The stars, planets, and galaxies we see make up a surprisingly small fraction of the universe's total mass-energy content. The vast majority is composed of mysterious dark matter and dark energy.
Science operates on reductionism, seeking to understand reality by breaking it down into its smallest components. The goal is to find the fundamental "building blocks" and the universal laws that govern them.
The most fundamental level is not solid particles, but energetic, vibrating fields that permeate all of space-time.
Excitations in these fields give rise to particles like quarks and electrons, the components of all matter.
From these simple parts, all complexity arises—from atoms and molecules to stars, planets, and life itself.
Advaita Vedānta proposes a non-dualistic reality. It suggests the universe of separate parts is an illusion (Māyā), a projection onto a single, indivisible, conscious whole (Brahman).

(The Scientific View)
This perspective holds that consciousness is a product of the brain. It arises from the complex electrochemical processing of billions of neurons. It is something that matter *does*.
(The Philosophical View)
This perspective proposes that consciousness is the primary reality. The brain doesn't create consciousness; it acts as a receiver or filter for a universal consciousness that permeates everything.
On the fringes of theoretical physics, some concepts challenge our perception of reality in ways that strangely echo ancient philosophical ideas.
Suggests our 3D reality could be a projection of information stored on a distant 2D surface, much like a hologram.
Posits that our universe could be an advanced, high-fidelity computer simulation created by a more advanced civilization.
In quantum mechanics, the act of observing a particle can change its state, hinting at a deep link between consciousness and physical reality.
