Science Vs. Vedanta Philosophy
❂ Science ❂ Vedanta
❂ --------------------- ❂ ----------------------
❂ Observations (external) ❂ Observations (mental)
❂ Axioms / Theories ❂ Realization / Meditation
❂ Experimental
❂ Conscious contact with
Verifications the Absolute ( like Client-
Server communication )
❂ Tangible Applications
for welfare of mankind
❂ Selfless LOVE for All +
equal resource sharing

A. M. Ghosh 18
Quantum Properties of Biological
Systems
❂ Prof. Bohr said : "...the existence of life itself should be
considered, both as regards its definition and
observation, as a basic postulate of biology, not
susceptible of further analysis, in the same way as the
existence of the quantum of action, together with the
ultimate atomicity of matter, forms the elementary
basis of quantum physics." [ 1958 ]
❂ { Von Neumann ( his research during 1932- 1946)
proposed a link between Consciousness &
Quantum mechanics}
A. M. Ghosh 19
Need of a New Scientific
Approach for Consciousness
❂ "...the impossibility in psychical ( i.e. Psychological )
experience to distinguish between the phenomena
themselves and their conscious perception clearly
demands a renunciation of a simple causal
description on the models of classical physics, and
the very way in which words like "thoughts" and
"feelings" are used to describe such experience
reminds one most suggestively of the
complementarity encountered in atomic physics.”
[ said Prof. N. Bohr in 1958 ]

Two Descriptions of ( just ) one
REAL existence
❂ Physical / Phenomenal
❂ Particle / Wave
❂ Objective / Subjective
❂ . . . Two describable sets of properties both
hold concurrently { like orthogonal projections}
❂ . . . The act of observing is what causes the
perception state vector to collapse into one of
many possible existential states
A. M. Ghosh 33
Henry Stapp’s Views : How Mind can Interact
with Matter via Quantum Processes
❂ Collapse events are occouring in neural-net
❂ Collapse of Brain states in the process of
choosing between many possible alternatives
❂ Body - Mind is having Particle - Wave
relationship
❂ Universe is not a fixed 4-dimensional structure
but is constantly forging ahead into the future
❂ Free-Will could be seen as directly instrumental
in the evolution of the Universe (Quantum
Darwinism) A. M. Ghosh 34
David Bohm [ in 2005 ]
❂ As Quantum theory & Relativity contradict one
another, there is existence of a more
fundamental level in the physical Universe
❂ Implicate order can explain both matter &
consciousness [ explicate orders are mere projections
of more fundamental Implicate order]
❂ Consciousness can be corelated to Karl
Pribram’s (1991) Holographic conceptions
