Foreword
The main significance of this book is to emphasize the role of space and time and the importance of "indeterminacy" played by Syädvada in Jainas Philosophy along with the Physicist Heiserberg's "Uncertaincy Principle" in Quantum Mechanics. Also with the importance of the unification of Space-Time by the great physicist and philosopher Einstein. For further information I have provided "truth-tables" of Jainas Syadvāda and Quantum Logic.
This book is written in view of the Einstein Theory regarding the unification of space-time and its role of the ancient schools (mainly Jainas) in perceptive of the modern age and also shows that the quantum theory which has to be of further advancement in view of the logical operations which created an empirical new standpoint of the world. In fact the book discusses how the Eastern and Western thoughts of space and time which is simultaneously play part in the contemporary world.
In Chapter I, the advent of the 20th Century, ventures into ancient thinking of old schools who could visualise modern ideas of space and time and quantum theory theory. In Chapter II, we in this book select the ancient schools of Jainas because I find it most suitable in view of the unification of space-time in the 20th century. The Jainas idea of space and time were exposed by their "Syadvada Theory" of seven possibilities.
In Chapter III, shows that the macroscopic ideas of classical logic were not sufficient to microscopic fields, in respect of Quantum (Deviant) Logic. This is in view of the
