Nobel Prize 2022 – Universe is not real | Where quantum physics meets Vedanta

The Nobel prize for physics this year has been awarded to physicists who proved that the universe in not real. ‘The Universe is not real’ – a concept that Vedanta has been proclaiming for millenia. The latest proof to this comes from this year’s Nobel Prize winning physicists Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger. We have finally arrived at a day where we are discussing the paradoxical aspects of quantum physics that can be easily resolved by applying the principles of Advaita Vedanta. Physicists are now toying with the idea that the very purpose of the universe was to create conscious observers. Until observers appeared, the universe was in a state of quantum flux. It did not have any shape or form before observers came into being. All these sound less like physics and more in the territory of metaphysics. Is it possible to make sense of these bizarre findings? It indeed makes perfect sense when you look through the lens of Vedanta.
