Disclaimer:
- I am neither a physicist nor a researcher,
who is qualified to comment on a highly technical subject like Gods particle. But
going by the standards in main stream media in India, I am convinced that there
are no qualifications required to report or comment on anything. As a common
man, i am commenting on the much hyped discovery of the century, yet - God
particle from what i understand.
- Beware, this blog may give you a fresh
perspective, cutting the media hype and would probably make you think. I
request that you to "think" and decide if you want to get into a
remotely dangerous state called "thinking". :).
Let me start the blog with high respect to the
scientific community who are sincerely struggling to unlock the hidden secrets
of nature and there is not even an iota of intention to belittle their efforts.
Kudos to them for successfully spending few billions of dollars in about 2
years and building a 27 kms loop structure underneath Switzerland and France.
This has certainly pushed the limits of the boundary of the human efforts a
little further.
1. In the overall media hype it is completely lost that
CERN scientists have told that they have found something which indicates
that it could be a BOSON. But they are not sure about its
characteristics and they need more time to come (some time next year) with the
characteristics of particle. Let’s get this right, a particle is found based on
signal to noise ratio of 5 sigma level (as i understand) but they are not sure
about its full characteristics but have come out with a possible mass value for
the particle. Yeah!, that's right. They have not found god, they have not even
confirmed that its "Gods particle" (which has no relevance to the
name anyway) but they have found something about which they are 99% sure. This
sounds like a classical Rahul Gandhi statement that 99% of the terrorist
attacks are prevented in India by the government! In matters of life and death
and in science anything less than 100% would not do.
2. One logical question i had was after
spending few billion dollars did anyone expect that the scientific community to
come back and tell us that they have not found anything? Hey, you have got a
metal scrap framework for your $10b which can be part of the underground Disney
land in future? huh!
3. As I understand, the overall solution
fits into a standard model of particle physics which explains how particle
acquires mass or the mass phenomenon behind elementary particles and also to
explain a weak electromagnetic force. The theory proposes a new field called
Higgs field and new particle. The issue is, the model still excludes how dark
matter is formed and also it excludes gravity, one of the 4 forces of general
theory of relativity. This
means 96%+ of the universe is excluded from the standard model and it includes
only less than 4% of which we are 99% sure as of today without much idea on its
characteristics. :)
4. There was also a debate in one of the
Indian TV channels on "Spirituality
and Gods particle". Sadly neither the moderator nor the participants
had much clue on the fact that the God particle is a misnomer and also what we
have in our Vedic scriptures about the fundamental so called God's
particle (Paramaanu). It was surprising to note that the traditional
objections largely raised by the church and Islamic scholars for ages against
any scientific inventions were applied across all religions. I wanted to stand
up and highlight how Vedic scriptures contain tons and tons of slokas
/ verses based on this Paramaanu and also how this is codified in our languages
esp. Tamil and Sanskrit. Btw, at the risk of repetition let me reinstate that
the Boson is not the Paramaanu they are after since Paramaanu is applicable for
the 100% of the universe and not for just 4% or less.
I would request you to read this eBOOK
especially chapters 5 to 12 and 23 to understand the Gods particle in Vedic
scriptures, its size, and characteristics.
If you are wondering if the chicken or egg
came first, you would get the answer when you read chapter 5. Indian sages did
not spend $10b and a 27 km laboratory to unveil this but they unlocked the
secrets of universe through meditation which are codified in Vedas.
5. Assuming that Higgs Boson turns out to
be as expected in 2013 then I have 2 predictions as its impact on modern
science. Please note both the predictions are based on vedic scriptures since
the current science / theory is in variance to it.
Prediction 1: Scrap / modify the big bang
theory
The theory states that at the point of
singularity when the big bang happened all the mass evolved from a single
point, which burst across and consolidated as the present day universe. This
has to be immediately scrapped. Please read the ebook which highlights that the
entire universe was filled with Gods particle which were present in a resonant
state of NON-VIBRATION. They were not confined to one point as we are popularly
taught in our schools. Vedic scriptures say that this big bang was actually
Pranava which is the primordial light and sound that released the energy
because of which all these particles started its motion and condensed into the
present day universe. Shiva
Sutras state that the Damru
of Shiva produced 14 sounds after pranava based on which the particles
coalesced into the current day universe. This is the first prediction. You may
find the matter and energy correlation in Tamil and Sanskrit language of the
ebook drawing parallels to E= mc2.
