Geneva-Switzerland. The world's largest physics laboratory is located here, where 2,500 scientists, officials and technicians work and 12,000 scientists use it remotely. With all the most expensive equipment in the world, that laboratory is so large that it is located in Switzerland, France and Spain together. Its name is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, which is abbreviated as CERN. CERN's main research is on the smallest unit of matter (Fundamental particles).
A huge dancing Shiva statue called Nataraja is adorned in front of the CERN headquarters in Geneva. Why is there a Shiva statue in front of the main building of the world's most modern laboratory, which is owned by 23 modern Western countries? The statue was installed not too long ago, on this day in 2004.
The dancing Shiva statue called Nataraja, in this manifestation of Shiva, is the four hands of Shiva. He holds a musical instrument, the domru, in one hand, and fire in the other. Shiva is the symbol of power. When he dances playing the domru, the universe is created from his power, he is the creator, and when he dances with fire in his hand, the universe is destroyed, he is Rudra. The work of all the gigantic particle colliders or particle accelerators like the 27-kilometer-long Large Hadron Collider (LHD) at CERN is like that of Nataraja on a small scale. Trying to understand the transformation of energy and particles by creating and destroying them.
A statement by world-renowned physicist Fritz Kapra is written on the Nataraja altar at CERN: “Hundreds of years ago, Indian artists created many bronze statues of the dancing Shiva. In our time, physicists are using the most modern technology to create a portrait of the cosmic dance. The image of the cosmic dance therefore integrates ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics.”
The authors of Hindu mythology always confirmed one thing by observing that the world is a cycle. Everything in the world revolves like a cycle. And the visible material world is only a temporary form of the cyclic dance of energy. These patterns of nature’s functioning were easily grasped by the ancient sages and sages. That is why those who have become scholars in cosmology, quantum physics, fundamental particle science, etc., have read Indian myths. Many have learned Sanskrit only to read the Vedas Upanishads in their original language. There is only one reason, if those ancient scholars understood so much, there must be something else hidden in their thoughts.
In physics, just as elementary particles are the smallest unit of matter, viruses are the smallest unit of the biological world. Just as elementary particles are located between energy and matter, viruses are also located between the biological world and the material world. Just as the material world is immersed in a sea of unbroken and omnipresent elementary particles, the biological world is also immersed in a sea of unbroken and omnipresent viruses. If those ancient scholars understood the dance of energy and matter so much, what did they think about the dance of living beings and matter?
We who were born in modern times and studied science and technology seem reluctant to think outside our own boundaries. We are reluctant to even think a single thought about what nature's plan is for energy, matter and the biological world. There is no course in any university about what nature's plan is, it is not discussed. Nature does not mean a National Geographic documentary on a 65-inch flat screen TV, nor does it mean the lectures given there by David Attenborough. Nature means the interaction of living things and matter, energy and matter – the dance of Nataraja.
We, modern humans, who learn a little science, do a little math and show some technological excellence, think that we are the source of knowledge and we demand a long, trouble-free and disease-free life. We think that some unnecessary diseases are hindering our hope. Many think that someone or something (like China) is responsible for this. We do not even think for a moment about what nature wants. Do we not think that we are keeping pace with nature's wishes, with the patterns of nature's activities? Or are we trying to ignore it?
According to current scientific ideas, our current universe was created approximately 14 billion years ago through a 'big bang'. First, what is called in physics the singularity when there were no physical laws. After some time, the laws of physics, i.e. the laws of nature (physical laws) started working. From that, the lightest atoms were created for only three minutes. About four and a half billion years ago, our home planet Earth was formed. Evidence of the existence of animals was found there one billion years later.
About three and a half billion years ago, the process of photosynthesis began and after one billion years, oxygen in the atmosphere began to increase, which was not there before. Two and a half billion years ago, oxygen in the atmosphere came to its current proportions. About a billion years ago, bacteria and other single-celled animals were born. About 700 million years ago, multi-celled animals that lived in the sea were born, and then the first sexual reproduction began.
About 400 million years ago, fish were born and about 300 million years ago, dinosaurs. The first birds flew in the sky about 200 million years ago, followed by mammals. Bees appeared 100 million years later, and the first flowers bloomed. The ancestors of the ape species appeared about 10 million years ago.
About 4 million years ago, their descendants first walked on two legs. About 3.5 million years ago, stone tools were used, and about 1.5 million years ago, fire was used. About 800,000 years ago, cooking and eating began.
About 300,000 years ago, modern humans or Homo sapiens began living in Africa, and about 200,000 years ago, the use of clothes to cover the private parts of the body began. After that, society and culture began to emerge. Then came the emergence of customs, religion, and spirituality.
Ten thousand years ago, the spread of the agricultural system and then the emergence of information processing-based theoretical psychosocial influences such as thought, planning, ideology, morality, and politics. In the last 2,000 years, the spread of exchangeable knowledge and the emergence of a scientific-technological society. In the last 50 years, the emergence of digital processing, which resulted in the start of information processing in machines.
