[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 176922, member: 18224"] THIS is what drew me to Sikhi so fiercely! I have always been deeply interested in cosmology - wanting to learn of the deeper inner workings of our Universe. Some interesting things I noted: So long ago, long before the advent of quantum physics, written in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji (P 21), was this line: <TABLE cellSpacing=5 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>[B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#cc0033]Wherever I look, I see the Lord pervading there, in the union of Shiva and Shakti, of consciousness and matter. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B]</TD></TR><TR><TD>[B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]jah daykhaa tah rav rahay siv saktee kaa mayl. [/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [SIZE=2]Why this line gave me shivers? Because an experiment known as the double slit experiment, proves the intricate connection between consciousness and matter. In fact, there is proof that a conscious observer is required to even manifest the subatomic particles that make up all matter... including our brains! (There goes the long standing theory that our consciousness is merely an emergent property brought about by the complexity of our brains!) What came first? Consciousness or matter? (chicken or egg)?? In our case it was consciousness... now proven by science! The 'measurement problem' scares many scientists for this very reason! Matter simply can not exist without a conscious observer!!! Consciousness CREATES matter. [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Also there are many references in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji to the 'cosmic sound' and the Universe being created by a 'word' In fact, Sikhism is not the only religion to describe the creation of the Universe in this way. What is really interesting is that all matter is really energy reduced to a slow vibration. Matter as we experience it, does not really exist at all... it's an illusion (Maya). In reality, the vast amounts of empty space between subatomic particles seems solid to us because of electromagneic forces holding everything together.
