Dedicated to my friend Thirumurthy who asked a question on Tripura Rahasya and hence I wrote this Quantum physics says that our vacuum is filled with vibrations (Rudra) of Energy (Shiva). These vibrations can exist at a high energy level for a moment and be at a very low level another moment violating law of conservation of energy. At specific energy levels, these vibrations can manifest particle pairs (quarks, antiquarks, leptons/anti-leptons) which the Universe is made of. Quantum physics says things can get created and destroyed without a cause. It says a specific ‘cause’ may not preceed an effect or every effect may not have a cause (it could be probabilistic, random). There need not be any harmony in the Universe. For eg. a Higgs vacuum decay can destroy Universe for no reason, far beyond us. In Tripura Rahasya, Dattatreya says “ Carvakas say that some effects are not traceable to their efficient causes. There are...
