In Physics we have Quantum theory and Classical physics. Classical physics deals with objects with well defined behaviour which is predictable. All physical laws like gravity etc predict the behaviour objects accurately. Time, space, cause and effect are well defined.
On the other hand Quantum field is field of all possibilities and probabilities. Light behaves as wave when not observed. Light behaves as particle when observed. The observer effect changes the behaviour. Light as wave is field of all possibility. While light as particle is field of certainty and predictability.
Possibly Quantum field is similar to non-duality (Advaita Vedanta) and classical physics is similar to duality (Dvaita Vedanta).
Great Quantum Physists like Edwin Schrodinger Heisenberg and others were deeply influenced by Vedanta. Many of the discoveries of Quantum Physics are similar to Vedantic statements. On the other hand, many of the non-dualistic teachings of great Masters like Shri Adi Shankara are almost like discoveries of Quantum Physics.
Do we say Science and Spirituality meets somewhere ?
