________________ Theory of Relativity and Relativism : (29) Time is also elastic and variable serving as a frame or reference Divisions of time is an illusion E. Time. 21. Time is absolute, independent, invariable objective reality like space 22. Time may be divided into past, present and future F. Mind or Soul 23. Mind may be equated to consciousness There is nothing like soul as nonmaterial entity Mind represents subjectivity Mind may be residing in brain loosely. It could be a force, energy or nonmaterial as soul. G. Philosophy 25. Absoluteness of space, time, matter Reductionist ideology Sensory knowledge is complete and absolute giving valid description They are based on relativity and quantum theory Holist ideology Valid knowledge is not sensory only but is through knowing oneness of the observer and objects. It is better gained subjectively 8. Objective science is irrespective of observer, excludes subjectivity Physical observations present truth and absolute reality 9. Physics can't study reality but connections only between mind and observable systems. The observations present only aspectual truth, not the real. Measurement affects. Table 3 : Concepts of Relativity and Concepts of Jainas Jaina concepts No such classification exists Relativity There are two types of systems: (i) inertial and (ii) accelerated There are two versions of Relativity: One for each - (i) special theory and (ii) general theory. The special theory unifies mechanics and electromagnetics while general theory deals with gravitation (iii) Attempt is being made to unify the two theories towards a universal law. A super-universal theory under trial. (iv) Newton also had Relativity theory: The Relativity theory may be treated as equivalent to Anekäntavāda, which has only one version. Jainas do not unify systems or laws mathematically or experimentally. It paves the way, for intellectual unification. Jainas have unification trend on philosophical level in terms of 7-fold predication theory. No mathematical formulation attempted.
