‘Physics, as we know, can be studied in two phases: classical and quantum,’ said Vijay. ‘Sandwiched between the two is Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Isaac Newton is the starting point of classical physics, which focuses on macro objects and the rules that govern them. An example: for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. But Newton’s classical laws were never concerned with atomic and sub-atomic. Classical physics believed that the world was little more than a machine and that all motions of various objects within this machine could be predicted by classical laws already in place.’

you? What we call reality is the combination of observer and observed. We seem to create our reality and that is precisely what Vedanta wants us to understand.’
