Einstein once said: "Buddhism is the driving force of science."
Marx and Engels (founders of communism) also said: "Buddhist thinking is at a higher level of human thinking."
The "atomism" that we are familiar with now is academically thought to have been put forward by the Greek philosopher Epicurus.
The records of atoms in Buddhist classics are more than 400 years earlier than academic records.
The theory of "wave-particle duality" in the field of modern advanced quantum physics is consistent with the Buddhist understanding that "emptiness is color, and emptiness is color". Below I will make a simple explanation of wave-particle duality and emptiness is color:
Wave-particle duality;
Quantum physics is a subject founded by scientists when they study microscopic particles and explore the smallest and most basic unit of matter. As we all know, all substances in our world are made up of atoms, and atoms are made up of nuclei (charged particles) surrounded by electrons. When observing particles, quantum physicists find that particles not only have physical fluidity, but also have energy fluctuation ... (Details omitted) When scientists observe particle motion, particles move according to people's cognitive range, but when they are not observing, their motion mode violates people's cognitive physical motion mode. Scientists have doubts about this: is particle consciousness or human consciousness interfering with the trajectory of particles? ?
Finally, it is proved that particles are a kind of energy fluctuation, and human thoughts are also energy fluctuations. When human beings observe particles, the fluctuation of our human thoughts interferes with the running mode of particles, so particles run in the way we know. If the observer leaves, the particles will resume their energy fluctuation mode.
So quantum physicists put forward the "wave-particle duality" which is universally applicable to all substances.
From the point of view of particles, then all matter is like matter.
If we look at things from the perspective of energy fluctuation, then everything is in an energy state, based on immateriality.
Let's talk about the emptiness of Buddhism first
The "color" that Buddhists talk about is not pornography. Buddhists believe that all tangible things that can be seen and touched are called "color", that is, what we call "things", which is called "color method" for Buddhists.
What Buddhists call "emptiness" does not mean "nothingness", but can be transformed into what we know as "things" (color method).
So scientists engaged in quantum physics are now studying Buddhist scriptures.
I am from Beijing, and I believe in Buddhism 12 years. In Jushilin, I know several brothers, one is a postdoctoral fellow in medicine and the other is a graduate student in quantum mechanics. According to this senior brother, he became interested in Buddhism because of his contact with quantum mechanics.
The Buddha's education is perfect, revealing a lot of cosmic truth. Any other religion is afraid of the development of science, because the more developed science is, the more it proves their religious superstition, but the Buddhist community agrees that the more developed science is, the more it can prove the authenticity of Buddhism.
Buddhism is definitely not superstitious. Monks in temples worship Buddha, which is actually the same as that of ancient students in China who worship Confucius before class. Students worship Confucius for modesty and not arrogance. Buddhists worship Buddha. We all regard Buddha as the highest achievement teacher. We think our heart is like a glass of wine, so full that you can't listen to what others say. If your heart is proud, then slow down your knowledge of Buddhism, and you can't learn to worship Buddha just to let go of your arrogance. But later, many people don't understand that Buddhists who are really practicing generally bear the burden of humiliation and let others distort and slander without refuting it. After a long time, it caused misunderstanding among the public and eventually became a superstitious religion in the eyes of the public.
Many things are not as simple as they seem. Buddhism is really profound. I am stupid enough to learn Buddhism. 12 will now be considered as an auditor with half a foot in a Buddhist kindergarten.
If you are interested, you can study Buddhism with a learning and research attitude, and you will find that the world you know is different. ...
