contains in latent form all the other four properties, but expresses only of space, similar to the unified field before symmetry breaking. In ancient Vedic science, these five qualities or constituents directly correspond with the five sensory modalities of hearing, touch, sight, taste, and smell. This five-fold correspondence of fundamental constituents in nature and sensory capabilities is basic to the concept of qualia or sensory experience, but this is not yet appreciated in modern science (1).
Unfortunately these ancient concepts have been interpreted much too crudely in modern science, and were not seriously considered with respect to their possible relationships to the known fundamental forces (26, 1). As physical phenomena, these five fundamental constituents would be expected to map onto the quantum particle-force fields. According to Boyer (1), one reasonable mapping is that space relates to gravity, air to gravity and the strong nuclear force, fire to gravity, strong and weak forces, and water and earth to all four including electromagnetism. Space (Akasha)
Conventional physical space-time is characterized by local interactions limited to the speed of light, directly related to the Planck scale, zero point motion, and the uncertainty principle. These characterize the unifying gravitational force field, associated in Vedic science with the level of gross space. Air (Vayu)
The unifying force of gravity attracts space-time into clumps of the spacetime field, further condensing and binding into a gaseous state, which expresses the principle of air. Air has the quality of expansion to fill the available space within gravity, with the additional limitation of impermeability. The ether that manifests the qualities of space condenses into a more limited field or medium, which transfers energy via compression and rarefaction of quantized wave motion in space. In particle physics, the forces that bind or glue particles into atomic nuclei and compounds are the strong force and gravity. Fire (Tejas)
The next level of condensation is fire, associated with luminosity, form, transformation, heat, temperature, radiation, combustion, oxidation, and similar processes. When there are aggregates of quantized points as volumes in space that cannot penetrate each other, as in air, their agitation increases when space is
