Knowledge is the seed; wisdom is the bloom 

– Traditional saying – attributed to Goddess Saraswati.

With blessings of Maa Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge and wisdom, ‘Towards Unification of Sciences,’ enters its journey into the 4th year with volume 4, number 1 containing six numbers of papers as usual. It starts with the possible feasibility of a new comprehensive unified science, following with a classical explanation of reflection and refraction of light; then changes course to answer why plants grow vertically upwards, discusses the limitations of research in astrophysics and possibility of quantum computing removing these limitations; comes back to throw some more light on unified field theory – this time bringing in the Chinese vision of Yin and Yang philosophy; and finally ends with how the cycle of necessity – mother – invention brings in the unification of all sciences.  

The first three papers are by Prof. Bishnu Charanabinda Mohanty, and the titles, in order, are: ‘A reality-based approach to the unification of sciences through micro-micro domain physics’, ‘Micro-micro structure of interfaces and photonic charge field: a reality-based classical explanation of reflection and refraction of light’, and ‘Why plants grow vertically upwards’? In the first paper, the author, starting from the basic formless mass-space interaction as the supreme reality of nature (Brahman in Vedic concept), presents a unified and reality-based understanding of nature with mass–space interaction constituting the basis of all physical existence. Matter, charge, energy, force, and time emerge as state-dependent, form-based properties of mass–space configurations across different domain scales. Recognizing the structural and functional similarity of centrally organized systems across domains restores cause-to-effect reasoning, removes artificial dualities, and enables a common conceptual language applicable to all sciences. Prof. Mohanty concludes that a comprehensive unification of modern science, Vedic insight, and consciousness-based studies becomes feasible when realistic assumptions, proper boundary conditions, and the existence of finer-domain matter are acknowledged, allowing science to align with the inherent uniformity of nature. In the second paper, he has introduced the rest mass of micro-micro domain particles such as photons, mass-space structure with nucleus and extra-nuclear space structure, charge in photonic charge units, spin and energy with energy level; thus, classical physics has a new scope of dealing with micro as well as micro-micro domain physics in a clear conceptual manner. Then he proceeds to successfully provide new understanding of reflection and refraction mechanisms from classical physics point of view. In the third paper dealing with plant growth vertically upwards, besides sunlight which is one known active factor in case of plant growth, Prof. Mohanty has considered three fields such as (i) the gravity field, (ii) the positive electric field (100 volts/meter), and (iii) the negative thermal field (60C/km) which may affect plant growth. Considering the fact that a tree is a natural good ionic conductor, the tree top attracts the positively charged particles including the ions of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere towards the growing front; he concludes that the natural growth of trees in vertically upward direction is well justified from the nature of electric fields present at the lower atmosphere of the earth. 

The title of the fourth paper is ‘Drawbacks of science in the field of astrophysics and role of quantum computing.’ Here, the author Dr. Kamala Kanta Jena, first elaborates the genuine limitations of astrophysical research. He points out that the requirement of large and expensive infrastructure to study an immensely big and complex universe, in itself, is a big limitation in its accessibility and progress. Then he suggests that quantum computing can overcome astrophysics’ limitations by enabling faster simulations, analyzing massive datasets, and modeling complex cosmic phenomena beyond classical computations. The fifth paper ‘Unified field theory: Chinese vision through yin-yang philosophy,’ is by myself, here, I just continue my review on the subject in the last two issues of this journal, with the universal archetypal opposites yin and yang, the ancient Chinese philosophy, in relation to unified field theory. The review focuses on the origin; history, application, and practice of the yin-yang philosophy in Chinese tradition including use of yin-yang philosophy as virtual and physical duality, as bipolar dynamic logic, as complex mechanics etc. The final paper titled ‘Necessity is the mother of invention: invention is the unification of all sciences,’ is by joint authors Dr. Archana Mukherjee and Dr. Partha Sarathi Mukherjee. Here, the authors highlight the cyclic operation of necessity – mother – invention, and how this cyclic operation brings in unification of all sciences. They point out that mother-nature provides nourishment to stimulate the brain which in turn brings up consciousness to a stable state with the most powerful apparent zero entropy.  They also confer that science is within conscience, and likewise gyana is within vigyana and the combinations of these are getting transformed in wisdom. Finally, they conclude that stable consciousness under apparent zero entropy leads to unification of all sciences.  

This issue of ‘Towards unification of sciences,’ with the width and depth of knowledge and wisdom derived from the blessings of Maa Saraswati augurs well for its journey into the fourth year.
