What is 'SHIVA' OR 'NOT-THINGNESS'..!? Spiritualism vs Science!

Sadashiva! 

Meaning: The Eternal One.

Let's dive deeper into this topic scientifically and spiritually..

The “Sada” means 'the Eternal' or in hindi language you can call it 'Jo hamehsa rheta hai' (The one who stays forever)..

-

The “Shiva,” there are two fundamental aspects that we are referring to. The word “Shiva” means literally, “that which is not."

Or you can say the 'VERY NOT-THINGNESS!' From every manifestation and un-manifestation happened...

And 'SCIENTIFICALLY' What is 'NOT-THINGNESS'?!

• Defining nothingness

Literally speaking when there isn't anything, it's nothing. However, the meaning of the expression "isn't anything" depends upon one's perception. For example, absolutely still air may appear 'nothing'. However, a gentle breeze that caresses the skin proves that air has 'something'. Thus we might infer that nothingness does not equal emptiness.

The question is: does absolute emptiness exist? If yes, how can we distinguish it from nothingness? What is nothingness composed of? How does the transformation from 'nothingness to somethingness' happen? Can we create something from nothing in the lab?

.

That's how spirituality comes in convenience and practicality.. The "SHIVA" itself is the very nothingness and beyond.. In scientific language we call it black matter or black energy from which every creation and destruction happened.. If we try to understand third eye, the concept is, According to hindu mythology and spiritualism 'THE THIRD EYE' or 'AGNYA CHAKRA' is the source or a fundamental aspect to look what is beyond. As science proved the colour is just a reflection of light. I can see you because light is reflecting you.. But what happens when light is not there. The 'DARKNESS' appears. The darkness is not the elimination of light. Darkness holds the light, we need something beyond to see what is inside the darkness. In this very arduous sitch we need the reference of 'third eye'. According to mythology the 'third eye' can discern and perceive beyond the elucidation. The dimension which is still unknown to many and from the very manifestation and un-manifestation happened is what we can call 'Shiva'.

• The content of the Universe

The Universe is believed to be composed of 72-73% gravitationally repulsive dark energy, 20% gravitationally attractive dark matter and 4-5% of atoms1. Dark energy is the name given to the mysterious energy-fluid that causes cosmic expansion in the old universe. Dark matter is believed to be made up of exotic particles like axions (a hypothetical subatomic particle postulated to account for the rarity of processes which break charge–parity symmetry) or WIMPS (weakly interacting massive particles). The rest ~5% is made of everything that we know as planets, stars, living and non living matter.

This lends further support to the fact that nothingness is not equal to emptiness. Based on available scientific evidence, some more generalizations have been made: 1. Empty space contains 'virtual' particles that continually form and disappear. 2. The so-called empty space possesses its own energy. This energy does not get diluted with expansion of space as it is the property of space itself.

A fresh look at E=mc2

Nearly a century ago, Einstein proposed the theory of relativity and the classical energy-mass equation E=mc2.

If we swap the terms of this equation, we get m = E/c2. This is an important but unappreciated variation which means if we "slow down energy by the square of speed of light, we get mass"!

Was this another way of saying how something is created from nothing? Further, if this equation is complete and accurate, the grand challenge is to find a technology to slow down energy by a huge factor and artificially transform energy into mass.

Under extreme conditions, virtual particles in vacuum can be converted into real particles. Though in theory one can make light out of nothingness, it is unclear how to custom-make a matter of choice from nothingness?

From spirituality to science and back

The identification of nothingness and questions about its composition and dynamics interested humans thousands of years back. Instead of outside, they looked for the 'stem cell of nothingness' within. From the scientific perspective, the justification for finding nothingness within comes from the fact that atoms are 99.99% space. The rest of the atom is not understood very clearly!

Turning outwardly-bound senses in the reverse direction, the science of breathing and the science of mantras were invented. People discovered that the cosmos that existed outside the body was the same that existed within. In contrast to the partial knowledge from sky surveys, the whole 'within-cosmos' study seemed to generate more knowledge.

Irrespective of individual perceptions, both saints and scientists agree that the universe has no beginning and no end. The universe is infinite, enigmatic and based on laws, many of which we do not understand.

In future, the sharp boundaries between science and spirituality will blur. The grand challenge is to understand the origin and evolution of nothingness and the laws that operate in the quantum space of dark matter.
