God Doesn't Throw Dice!
Details
It has become quite popular in recent years to compare the findings of modern Physics with the ideas of Eastern Mysticism and conclude there is a common outcome.
Einstein spent much of his life looking for a Unified Field Theory to combine all the known physical forces. Quantum theory describes the 'ground state energy' from which all matter arises, implying there isn't 'nothing', but a state of virtual existence.
Eastern Mysticism, for example the philosophy of Advaita- meaning not two, has at its heart the underlying unity of all, and that everything originates from one Source- be it God, Consciousness, The Absolute etc.
Are these ideas merely analogous, or is there really a 'God Equation' that not only explains the physical universe, but the metaphysical universe as well? Or can the central order to the cosmos, as Einstein states, be directly apprehended through mystical union?
Was this his source of motivation by wonderment in the ‘Mystery of the Sublime’.