If we look at this entire evolutionary process from the beginning of creation to the digital age as the course or trend of nature, we see the emergence of matter from energy 14 billion years ago, soil 4 billion years ago, life 700 million years ago, a mind that can plan 6 million years ago, virtual spirituality-culture from 100,000 years ago which currently extends to digital processing.
That means that the animal-nature-world is moving from energy to matter towards virtual information processing. Whether that virtual information processing is in the brain of animals or in digital processors. That is, nature is moving towards converting the activities of the material world into information and processing them in thought (whether in the brain or in digital processors). The goal is to move from material events to thought simulation.
If we look at the matter from a slightly different angle. If any digital processor is placed under a very powerful microscope, it will be seen that it is just an insertion of some basic particles, but their arrangement is a very complex energy-particle matrix. Similarly, the human brain or any biological process is just an electrochemical reaction of cells on a micro scale. If you look at any chemical reaction on a micro scale, you can see that it is just a play of energy between electrons in the outer shells of molecules and atoms.
If you look at it on an even smaller scale, it is just a reaction between elementary particles and energy fields. That means that on a micro scale, biology is actually chemistry, chemistry is actually physics, and physics is actually the interaction of elementary particles and energy fields. So what are the things that I am writing on the computer I am sitting in front of or the words that are coming out of my head? They are just the interaction of those elementary particles and energy fields, but arranged in a specific matrix. Where the main thing is how that matrix is arranged, the information and the matrix working on that matter (such as the subject of my writing) are also information.
Just as ancient scholars imagined the dancing idol of Shiva or Nataraja creating the universe by playing the tambourine or destroying it with fire, they said about the dance of the living and the material world that the dream of the living is real, its body, the objects around it and the physical reality are false, that is, Maya. What happens in consciousness remains, and it is the job of the living to carry it away. The body and material world are abandoned.
In the Brahmand Purana, there is a huge Nagaraja floating in the vast black ocean of infinite emptiness, whose name is Ananta Shesha. Lord Vishnu is resting on his body. A lotus flower has grown from his navel and Lord Brahma is sitting on a petal of that lotus. Who is the symbol of divine power and divine grace, who is the creator. Brahma's wife is Goddess Saraswati. Saraswati appeared as the mother goddess to help him in the process of creation. Every time the sleeping Lord Vishnu opens his eyes, the universe is destroyed, and when he goes to sleep, he dreams, and everything is created."
Vishnu is the sleeping god, whose dream is the universe, so it is Maya. The real is consciousness. Whichever is the goal.
Hindu Vedas, Puranas or modern physics both say the same thing, which is that matter or the material world is actually an illusion. Everything created by matter is an illusion, Maya. This is not the goal of our body, it is the goal of nature to create more complex information matrices through it.
From the simplicity of an electron to a 28-core Xeon W processor or from the simplicity of a single-celled organism to a game of complex and more complex structures like the human brain, whoever wants to go further. And to do that, he wants change, transformation, mutation. Viruses, cancer, destruction and catastrophe are his weapons of change.
If man does not compromise with nature on this journey and wants to move forward by developing the material world created for his own comfort and keeping the body fixed in the same ideal, it will be in conflict with nature. And we all know who will win in this conflict. Over the ages, thinkers of almost all religions or Indian sages and sages have said that abandon the illusion of matter, the illusion of the body, and come to the world of thought. Philosophers have spoken of plain living and high thinking.
He said that becoming a mature human being means gradually disregarding the senses and entering the world of thought because the body dies, not thought. Our goal is to hand over thought to the next generation so that the next generation can understand the nature of nature and prepare itself for that path.
It was written in the Rig Veda 3500 years ago, “Who knows for sure? Who will declare here? When was everything born? When did creation begin? The gods were created after the creation of this universe, so who knows the beginning of the universe? No one knows when creation began, or whether anyone created it or not – the one who is observing it from the sky above. Only he knows, or perhaps he does not know either.”
This is what they tried to know. They were so successful in this that they discovered many laws of nature that modern scientists are so amazed that they have come to this land again and again, to this land, many have learned the Sanskrit language, the predecessor of our mother tongue. From Schrödinger to Niels Bohr, Heisenberg, Oppenheimer, Tesla – there are many names who have said it openly.
After 3500 years, we have not progressed much in that bold teaching of the Vedas Upanishads. Religion means we understand the propagation of ego, factions and blind faith. We have killed philosophy in vain. Science has also become a slave to selling products to make life comfortable. Which is actually limited to the prosperity of the material world and body-centered knowledge. That is, it is now engaged in the service of the very path that has been told to be avoided in the Vedas and Upanishads.
In the last 20 years, three deadly coronaviruses have spilled over from bats to humans through zoonotic transfer. In order to isolate nature and for the material enjoyment and physical safety of humans, we have isolated human habitation and even agricultural production systems and animal husbandry from nature, as if trying to create an alternative fake nature for humans. We are isolating our extremely complex immune system from nature and relying on laboratory-made medicines and vaccines. Will nature accept this audacity? Never.
