Abstract

Journey of science from the 19th century concept of atom to the creation of universe (big bang theory), inclusive of dark energy dark matter enigma of 21st century, is briefed along with the corresponding concepts of Vedanta as propounded by Swami Vivekananda. Swamiji envisioned in 1890, that the micro-world & macro-world are built on the same plan. He spoke of interdependence of every species in nature, popularised as ecology in 21st century. He propounded from Vedanta that: Matter & Energy are the same, proved later by Einstein. Indeterminacy to be the innate characteristic of nature, viewed through the prism of time, space & causation; akin to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle proved decades later. Creation of universe started from infinitesimally small with infinite energy primordial stage, termed singularity-- corresponding to Vedantic terminology of Anidavatam (no vibration) -from which sprang forth time space, energy, matter. But while the Vedantic concept speaks of alternate big bang and big crunch- continuing since eternity, science is silent on state before singularity, which science says started 13.8 billion years ago. Like a scientist, Swamiji explained abstruse philosophical thoughts making them as factual scientific truths, than using abstract philosophical jargons of a mystic.