Prediction 2: Change in the estimate of the
age of the universe
Please read Chapter 12 which is about the
vedic concept of time. In my opinion, none of the religions in the world can
match the time and space measurements to vedic accuracy till date. ~13billions
years predicted by the modern science as the age of the universe may get
adjusted to something lesser like 4 to 8 billion years. The model ACDM or WMAP
based on which the age of the universe is determined are based on specific
constants like Hubble parameter or background energy of the subatomic
particles. A deeper study would reveal that the scientific community has
reservations on this as the accuracy of the age of the universe is based on the
assumption that the model and the constants are accurate. I expect some changes
in this and we may hear that as a universe we are much younger than 13 billion
years. Why so?
As per Vedic scriptures the linear age of
the universe is ~300 trillion
years which is 100 years of Brahma. We are in the 51st age of Brahma which
means the universe is ~155 trillion years old in the linear sense. But it is
also told that after every day of Brahma (8.6 billion years) the world
dissolves itself and recreates again. So the age of the universe should be less
than 8.6 billion years old considering our scientists can measure the time only
before the dissolution.
Now answer an interesting question, what
happens to universe after 300 trillion years? It is told that the universe shall remain
in a state of resonant non-vibration for another 300 trillion years and then
the Pranava or the big bang shall come forth. So we are in a cycle of 300
trillion years. :)
One of the relatively new tamil scripture
called Thiruvasagam (திருவாசகம்) in the 8th century AD (Yes, 8th century is pretty modern day of
Vedic scriptures) Sage Mannikka vasagar gives a wonderful depiction of how the universe
looks in its Thiruvanda Paguthi (திருவண்ட பகுதி).
"அண்டப்
பகுதியின் உண்டைப் பிறக்கம்
அளப்பருந் தன்மை வளப்பெருங் காட்சி
ஒன்றனுக் கொன்று நின்றெழில் பகரின்
நூற்றொரு கோடியின் மேற்பட விரிந்தன
இன்னுழை கதிரில் துன்அணுப் புரையச் 5
சிறிய வாகப் பெரியோன் தெரியின்"
It says "The universe if full of spherical
objects in innumerable quantities and its order and rhythm are a beautiful
sight. Every object has a beauty of its own and they expand and spread across
the universe in crores. See
the sun rays that enter the house from a small hole in the roof, how the minute
particles rotate around that is how the cosmic bodies rotate in the universe".
Though i said that it is a relatively new
scripture in Indian history, considering that the rest of the world like Europe
and America were in dark ages and here in India a sage says how the universe
looks without any modern day gadgets and labs. The sun ray example was stunning
as to this is the picture we have of the universe today. The sage states that
the Panchakshara Mantra (Om Na
Ma Si Va Ya) helped him to
unlock the secrets of the universe.
So, how do i conclude this blog?
One of my friend from Singapore quipped
that when ever modern science makes a discovery and unlocks a secret it quickly
comes with a destructive aspect like a nuclear / hydrogen bomb from that
knowledge. May be he is right, we should expect them to come out with BOSON
bomb in the near future.
Rich scientific information is available in
our scriptures which we and the rest of the world are comfortably ignorant of. May
be the CERN scientists should partner with Indian pandits, get initiated into
Panchakshara Mantra, chant this in front of the Nataraja statue they have
installed in their CERN campus to unlock the secrets of the universe at a much
cheaper cost. :). Why not?
When the world is in recession we have
spent about $13b sofar, to unlock secret about 4% of the universe at 99%
accuracy without much idea on its Characteristics and whose benefits would not
be probably seen in not only in our generation but also in the next generation
(as quoted by one CERN executive). Please let me know if any of us
are trusted with a financial / executive decision like this would we
have voted / approved it?
I read that Peter Higgs ditched his wife
for his career and hence successfully proposed this path breaking theory. This
sounds interesting as he proved, not always that there is a lady behind every
successful man. In this case he left the lady very far behind... :).
For the betterment of the world I think we
need only one particle, let’s call as "Devil
particle" which can
instantly punish the wrong doer without any delay. Justice as per natural order
(Dharma) should be dispensed instantly, till then none of the discoveries and
inventions can help us evolve for the better.
The irrational hype around this event did
prove again the famous Einstein quote (slightly modified) that "Two things are infinite -
Universe and Media Hype and Iam not sure about the universe!"
Happy reading!
PS: This blog shall evolve as the hype around this evolves :)
