Quantum Physics- Negative energy

Image
Negative Energy   Theoretically, the lowest temperature that can be achieved is absolute zero, exactly −273.15°C, where the motion of all particles stops completely. However, you can never actually cool something to this temperature because, in quantum mechanics, every particle has a minimum energy, called “zero-point energy,” which you cannot get below. Remarkably, this minimum energy doesn’t just apply to particles, but to any vacuum, whose energy is called “vacuum energy.” To show that this energy exists involves a rather simple experiment– take two metal plates in a vacuum, put them close together, and they will be attracted to each other. This is caused by the energy between the plates only being able to resonate at certain frequencies, while outside the plates the vacuum energy can resonate at pretty much any frequency. Because the energy outside the plates is greater than the energy between the plates, the plates are pushed towards each other. As the plates get closer together

Who is God?

Image
If God created this universe, who created that God ? Who created the creator who created God ? Such questions keep cropping up and there is no end to it. Which came first? The hen or the egg? The night or the day? There is no end to these questions; and there are no answers too. Who is God? Why did God create this world or this universe? Only he can be called God who is omniscient, omnipotent, and who is devoid of desires, and passions. If God really has these attributes, then why did he create this world which is groaning in agony and anguish ? If really God is such why did he steep 87.5 percent of the people of this world in poverty, misery and want; and why did he bestow prosperity and happiness on the remaining 12.5 per cent? Why? If God has created such a world impelled by his desire or curiosity, then the question arises whether he can be called God at all if he is a thrall to passions and desires. How can we say that God is "Karunanidhi,, (treasure of benevolence) if h

Atom Invention and Jainism

Image
The name atom comes from the  Greek  "ἄτομος"— átomos  (from α-, "un-" + τέμνω - temno , "to cut" [ 2 ] ), which means uncuttable, or indivisible, something that cannot be divided further. [ 3 ]  The concept of an atom as an indivisible component of matter was first proposed by early  Indian  and  Greek  philosophers. The nature of atoms in philosophy varied considerably over time and between cultures and schools, and often had spiritual elements. Nevertheless, the basic idea of the atom was adopted by scientists thousands of years later because it elegantly explained new discoveries in the field of chemistry. [ 7 ] The earliest references to the concept of atoms date back to  ancient   India  in the 6th century  BCE , [ 8 ]  appearing first in  Jainism . [ 9 ]  The  Nyaya and  Vaisheshika  schools developed elaborate  theories  of how atoms combined into more complex objects. [ 10 ] 9 ^  Iannone (2001:62).

Jain Symbol

Image
The Jain Symbol is a congregation of various symbols, each having a deeper meaning. This symbol was adopted by all sects of Jainism while commemorating the 2500th anniversary of the nirvana of Lord Mahavira.   The outline of the symbol is defined as the universe (Lok). The lower part of the symbol represents the seven hells (Naraki). The middle part of the universe contains the Earth and the planets (Manushyalok). The upper part contains the heavenly abodes (Devlok) of all the celestial beings and abode of the Siddhas (Siddhashila). Jains believe that this universe was neither created by anyone, nor can it be destroyed by anyone. It may change its form, but otherwise, it has always been and will always be here. The raised hand means stop. The word in the center of the wheel is "Ahimsa". Ahimsa means non-violence. Between these two, they remind us to stop for a minute and think twice before doing anything. This gives us a chance to scrutinize our activities to be sure t
