WESTERN PERSPECTIVE (TRADITIONAL)
As students, we all have learnt in our science classes that the world consists of Living things and Nonliving things. Living things eat, breathe, grow, move, reproduce and have senses. Nonliving things do not eat, breathe, grow, move and reproduce. They do not have senses.
Conclusions:
1. Life is present in living things.
2. Life is not present in non-living things.
EASTERN PERSPECTIVE (VEDIC)
चितशक्ति चेतना रूपा जड शक्ति जडात्मिका । [416, 417 Sahasra Namam, Brahmanda Purana]
Chitsakthi - She who is the strength of holy knowledge ,
Chethana roopa - She who is the personification of the power behind action,
Jada shakthi - She who is the strength of the immobile,
Jadathmikha - She who is the world of immobile.
Conclusions:
1. Life is present in living things as kinetic energy.
2. Life is present in non-living things as potential energy.
WESTERN PERSPECTIVE (QUANTUM PHYSICS)
DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT INTERPRETATION
According to quantum mechanics, the subatomic level of the world exists in a state of superposition where a subatomic particle exists partly in all its particular, theoretically possible states (or, configuration of its properties) simultaneously; but, when measured or observed, it gives a result corresponding to only one of the possible configurations. In other words, a sub atomic particle is spread out all over the place as a wave of potentials until an observer localizes it as an actual particle through that very act of observation. Let us look at the act of choosing in detail.
The famous double-slit experiment actually captured this protean nature of the quantum world. The double-slit experiment essentially launched particles through a single slit, whereby each particle left a residual mark on the back wall where it landed (creating a single band pattern). However, when particles were launched through two slits, they left a residual interference pattern on the back wall (which can only be created by waves that interfere with each other). Even when particles were launched through the two slits one at a time, they still created an interference pattern. (This occurrence is impossible according to classical physics.) So, in order to figure out how this interference pattern was occurring, physicists placed a measuring device by the slits to observe the particles after they were launched.
Astonishingly, when the particles were launched with the measuring device in place, they actually created a residual mark of a double band pattern (which was expected in the first place). What physicists determined was that, prior to being observed, each single particle actually existed as a wave of potentials that simultaneously went through both slits at the same time; thus interfering with itself and leaving a residual interference pattern. So in essence, observation then collapses the quantum wave function of particles and thus localizes them at a fixed point. The entire scientific community was baffled by this strange mechanism. When there is no observer, the result is a wave and when there is one, then the result is a particle. Prior to any observation or measurement, things exist as a wave of potentials. The act of observation collapses the wave of potential into discrete points.
Conclusions:
1. An observer through observation, affects the nature of reality.
2. The capability of an observer to observe could also be referred to as Consciousness of the observer.
3. The capability of an observer to observe is also its sensory current and therefore the more the frame rate of observation, the more conscious the observer and the clearer the pattern.
4. In this particular case, the observer is a Non Observing entity, however the capability of sensing or observing is electrically and magnetically induced in the device. Therefore there can be two types of Observers, Natural observers and Induced Observers.
