| Scientists observed many other strange phenomena
at quantum levels. One such phenomenon is known as twin photon paradox
when a 1.02 MeV (mega electron volts) electron splits into two photons
of equal energy. These twin photons travel at the speed of light
away from each other. When scientists tried to disrupt one photon
(measuring horizontal or vertical polarization) the other photon,
already traveling at the speed of light away from its sibling, got
disturbed. Two particles traveling at the speed of light away from
each other cannot communicate with each other under known physical
laws as the speed of light is considered the ultimate limit. After
extensive research on these and other particle issues, scientists
finally concluded that this superluminar communication indicates
that we and the whole cosmos is connected with each other, to our
past and to future too.
Scientists claim that our present universe started with a big bang
some billions of years ago. Before that singularity was in existence.
The matter was condensed in a very tiny space. After fraction of
a second with big bang matter and energy made crucial decisions.
If the whole cosmos (matter/energy –space, time) has existed as
singularity prior to big bang and we are all descendants of that
unity then, like twin photons, we are all connected, not only with
each other but also with the whole cosmos. Furthermore, we remember
our past and can affect our future. In we build a very fast spaceship
and send one of the twin brothers into the space then practically
the other brother on planet earth will age and become older than
his space bound sibling.
Other experiments on photon interference showed that these tiny
particles could figure out what lies ahead (can see the future).
In nutshell, the universe is conscious. Our connection with family,
friends, earth, air, water, plants, animals, environment, solar
system, galaxy and the entire cosmos is eternal. When I peek
deep into the space via Hubble images, I feel as a part of the entire
cosmos. I feel connected with the past, present and future of this
cosmic rhythm. If I take a mechanical viewpoint of this cosmos then
it becomes very depressing. The place of planet earth in the entire
universe is similar to a grain of sand with respect to sand grains
spread over beaches of the entire earth and expanding. In that respect
I even do not feel as a cog in this giant cosmic machine. In fact,
it is so depressive that life becomes meaningless. However, when
I take a holistic approach of complementarity, I realize myself
as a player in this cosmic order.
One often asked question: Do material particles appear dancing
at quantum levels because of their small size compared to the size
of the measuring instruments? What if we use much smaller detectors
such as photons? Do they appear jumpy when viewed at macro levels
but relatively at micro-scale will be settled and deterministic?
The answer is NO. Particles at quantum levels have inherent chaotic
behavior by nature and they are unpredictable. The law of uncertainty
is applied not because of their size but due to their inherent properties.
Another oft-asked question: Is wave phenomenon due to small size?
No. Wave and particle are complementary as to be called duality
of matter. Our earth moves at a velocity of 27,000 Kilometer per
hour (Km/hr) and has a wave of 10-64 meter (m). A 1000
Kilogram (Kg) truck moving at 100 Km/hr has a wave of 10-33
m. A 500 grams football traveling at 100 Km/hr has an associated
wavelength of 10-29 m. A living cell weighing 10-9 gram
moving at 1 m/s has an associated wave of 10-17 m. An
atom has as associated wave of 102 m. Radio waves vary
from few meters to several kilometers. So we cannot get rid of wave
factor. It is more pronounced and practically measurable as the
mass of the material becomes smaller and smaller.
One wonders, how can we harness energy at quantum levels with all
this uncertainty and non-predictability? We have ongoing research
in quantum computation and quantum-based DNA computations. To harness
quantum level phenomena we need to shift our ‘belief’ from the principle
of uncertainty to complementarity. Once armed with holistic approach
of complementary theory we develop respect for our cosmos, our galaxy,
solar system, earth, environment, living creatures, water, air,
ourselves, past, present and future as an eternal connected entities.
A hard rigid dense particle behavior is replaced with dynamic, spiritual
and wavelike attitude. There is a tremendous interest in mind-body
and other forms of bioenergetic phenomena. We have electromagnetic
waves in our bodies that is how our system is driven and records
EKG, EEG, EMG, etc. Human body also emits gamma radiation from Potassium
and Strontium isotopes. However, bioenergy is a another field that
is oriented more toward quantum science concepts. Famous medical
schools such as Stanford University, Harvard Medical School and
University of Michigan etc. are involved in conducting research
in mind-body medicine. Scientists are trying to understand
and evaluate the effects of prayers, distant healing, healing-touch,
chi which are considered another forms of non-locality effects.
Non-locality in Physics is considered a spooky action at a distance.
Scientists are in search for ideal laboratories which are relatively
pollution free, especially in terms of electromagnetic pollution.
It is a challenge to develop an insulated laboratory to measure
bioenergy in the presence of radio, TV, cell phones, police, military
and other electromagnetic frequencies. Since there can be a wide
spectrum in bioenergy waveforms, a wide range of empty frequencies
are required in a laboratory setting. Chemical pollution may also
degrade the experimental results. Himalayan Mountains can provide
an ideal base for such experiments. Historically Sufis, Buddhist
monks, Sadhus and Saints had used these serene locations for meditation
and spiritual enlightenment. It will be prudent to extend the scientific
inquiry into traditional spirituality both for the benefit of humanity
and understanding of nature. This may also bring home the message
that science is not that entirely infidel. It has a very large spiritual
component too.
