o
what extent the modern
science that has been founded by Isac Newton who says
“I don’t know what the world would think about me, but I
feel myself like a child who hangs around by the sea side playing with
stones and shells while an
ocean of realities stays
unknown in front of me” agrees with the realities that the
mystics have said or indicates these realities?
Let’s try to evaluate the answer from the point of
today’s physics:-
Modern physics is evaluated in two main groups.
While the first group is interested in the theoretical results
that can be observed through the experiments,
the second group tries
to explain the realities, the facts that have been told by the eastern
mysticism since centuries in a way that covers the statements of the
first group too.
The
most significant examples for this are Hysenberg’s indefiniteness
principle and Schördinger’s the cat
paradox. According to the indefiniteness principle, designating
exactly an object’s location and momentum at the same time, is
imposible. The more we approach to determine the location, the more
errors appear in determining the momentum.There is
also the vice versa. In
other words, to measure exactly the particle’s future location and
velocity, it is necessary to hold a light to
the particle. As some of
the light waves hit the particle and scatter around we can fix its location.
As the mistake in this process can’t be less then the
distance between two waves, to measure it more precisely a light of a shorter wavelength
is needed.
According
to Planck’s particle theory,
the light that has little grade isn’t used. One unit of light
is needed. That one piece will change the velocity of the particle
which it touches in an
unknown way. To measure
the location more precisely the light that has a shorter wavelength
will be needed, so that the particle will have a higher energy. In
this case, the particle will be effected
more. In other words, the
particle’s velocity will be measured wrongly. John Wheleer explains
this case and says “the observer interferes to the observed event,
therefore he is not in
the position of the observer anymore, but becomes the participant.”
In other words, the observed
and the observer become the same uniqe thing.
In
Schordinger’s cat paradox inside a chest or a big box there is a
cat, a bottle of
potassium cyanide and an hammer ready to hit . In addition
to these, there is a piece of radioactive material inside the
box. Nobody really knows
when it will emit the alfa particles. When it emits the alfa
particles, the hammer will hit the bottle, the bottle will smash and
the gas will kill the cat. Unless, nobody searches the case it will
stay unknown whether the cat is dead or alive.The answer, according to
Hysenberg’s indefiniteness principle will be determined by the
perceiver. In other
words, the individual creates what he/she sees. This result explains
the duality case that when particles are observed they exist, but when
they are not observed they behave as waves. Prof. Wigner states that
unless it is based on the conscious, it is impossible to make a
definition about quantum mechanic processes. John Wheleer asks
“Is the universe created strangely by these participants?”
and Sir James Jeans says as if he answers this question “The
universe exists as a giant idea
more than a giant machine, and the
mind can be the creator of the
physical universe and its ruler.”
In
such a universe the
difference between the mind and matter abolishes, matter is considered
to be a state of mind and
the difference between the physical
realities and the imaginary realities
cannot be distinguished. This indicates the reality that we are not
discovering the existing things, but we are forming them. Just
like the scientists accepting neutrino as a matter ( they have
materialized the neutrino) which does not exist in reality. They are
using it in the assumptions
of the equations.
Einstein
says “Gravity, electromagnetic force, energy, current, momentum,
neutron etc. are all theoretical structures, resemblances and symbols
that the human mind sets up in order to explain the reality that lies
underneath everything.” and
in this manner he clarifies the
subject.
We
can find the relation and its structure
between the mind and the matter comprehensively in David
Bohm’s hologram theory. Hologram is formed by separating two
different laser beams from a single laser beam. The first laser beam
is reflected from an object which will be photographed. Later,
the second beam is made to collide with the reflected first
beam. As a result an
interference pattern appears and it is recorded on a film plaque. If
another laser beam passes through that film and illlimunates it (or
any other form of bright light),
the three dimensional image of the object will appear again.
When you reach out your hand and want to touch the image, your hand
goes through it; only then you recognize that nothing exists actually.
That is to say, what ever your sensations tell you, none of the
devices in the world can determine that there is an extraordinaryl
energy in the place where the hologram swings in the air. The place it
covers in the space is only as much as your three dimensional image in
the mirror, just like your image takes place on the back part, silver
like surface of the mirror. In addition to this, if you
break the plaque
into pieces, each of the pieces of the will
form the same image when illimunatedl with the laser again.
Because,
Holography means that every piece of the film has the
information of the whole.
Thus, having the characteristics as being
formless and being a whole, explains
the following facts at the quantum level:-
Primarily,
it explains that the effect can be noticed at the same time both
on the matter and antimatter regardless of the
distance between them;
Secondly,
it explains the movement
of every electron in the plasma by having the information and
knowledge of the whole,
and
it also explains that in the double split experiment, when hundred
hypothetical particles are let to go through the split, after 10% of
them have hit the A area, the following
ones which are going through the split part
run away from the area as if they knew the probability.
The
Neurophisiologist Karl Pribram has found that the brain works according to the
holographic principle at the end of his researches. As a result, questions in the following manner were asked to him :
”
If the vision of reality in
our brains actually is not a vision, but a hologram then whose
hologram is it? What is the true reality? What
was observed by the observer? Was it this world
which looked as if it were made of
materials, or were the things that have been observed only the
interference patterns that have been recorded by the brain/ the
plaque?’’
His
answer was
“ Maybe the reality that we perceive in the form of objects
(such as the coffee cups, the view of the mountains, the chairs, the
tables …etc) is all a land of frequencies, a symphony of ringing
vast wavelengths which turn into the world that we know only after
they reach our sensory organs.’’
In
other words, our brains form the material reality mathematically by
interpreting the reflected frequencies from a deep existence order
which is beyond space-time. That is to say,
the brain is a hologram within a
holographic universe . David Bohm has explained this with the
following statement “The
reality that lies beneath everything is the vision of an order which
appears at the second stage. The
one who sets up this order is at the same time the order itself.
The one and only…”.
This
is the same as the basic
thought of the mysticism which says that everything in the universe is
imaginary. All the beings, within the limits of their capacity
perceive and bring out the cosmic consciousness which is the
only one whole structure that cannot be divided into pieces. All of
these vibrations of the
consciousness do not have a separate existence of their own, they are
only images….
