Brahman Satyam, Jagat Mithyä
The philosophy of Advaita Vedänta has been briefed in the following sloka attributed to Äcärya Sankara:
slokärdhena pravakshyämi yad-uktam granthakotibhih |
brahma satyam jagan-mithyä jivo brahmaiva näparah ||
- meaning - ‘In half of a sloka I state what has been stated by millions of texts; that is, Brahman alone is real and this jagat is mithyä, and the jiva is non-different from Brahman.’ From this statement, the Advaita philosophy can be divided into three distinct areas of analysis – i) Brahman is Satyam, ii) Jagat is Mithyä and iii) Relationship between the jiva and Brahman.
A team of physicists has provided some of the clearest evidence yet that our Universe could be just one big projection. In 1997, theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena proposed that an audacious model of the Universe in which gravity arises from infinitesimally thin, vibrating strings could be reinterpreted in terms of well-established physics. The mathematically intricate world of strings, which exist in nine dimensions of space plus one of time, would be merely a hologram: the real action would play out in a simpler, flatter cosmos where there is no gravity.
