Vedic and Modern Sciences

Insights Interfaces and Integration

Insights

Science is nothing but the finding of unity.

All science is bound to come to this conclusion in the long run. Manifestation, and not creation, is the word of science today. From the high spiritual flights of the Vedanta philosophy, of which thee latest discoveries of science seem like echoes.

Interfaces

After meeting the swami and after continued study of the Eastern view of the mechanisms driving the material world, Tesla began using the sanskrit words Akasha, Prana, and the concept of a luminiferous ether to describe the source, existence and constrution of matter.

"All perceptible matter comes from a promary substance, or tenuity beyond conceptoon, filling all space, the Akasha of luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving Prana of creative force, calling into existence, in never-ending cycles all things and phenomena."

Mr. Tesla was charmed to hear about the Vedantic Prana and Akasha and the Kalpas. He thinks he can demonstrate mathematically that force and matter are reducible to potential energy. I am to go to see him next week to get this mathematical demonstration. In that case Vedantic Cosmology will be placed on the surest of foundations. I clearly see their perfect union with modern science, and the elucidation of one will be followed by that of the other.

Tesla was unable to show the equivalence of mass and energy. But the search for a relationship between the two hung in the air and as we know the equation E=mc^2 was published just a few years afterwards, first by the Italian Olinto de Pretto in 1903 and Albert Einstein in 1905.
