"Who Am I?"
"I embarked on a journey to understand the true nature of existence, seeking answers through physics, philosophy, and mathematics. Yet, the question "Who am I?" remains unresolved. I ponder the existence of God and have explored Vedanta, the Upanishads, and Western philosophy, but none have provided a definitive answer. And so, my search continues."
What is the Exact Nature of Reality (Satya) : Published Soon
Physics, the Upanishads, the simulation hypothesis, and the concept of Maya converge at the profound question: What is the true nature of reality? Physics explores the universe through measurable laws, revealing frameworks like quantum mechanics, general relativity, and string theory, which uncover the underlying fabric of existence. The Upanishads, ancient Indian texts, delve into consciousness, the self (Atman), and the ultimate reality (Brahman), emphasizing that the perceived world may be an illusion (Maya), a construct veiling the eternal truth.
The simulation hypothesis modernizes this idea, suggesting that reality could be a computational construct governed by coded laws akin to physics. Maya aligns with this view, portraying the physical world as transient and deceptive. Together, these perspectives challenge us to see beyond appearances, explore the fundamental principles of existence, and question the boundaries between perception, consciousness, and reality itself.
I personally believe the universe is a simulation—a 4D game in which we are all participants. Physics provides the rules of this game, much like the code of a program, with frameworks like quantum mechanics, general relativity, and string theory acting as the governing algorithms of reality. The quantum realm’s unpredictability and the structured fabric of spacetime hint at a deeper, programmed design. This resonates with the wisdom of the Upanishads, whis describe the world as Maya—an illusion veiling the ultimate truth. The self (Atman) is the observer, connected to the universal consciousness (Brahman), the source of this simulation. Physics and the Upanishads suggest that reality is both intricate and illusory, inviting us to uncover its deeper purpose.
