[QUOTE="Sherman, post: 1248119, member: 3434"] Quantum mechanics is the most verified theory of physics and is true. But it is the mathematical equations that are true. Physical models or ontologys are still in the realm speculation. There are already paradoxes that have been experimentally verified such as particle/wave duality and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. This seems to contradict Aristotelian western logic and the law of the excluded middle. But Hindu scholars have long accepted paradox and contradiction as an aspect of reality and developed logics for it. That is why it was the Hindus who invented "zero". The Western scholars just couldn't conceive of "nothing" as a symbol that could be manipulated in a calculation. Many of the scientists who developed Quantum mechanics had knowledge of or an interest in Buddhist and Hindu philosophy. It shouldn't surprise us that "objective reality" is a fuzzy concept that dissolves on closer inspection. But coming up with conclusions from this about politics and culture is just entertainment.
