Dark Matter, Quantum Physics & Consciousness

Sanskriti Today

A brief overview of the roadblocks on the path of scientific understanding of life and universe, at astronomical, quantum, and biological scale. An alternative Vedantic approach is suggested that stresses the importance of understanding who is the observer, rather than what is the observed phenomena.
Topics covered: Dark energy, dark matter, double-slit experiment, consciousness, vedantic paradigm.
