Taittiriya upanishad and the environment

The behavior of an atom or sub-atomic particle was found to be ghost-like. Objective reality became an illusion or something subjective. Determinacy and causality upheld by the classical physics gave way to the theories of indeterminacy and complementarity. The study of the microscopic world by the quantum physicists has proved the bizarre nature of matter. Like space matter also has a relative appearance, both scientists as well as upanishadic seers opine. Space, time, and motion (matter) are the three principles in the world of ordinary experience. The new generation quantum thinkers realized the role of space in the creation and dissolution of particles.В Particles come from and vanish into space. Scientists studying space and field have ruled out the pluralistic picture of the universe since they accept the space or field as a single continuous entity which is the basis of the pluralistic manifestation of the world. вЂњSpace has devoured ether and time it seems to be on the point of swallowing up also the field and the corpuscles, so that it alone remains as the vehicle of realityвЂќ. Yet we know that nothing spectacles is subjective.Д®insteinвЂ™s world view which he formulated before his death is worth quoting. With astigmatic spectacles on, we incline our head and see the scene in front of us rearrange itself. вЂ¦nature knows as nothing of space and time separately, being concerned only with the four dimensional continuum in which space and time are inseparably welded together into the product we may designate as вЂњspace-time.вЂќ Our human spectacles divide this into space and time, and introduce a spurious differentiation between them just as an astigmatic pair of spectacles divides the field of vision of a normal man into horizontal and vertical, and introduces a spurious differentiation between these directions. Sir James Jeans, the British psychologist points to the relative nature of space and time which according to him do not have separate existence in nature. Quantum fluctuations in the geometry of space are completely negligible at the scale of atoms, or even elementary particles, but at this very fundamental level space itself can be thought of as a foam of quantum fluctuations вЂ“ John Wheeler, who developed this idea, makes the comparison between an ocean that seems flat to an aviator flying high above it, but that seems anything but to the occupants of a lifeboat tossing about it on its stormy, ever-changing surface. This is akin to quantum inter-connectedness which Wheeler refers to as quantum foam. From plants food and seed and from seed and food came a living being, man. From akasha came air, from air the fire, from fire the water. Thus says the lore of India:ДЇrom atman-Brahman in the beginning came akahsa. In the state of pralaya the space-time is engulfed into the Absolute consciousness. The field is enveloped by space time, the first fictitious creation of the consciousness force. An object is only a pattern in the field of consciousness. Consciousness draws the picture of the manifested world in the canvas of space-time continuum. Manifestation of the world begins with its first step, the appearance of the space time continuum. Thus apah, prana and akasha can together be compared to the field of the quantum thinkers. This is the similar to the concept of the particles appearing from nowhere which again is the field. These three are active and things are produced from them and into them they return. Here akasha is said to have come from prana. The Upanishads speaks of apah, prana and akasha in decreasing order of subtlety. The field of modern science can be compared to this akashaВ . Taittiriya Upanishad refers to akasha or space as the first evolute. akasha is indeed their beginning and akasha is the final end. Where from do all these worlds come? They came from akasha and into akasha they return.
