Physicist's God and Brahman


PHYSICIST’S GOD AND BRAHMAN/ (ब्रह्मनंद) 


What is *physicist's God*?


Physicist’s God is an *ultimate fundamental reality which can be captured in a mathematical equation and observed physically*. 


They may be laws of nature or abstract concepts or virtual particles or anything else which is *objective*.


If you claim that something is beyond mathematics or observation, then such a thing is rejected as a contender for God.


So physicist's God has to be *an objective reality*. Consequently the physicist's God is always "knowable". It doesn't allow "unknowability".


Many scientists' philosophical view is that the ultimate fundamental reality is a "physicist's God" and not a "theological God".


*God* in abrahamic tradition is very different from *Brahman* in Vedic tradition.


In Vedic tradition, Brahman is *both knowable and unknowable*.


Depending on the individual's capacity, Brahman is knowable; beyond it, Brahman is unknowable. Here, Brahman is a *subjective reality*.


On the other hand, physicist’s God is an *objective reality*.


Physicist chooses to *prove* the ultimate reality through *experiments*; but a Darshanic chooses to *experience* the ultimate reality through *meditation*.


Choice is ours!
