Modern physics in the face of eastern mysticism

Due to this, some physicists today have abandoned the classical western view of the world based on Isaac Newton’s discoveries and are searching for a more philosophical outlook on physics. Eastern mysticism has the philosophical framework and it has been recognized as having many parallels with modern physics. One of the basic elements that will be discussed is the unity and

Quantum physics has many important explanations and one of them is the Copenhagen interpretation developed by Bohr and Heisenberg in the late 1920's. Bohr and Heisenberg believe that there is a interconnectedness in the universe and in nature. For example, during an experiment there is the observed system (the object) and the observing system (the human). First, the particle is isolated during the preparation process and during this stage the observed system must be free from external disturbances caused by the process of observation, during its preparation and measurement. During this process, particle A travels to particle B and a collision takes place, thus an interconnection is evident. It can be noted that the processes of the particle cannot be defined independently of these processes. With this idea of interconnection comes the many parallels of Quantum physics with Eastern mysticism that will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

Following these examples, one can realize that one major parallel exists in Eastern mysticism thought and physics which is the unity of all things. All phenomena in the world is experienced as a manifestation of the same ultimate reality. The unity of all things is present in modern physics and it is apparent at the atomic level and is even more recognizable in matter (subatomic particles).

Now that Quantum theory has been discussed in detail revealing the many parallels with Eastern mysticism, the next topic is Relativity theory. In the Relativistic physics, objects are processes and dynamic patterns which exist in a four dimensional world instead of a three dimensional, where force and matter are unified. This theory states that all space and time measurements are relative. This point leads to the distinction between the relativity of space and the relativity of time. The relativity of space can be elaborated upon through this example: imagine two observers floating in space and observing and object. Observer A sees the object to their left and observer B sees the object to their right. By extending this two dimensional example to three dimensions, it is clear to one that the spatial specifications such as ‘left’ and ‘right’ depend on the observers and are, thus, relative.

By this quote one can notice that the interconnected cosmic web that emerges from modern physics has been used by eastern mystics to express their mystical experience with nature. For the Hindus, Brahman is the unifying reality in the cosmic web:

there is stillness in movement can the spiritual
