Mass and energy
The elusive Higgs-Boson particle popularly called the God-particle is the focus of the world's largest scientific experiment. If identified, it would help explain why some subatomic particles are heavy and have a greater mass than others.

Hindu tradition believes that the entire cosmos is a combination of Shiva and Shakti. Shiva represents tangible matter and Shakti, intangible energy and qualitative aspect associated with matter. Mass and energy are interconvertible. Shiva and Shakti are also deeply interrelated; they cannot be separated.

The particle is like Shiva and the charge, spin, mass energy and such parameters are like Shakti . Looking for the Higgs-Boson particle is like looking for Shiva in Shakti finding the cause of the particle's mass ^ when actually they are both just different manifestations of the supreme unity. The entire experiment is analogous to finding the quantitative basis of a quality. Like trying to find a particle that makes beauty beautiful. Is it possible to find a tangible quantitative parameter for a very fundamental attribute?

Beauty is because there is an observer. The observer is also as much a manifestation as the observed entity as the act of observation. Nothing exists a priori. Even if the Big Bang theory were to be ratified, the bigger issue of who engineered its initiation still remains. And if space was also a derivative of the Big Bang, then in what space did this phenomenal expansion take place?

Every objective existence is entirely a function of the observer. So any phenomenon is inexorably connected with the noumenon. Subject and object are interdependent on cognition. Like the quaint example of a falling tree in the forest. If no one has seen it falling, then it never fell. The supreme knowledge ^ unification or segregation of Shiva and Shakti cannot be studied or experimentally verified. It has to be experienced. One has to become it. Meaning that the knower-knowledge distinction is no longer there.

Science might keep trying to satiate its unquenchable desire for tangibility but the end point of this endeavour will only yield ambiguity. Because the fundamental truth is that the observer in any experiment is a constituent of it. Identification and ratification of observer-observed dichotomy is an apparition. The hypnotic spell of maya . The greatest quality of maya is that it appears uniform to one and all. So, if everyone is unanimous about the existence of a tree, then it has to be there. Maya creates a uniform and consistent mirage and statistics coerce the senses into believing the appearance.

Physics didn't stop looking once Einstein proclaimed and proved the interconvertibility of mass and energy. Quantum physics opened a Pandora's box and ridiculed logic and the basis of scientific deduction. Quantum theory is virtually the science of the improbable, scientific logic leading to the illogical. It has come up with bizarre predictions like Schroedinger's cat supposition. We have tried to understand nature through a narrow prism and force its entirety into a limited frame of comprehension.

Probably, failure to demonstrate the Higgs-Boson particle might impel us to turn inwards and seek to redefine scientific approach. The Higgs-Boson particle is just a logical extrapolation of our limited understanding. It might just end up being the non-existent proof of a non-existent theory...

Experience never needed any experiment since it cannot be reproduced at will and under specified conditions. Probably unraveling the entire mystery of Creation needs not a Large Hadron Collider but a large perception assimilator.

Give it Alive
“I am rich enough”, said Alexander Pope to Jonathan Swift, “ and can afford to give away a hundred pounds a year. I will enjoy the pleasure of what I give by giving it alive and seeing another enjoys it. When I die I should be ashamed to leave enough for a monument if a friend in need was above ground.”
Day after day thousands die, yet the living behave as if they will live for ever. This is the most wonderful thing in life.

Samrat is a 26 yr old HR professional. On a regular day he reaches office around 10 am and logs in, going into various online communities and chat-rooms. He leaves office around 6:30pm and logs in as soon as he reaches home. He is online almost as long as he is awake. Samrat is only one of the numerous people who live more in the virtual world than in the real one around them.
Samrat knows that.” Life is hectic and it’s very difficult for me to visit and call up my friends on a regular basis. It is far easier to keep in touch with them on line, since most them are on line too. But it is true that the virtual world is becoming very real for us. We are moving away from the world around us.” he says.………………………………………………………………………CourtesyTelegraph


I Derive Joy

There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the ten minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
