Description
This book is divided into two sections. The first section is a work in physics. A condensed version of this part was published in the Prespacetime Journal Vol 7 Issue 16 (a physics journal focusing on studies in spacetime, models on elemental particles, fundamental forces including gravity and related topics) on 08/01/2017, titled “Avyakta” The Fabric of Space.” Based on the assumption of a fresh concept – ‘the fabric of space’ (Avyakta), the book attempts to explore the secrets of the universe behind various phenomena like matter waves, gravitation, energy in the vacuum state, spiral arms of galaxies, dark matter, Higgs boson and virtual particles which pop out of nowhere, big bang and cosmic inflation, and of course the anti-particle. The concept is discussed in a clear, simple and comprehensive manner so that even a person with only basic knowledge in physics can follow it quite easily. The fabric of space is shown to provide substrate for all physical fields including the electromagnetic field, gravitational field and Higgs field. The deep discussions are presented in popular science format, making it a pleasant read. In short, this book attempts to explore the secrets of the universe as far as physics can go.. and even beyond! The second section presents in-depth vedantic search in cosmology as outlined in verses from the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. It is presented in objective fashion, avoiding any superstition and religion. A comprehensive piece of work, the discussions shed light on many previously unknown levels and aspects. Since God cannot be considered in physics due to lack of experimental evidence, this section is provided as a separate part! The first book of its kind, it brings the diverse fields of Science and Philosophy into face-to-face contact. It is a thrilling journey for all types of readers interested in science or vedanta.
