(30) : Nandanavana
(a) Law of equivalence
All these statements may be agreeable in Jaina philosophy
These limitations are not found in texts
(b) Mechanics is unaffected by frame of reference (c) All events occur in absolute space and time (v) Classical laws have limitations for (a) small masses and (b) high velocities. They are also not applicable under polar opposite systems (vii) The special theory of Relativity has two postulates: (a) Physical laws are the same when stated for two systems with uniform translatory motion (Law of Equiv.) (b) The velocity of light is maximum and constant
The physical laws assume uniformity in systems in macroscopic world.
This is not agreeable. There may be super luminal speeds as in (i) atoms (ii) transmigratory motions and sound canonically. EPR paradox & PN theory possible.
(vii) The theory has led these concept: (a) Length, time and mass are Length, mass and time are absolute and relative and variable
invariable under all conditions. They
are related but not inseparably. (b) Mass increases with velocity (c) Length decreases with velocity (d) Time contracts with velocity (e) Concept of simultaneity of Simultaneity phenomena are not found in space and time have only relative canons, but it could be inferred absolute meaning and not absolute
because of similar nature. The third
predication gives hint at simultaneity. (f) Motion and rest are relative Motion and rest depends on absolute independent of any inert or active and independent mediums. They cannot medium. Systems can work occur without them. Despite their without them and therefore, not current relativity, their absoluteness still needed
- remains intact. (g) Radiations are not purely Light and heat (only the two forms in waves, but particles (Quanta) of canons) radiations are mattergic or energy also. Thus, they show a corpuscular in nature. Their wave dual nature
nature is not traceable in canons. However, Anekantavāda may support duality with different view.
