Scientific Secrets of Jainism
velocity of light, according to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, the
I mass of the objects would rise to infinity and their length/volume would be reduced to be zero or mathematically less than zero. In these circumstances even the virtual gravitational force rises to be infinite. They are transformed into black-holes and become invisible.
As a matter of fact, if the velocity of an object, rises to be equal to or greater than the velocity of light, the object becomes invisible. Light that fails on it, is reflected but till it reaches us it becomes excessively dim, its intensity excessively reduced or in technical terms of modern science, since the wavelength rises tremendously i.e. the amplitude is reduced tremendously and becomes less than infrared rays, the object becomes imperceptible to our eyes and that is the reason why, if we observe in the direction through telescope etc., we see only black spots or darkness in the round shape.
There are several reasons why the rise in mass and reduction in length/ volume are considered to be virtual. 1. There is an eternal rule of science and of Jain philosophical treatises that the quantity of matter (pudgal) and its mass in the whole universe is fixed and always constant. 2. The second reason is as under :
In the fifth Angasūtra, the Jain canonical scripture entitled Sri Bhagavatīsūtra or śri Vyākhyāprajñaptior śri Vivāhapannatti, the twenty fourth Jain Tirthankara śri Mahāvirasvāmi said to his first disciple Ganadhara Indrabhūti Gautam, nearly 2550 years ago :
परमाणुपोग्गले णं भंते ! लोगस्स पुरथिमिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ पच्चथिमिल्लं चरिमंतं एगसमएणं गच्छति, पच्चस्थिमिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ पुरथिमिल्लं चरिमंतं एगसमएणं गच्छति, दाहिणिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ उत्तरिल्लं० जाव गच्छति, उत्तरिल्लाओ दाहिणिल्लं० जाव गच्छति, उवरिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ हेछिल्लं चरिमंतं एग० जाव गच्छति, हेट्ठिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ उवरिल्लं चरिमंत एगसमएणं गच्छति ? हंता गोतमा ! परमाणुपोग्गले णं लोगस्स पुरथिमिल्लाओ चरिमंताओ पच्चस्थिमिल्लं० तं चेव जाव उवरिरल्लं चरिमंतं गच्छति ।
