Science Believes in Electrons Without Seeing Them — But Denies God for the Same Reason?
By Abhilash Rajendran | Hinduism Insights
-
The Electron Enigma
-
"Electrons… have never been directly observed. Scientists infer their existence through their effects."
-
Hindu sages recognized the divine in the same way—through its effects in nature, order, and consciousness.
-
-
Hindu Scriptures as Science
-
"The act of observation changes reality" — parallel to the Upanishads’ teaching on observer and observed.
-
Mundaka Upanishad (3.1.9): realization of truth transcends good and evil, echoing scientific transcendence of ordinary perception.
-
-
Quantum Connection & Maya
-
Advaita Vedanta’s Maya = quantum physics’ illusion of solidity.
-
Gita (7.24): "The unintelligent… mistake the apparent for the real."
-
-
Mathematics of the Divine
-
Isha Upanishad’s paradox of wholeness = infinity.
-
Surya Siddhanta’s earth diameter calculation nearly matches modern science.
-
-
Consciousness as the Unseen
-
Neuroscience can’t locate consciousness, only infer it.
-
Chandogya Upanishad (6.8.7): "Tat tvam asi" — That thou art.
-
-
Modern Relevance
-
Invisible forces (WiFi, GPS, dark matter) show our acceptance of unseen realities.
-
Katha Upanishad (1.2.20): "Smaller than the smallest, greater than the greatest, the Self is hidden."
-
-
Humor in Hypocrisy
-
"Scientists who dismiss God while studying dark matter… It's like rejecting your neighbor while studying the mysterious force that keeps rearranging your garden gnomes."
-
-
Lessons from Hindu Philosophy
-
Intellectual humility — Rig Veda (10.129): "Who really knows? Who will here proclaim it?"
-
Unity in diversity — Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: "The world is one family."
-
Sustainability — Atharva Veda’s ecological prayer about replenishing what is taken.
-
-
Sacred Science
-
"Science and spirituality are not adversaries but fellow travelers on the path of discovery."
-
Both explore realities beyond immediate perception.
-
-
Closing Wisdom
-
Mundaka Upanishad (1.1.3): "Nothing that is eternal can be gained by what is not eternal."
-
"In a universe where particles can be in multiple places simultaneously and consciousness remains unexplained, a little divine mystery seems perfectly reasonable."
-
Would you like me to make this even more succinct (like a one-minute takeaway set of bullets) or keep the expanded quotes for study/reference?
