Jainism : The Eternal and Universal path for Enlightenment

In a broader perspective, the Uncertainty Principle offers a choice, though limited, in behaviour of nature. In the domain of biology, such uncertainty can allow evolutionary changes. The uncertainty in energy levels, for example, provides a scope for a variance in chemical reactions, leading to different products and thus bring about evolutionary changes. Exclusion Principle:
The Principle, first enunciated by Pauli states that two elmentary particles in the same "state" can not exist at the same place. No body can state it better or more rigorously or elegantly than Kabir, when he, after he gained enlightenment said "When I am there, God is not there and when God is there I don't exist, because the space is too narrow to accommodate both of us (who are in the same state).
Separately, the various quantum numbers may describe only a part of the reality, but taken together they described the whole. In the microworld, we encounter two other phenomena which have some relevance in the present discussion: confinement and entanglement. The property of “confinement" of quarks in the quark-gluon plasma has been observed. Simply stated, quarks can not be isolated and can not exist in free state as particles, just as the soul can not exist without a body in a free state in this world. They remain confined in the gluon plasma like the soul is in the body. It will only be speculative to think of what other attributes will be observed as one goes to further finer constituents of quarks, if there are any. Entanglement
Entanglement implies that all the particles in the universe, produced in the same process, behave in an inter-related manner, Briefly stated, when two systems of particles, of which we know the states, enter into temporary physical interaction due to known forces between them, and after a time of mutual influence, the systems separate again, then they can no longer be described in the same way as before. By interaction, the quantum states have become entangled. All the particles in the Universe were produced together at the time of Big Bang and therefore they are all entangled in some way. Conceptually it is similar to the Buddhist theory of Dependent-origination or munyavd discussed above. Nothing is independent in the universe. This is what we have basically learnt from physics that everything and every process in the universe, howsoever trivial, affects everything else or from chemistry that some thing of everything exists in everything
