma created the world around 4.32 Billion Years ago!

    I shall be exploring this data from other angles as well.

    The Arctic region today, comprises of kilometers thick sheets of Ice spread for miles together, with hardly any land or vegetation on it.. But, what if the North Pole, at some time in its history, did support land as well as vegetation???
    My research, turned up evidence that North Pole INDEED boasted of a continent right until the Miocene Period which however, got submerged during the subsequent Ice-Ages (!!).

    It says, of Meru thus,

    Suryasiddhanta once says square root of 10 is value of ‘pi’, but root of 10 is merely a crude value of ‘pi’ for teaching students and should never be used for any serious purpose. Any siddhanta must never abuse the basic laws of mathematics. The value of ‘pi’ is 3.14159265……., and not root of 10. In Vedic mathematics, there were formulae for computing ‘pi’ with 12 or 32 digit accuracy. Fot 12 digits, ‘pi’ = SQRT {2* (18000^2) / (65656565 – OCTAL 666)} ; Octal 666 is number for Satan in Biblical mathematics and is therefore subtracted.

    Earth’s equatorial circumference is 1600 * ‘pi’ = 5026.5482457… yojanas, whereas Manda-paridhi of sun is 5040 yojanas (5039.990052). One degree (amsha0 of manda paridhi is sun’s paridhyamsha (= paridhi + amsha) = 5040 / 360 = 14 yojanas (13.9999723667) per degree. The diameter of manda-paridhi is 5040/pi = 1604.278659816 yojanas or 34.112669 kms, which is the distance of the centre of Manda-paridhi from Earth’s equatorial surface. it is equal to the height of Mt Meru (Mt Kenya = 5.199 Kms) and a mysterious term equal to 28.913669002241621530835902160508 Kms. It is equal to sum of four components :

    d1 = R * sin(180 degrees / 42000) = 28.6231184335656015… Kms
    d2 = R * sin(180 degrees / 4200000) = 0.2862311846025405641566… Kms
    d3 = R * sin(180 degrees / [4200000 * 71]) = 0.004031425135247426…. Kms
    d4 = R * sin(180 degrees / [4200000 * 71 * 14 ]) = 0.000287958938 Kms

    The actual centre of all universes is 28.913669002241621530835902160508 Kms higher than the tip of terrestrial Mt Meru (Mt Kenya) and is Divine Mt Meru.’

    I have written an article that

     

    ‘

    1.Lord Vishnu’s Nabhi as the center of our Milky way Galaxy verified.

    “The Galactic Center cannot be observed at visible, ultraviolet, or x-ray wavelengths because interstellar dust obscures the line of sight. All scientific information about it comes from observations of gamma ray, hard X-ray, infrared, and radio wavelengths. The precise astronomical location of the Galactic Center at approximately 3 degrees Sagittarius (sidereal) was first verified in 1918 by Harlow Shapley. However its energetic connection to the earth was not realized until 1932 when Karl G. Jansky, an engineer working for Bell Telephone, was investigating the source of the static interference with overseas telephone lines. He discovered that the interference was due to radio waves being emitted from the center of the galaxy. The source of the radio waves appears to be located almost exactly at the Galactic Center, and may coincide with a super massive black hole. This black hole has the equivalent mass of 4 million suns and is the source of most of the gravitational energy in our galaxy. Thus the Galactic Center is the Sun around which our Sun rotates.’

    Considering all these facts I tend to surmise that the Physical Meru is in the Arctic ( I have a post that the inside of the Earth is not hollow) ans also a spiritual plane.

    After all what is In the Microcosm is in the Macrocosm.

  • Parallel Multi Universe In Hinduism Astronomy

    Parallel Multi Universe In Hinduism Astronomy

    Hinduism is the first religion o have formed  a Cyclic Theroy of Time, that is Time runs in cycles,

     

    The Four Yugas, Aeons, Krutha, Tretha,Dwapara and Kali repeat themselves without end.

     

    One approach to establishing the Multi verses is from the angle of the Atomic structure.

    Vishnu with Multi Verse.

     

    Please refer my posts under Multiverses.

     

    The other is to find it at the Macro level.

     

    The description of the Universe in the Hindu Puranas are quite detailed and they explain that there are many worlds with beings, that they intermingled, fought with each other.

     

    Please refer my post Aliens in Ramayana, Mahabharata,Hinduism.

     

    The description of the Constellations and their shifting movements  as explained in the Hindu system is validated by modern Astronomy.

     

    Our Pole Star shifts and so all the other stars with respect to our Sun.

     

    The Universe contains billions of Stars and they their Planetary Systems.

     

    Just as our Stars shift position in relation to our Sun, the billion Stars of the Universe shift.

     

    The term Adhitya refers to Sun in Hinduism.

     

    There are twelve Adhityas and Vishnu one among them.

     

    He , as I explained in my post ‘Vishnu once in 6480 years, Astronomy Precession  Equinox,’ emerges once in 6480 years with the changing Great Year, Yuga.

     

    The Devi Mahatmiya describes that the Devi takes the Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra around the Universe and shows them numerous Brahmas, Visnus and Shivas at work, before reaching Chintamani Gruha of the Devi.

     

    Please read my post on Chintamani Gruha.

     

    Now these countless Suns, having their own planets follow their own Laws, some  physical laws are the same as ours,

     

    People existing there travel among them, including the Earth.

     

    As the Physical laws there are different so is the definition of Life.

     

    The composition of Life there may be different from ours, they mayor need not have the basis Hydrogen,helium or Carbon as the building block of Life.

     

    May be they might not need Amino Acids.

     

    I am providing an excerpt.

     

    ”

    The idea of a physical multiverse came later to physics than it did to religion and philosophy. The Hindu religion has ancient concepts that are similar. The term itself was, apparently, first applied by a psychologist, rather than a physicist.

    Concepts of a multiverse are evident in the cyclical infinite worlds of ancient Hindu cosmology. In this viewpoint, our world is one of an infinite number of distinct worlds, each governed by its own gods on their own cycles of creation and destruction.

    The word multiverse was originated by American psychologist William James in 1895 (the word “moral” is excluded from some citations of this passage):

    “Visible nature is all plasticity and indifference, a [moral] multiverse, as one might call it, and not a [moral] universe.”

    The phrase rose in prominence throughout the 20th century, when it was used regularly in science fiction and fantasy, notably in the work of author Michael Moorcock (though some sources attribute the word to the earlier work of author and philosopher John Cowper Powys in the 1950s). It is now a common phrase within these genres.

    According to MIT cosmologist Max Tegmark, there are four levels of parallel universes:

    • Level 1: An infinite universe that, by the laws of probability, must contain another copy of Earth somewhere

    • Level 2: Other distant regions of space with different physical parameters, but the same basic laws

    • Level 3: Other universes where each possibility that can exist does exist, as described by the many worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum physics

    • Level 4: Entirely distinct universes that may not even be connected to ours in any meaningful way and very likely have entirely different fundamental physical laws

    Tegmark’s approach is one of the few attempts to comprehensively categorize the concepts of parallel universes in a scientific (or, as some see it, pseudoscientific) context. The full text of Tegmark’s 2003 paper on this topic is available at his MIT website, for those who don’t believe that these concepts are scientific. (They may not be scientific, but at least they’re unscientific musings by a scientist.)
