Always remember deep in your heart that all is well and everything is unfolding as it should. There are no mistakes anywhere, at any time. What appears to be wrong is simply your own false imagination. That’s all. But we live in a universe of Brahman, of Absolute Reality, self-contained Consciousness, where there’s perfection, perfect life, perfect bliss, perfect being. That perfection knows nothing about wrong and right, good and bad, happy and sad. It knows only itself as Perfection. And you are That – Robert Adams.

‘Towards Unification of Sciences,’ volume 3, number 3, keeps its timely appointment with a total number of six papers. In the beginning, it is found searching for life elsewhere in the universe, soon, it changes track to view cycle and periodicities of sun, and look for temperature below zero Kelvin; no sooner than examining how true is truth and how real is reality, it jumps over to origin of energy without beginning or end, and finally ends with a brief on Einstein’s unified field theory. 

The title of the first paper ‘Life Elsewhere in the Universe,’ is by Prof. Bishnu Charanabinda Mohanty, whose initial attempt was, obviously, to understand how life appeared on Earth, the only life-sustaining place. Though he could get how science explains the formation of living matters in harsh conditions of the early earth, however, science is unaware of how life appears in the living matter. Here, he brings out his knowledge of spiritual science to suggest that the earth’s specific physical conditions including the total solar and lunar eclipses may be considered as the preconditions for evolution of life on earth and concludes that the same physical conditions can be searched in the universe to ascertain the existence of earthly life on other celestial bodies. The second and third papers are also by Prof. Mohanty, and the titles, in that order are, ‘Eleven Year Cycle and Other Periodicities of the Sun: A New Interpretation through Planetary Conjunction and Opposition,’ and ‘Temperature below Zero Kelvin.’ In the former paper, he discusses about the uniform change of sunspot number following an eleven-year cycle, he revisits his own earlier proposition for the 85-year cycle, then he also covers many short-range periodicities by other scholars; and finally provides a cause-oriented analysis for the periodicity of the Sun. In the new concept, light particles (photons) carry photonic charge and the charge is negative below some temperature and is positive above that temperature; the radiation exchange among different celestial bodies in different angular orientations makes changes in the surface condition and the state of atmosphere of the celestial body. He concludes that, with further investigations, he would bring clarity on the new concept of non-electric charge and their inter-conversation. Then he begins his third paper with the fact that the thermal activity is caused in a temperature differential, and different relative temperature scales are in use to measure the thermal state of matter. After discussing the pros and con of the absolute temperatures at various levels of the sun and universe, he states that the so-called absolute temperature is only another relative temperature, and hence, temperature below zero Kelvin is feasible. Finally, he discusses all aspects of absolute temperature in the paper.

The fourth paper titled ‘Nature of Truth and Reality’ by Prof. Niranjan Barik is a wonderful narration on the subject, rather, it can be considered as continuation of his earlier paper published in the last issue of this journal. There, after giving an illumination of layers of physical reality as perceived by science, he concluded with Einstein’s vision of a single unified field theory controlling all natural phenomena, something similar as the all-embracing Indian Vedic ‘Brahman‘; and ended with the quote from Chandogya Upanishad. Here, he straightaway starts with a quote from Mandukya Upanishad, narrates how modern physics – through domains of classical, quantum, and quantum field theories – ascertains that the root of all physical reality is not primary matter, but the foundation of mathematical truth. Then he brings in Bhagabat-Gita and ‘pure-consciousness’-experience which is apparently more close to describe the physical reality, and fittingly ends with a question – ‘Can science stretch its limits beyond quantum physics and its implications to come to terms with this abstract concept of ‘consciousness’ vouched as the spiritual truth and the Ultimate Reality?’ The fifth paper ‘The Origin of Energy without Beginning or End’ by Dr. Partha Sarathi Mukherjee and two co-authors Pranshu Bharadwaj and Divyanshu Bharadwaj is a novel approach to develop a foundational model explaining the existence of energy without origin or creation. Deriving the concept from the ancient Indian cosmological description of energy found in Bhagwad Gita, this model aligns precisely with core physical principles and is presented in mathematically testable terms. It introduces a scalar field, called Prana Operator, defined on a domain with no geometry, time, or topology, yet through internal self-interaction, it generates entropy, from which structured fluctuations emerge. These fluctuations form the basis for observable energy, while their relational organization gives rise to space time and the direction of time. Conservation laws arise naturally from the field’s invariance. The framework introduces a fully self-contained explanation for how energy, causality, and geometry can arise from a field that has no beginning or end. The most significant point is that this approach bypasses the need for initial conditions, singularities, or external input. “The sixth paper, ‘Unified Field Theory: Envisioned by Einstein,’ authored by yours truly, makes an earnest attempt to present, in brief, the essence of Einstein’s Unified Field Theory program.” He was arguably the initiator of the idea of ‘unified field theory’, visualized this idea and pursued it during the last few decades of his life. This paper covers his attributes and postulates of the program, his successful journey through the special relativity and general relativity theories, and his genuine attempts at various approaches proposed by other researchers, most importantly maintaining his high intellectual heritage till the last moment of his life.

Towards unification of sciences make a few firm steps forward with this issue.
