Scientific Secrets of Jainism
when propagating particles of Bhāṣā collide with other paramāņu-units of Bhāsā Varganā, and convert them into sound and get reflected. When the velocity of paramāņu-units of sound rises, with the help of electromagnetic force to the velocity of electricity, paramāņu-units of sound, too, propagate in a straight direction.
On the basis of all these scientific facts and on the basis of physics discussed and described in Jain scriptures, we can conclude that paramānus dominate the whole universe and these microscopic particles while retaining their particle form, can behave like a wave. Contrarily to what Fritjof Capra says, their waveform is not created on destruction of their particle form nor does their particle form come into existence on destruction of their wave form. In short, when they are stationary, particles are in the form of particles. When they propagate they are perceived like a wave. But the wave form of particles can be never seen.
I end this paper with an appeal to research scholars to explore the vast ocean of precious gems of knowledge lying hidden in oriental scriptures and assimilate them with modern science in the larger interest of human welfare.
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PHYSICS AND MYSTICISM IS NOT ONLY VERY INTERESTING BUT ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT......... MYSTICISM IS, ABOVE ALL, AN EXPERIENCE THAT CANNOT BE LEARNED FROM BOOKS.
