COLOUR The Wonderful Charecterstic of Sound
Muni Nandighoshvijay
In the Oct. - Dec. 92 issue of 'The Quarterly' of Farbus Gujarati Sabha, I read the articles - Colour : The Wonderful Charecterstic of Sound', written by Urmiben Desai and 'The Secrets of the Samskrita Alphabet and Incantation Sound', written by Shri Ashok Kumar Dutta. I was greatly delighted and astonished to read them. Theortically, The Jaina philosophy regards sound as a transformation of pudgala (matter). Therefore, under no circumstances can the possibility that the sound has colour, can be ruled out. But the common man cannot grasp the colours of sound with his eyes. As I went on reading Shri Dutta's article and his extrasensory perceptions, my faith in Jaina philosophy became stronger and stranger.
I think that the particle - form of light must be accepted for explaining the phenomenon of photo-electric effect of light and ultraviolet rays and the wave-form of light must be accepted for explaining the fact i.e. phenomenon of interference of light. Similarly, the sound which is absolutely/fully accepted in the wave - form in modern science by scientists, is really in the form of particles according to the Jaina philosophy. And the extrasensory perceptions of Ashok Kumar Dutta also proves that sound is in the form of particles. Therefore, in course of time, the dual nature of sound like that of light will have to be accepted. As the branch of quantum mechanics has developed in respect of light, a new type of quantum mechanics will emerge in respect of sound. Recently, 'Abhiyan', a weekly magazine gave an information about an electronic instrument invented by scientists for protection against sound-pollusion. It also explained how the instrument works. With the help of it an anti - sound is produced against sound. The anti- sound goes towards the sound, dashes against it and destroys it. It works on the principle of destructive interference. For this reason sound must be accepted to be in the form of wave. But scientists explain the propogation of sound with the help of particles existing in the medium of air. And it is shown in the figure below :
