Scientific Secrets of Jainism
photon particles is not equal to zero, but even it is a little more than zero, inc becomes infinite (oc). That is, the mass of photon particles becomes infinite and hence according to Newtonian equation F = ma, any type of the greatest force doesn't positively or negatively accelerate the photon particles. i.e. They must be very powerful like micro bullets, and because of their infinite mass they must be black-holes. But as we experience in our daily life, the photon particles of sun-light do not have infinite mass, so scientists have to believe that the mass of photon particles is zero, when they are at rest.
And also this equation can't apply to the particles that have velocity greater than light-velocity, because here 'v' is always greater than c. And if (v>c) v is greater than c, the value of 12 must be greater than 1. So we will get negative value of L-12102 and a square root of a negative number is imaginary. So Einstein had to believe that there is no existence of the particles that have greater velocity than light-velocity.
But Jain philosophy doesn't accept this posulate. As shown in the Jain philosophical scriptures, the particle or an object that has greater velocity than light-velocity can decrease its velocity up to zero and a particle which
now, can maintain the velocity many times more than lightvelocity. We find a reference to this fact in the sacred Jain philosophical treatise named the BHAGAVATI SUTRA or the VYĀKHYĀPRAJNAPTI, which is as follows. This reference is in the form of question and answer between Lord Mahāvira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism and his first disciple śri Indrabhūti Gautama. It is as follows : परमाणुपोग्गले णं भंते ! लोगस्स पुरथिमिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ पच्चस्थिमिल्लं चरिमंतं एगसमएणं
पच्चत्थिमिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ परथिमिल्लं चरिमंतं एगसमएणं गच्छति. दाहिणिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ उत्तरिल्लं० जाव गच्छति, उत्तरिल्लाओ दाहिणिल्लं० जाव गच्छति, उवरिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ हेट्ठिल्लं चरिमंतं एग० जाव गच्छति, हेड्रिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ उवरिल्लं चरिमंतं एगसमएणं गच्छति ? हंता गोतमा ! परमाणुपोग्गले णं लोगस्स पुरथिमिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ पच्चस्थिमिल्लं० तं चेव जाव उवरिरल्लं चरिमंतं गच्छति ।
