  Bhagwan Mahaweer: The Matchless Particle Physicist About 2550 years ago, Mahaweer cognized and perceived paramanu as the smallest particle, which can't be dissected any further. Paramanu = param + anu. 'Param' means the ultimate and 'anu' means particle. Thus, paramanu means the primary subtle speck, the building block of the pudgal, i.e., matter. The definition still remains valid. Precisely, this was the way John Dalton also defined atom some 200 years ago. Atom = a + tom; 'a' means not and 'tom' means cut. Thus, atom means a minute particle which can't be cut into still smaller pieces. However, this definition is no more valid. Joseph Thomson discovered electron, a negatively charged particle of atom in 1897. This shattered the definition of atom, but the word has stuck in the text books, theories etc. Around 1930, Quantum Theory developed by Einstein with Heisenberg proposed that electrons, protons and neutrons are statistical...

  The Great Meta-Physicist of all time : Bhagwan Mahawir                  Lord Mahawir specified that the Universe is without beginning and without end. It simply exists, it is. It was neither created by God nor by Big Bang of an imaginary singularity. The statement made by him is mathematical and therefore is axiomatic, i.e. it does not need proof. The theories "God Created Universe" or "Universe was created by Big Bang" suffer from what is known as  "Regressus ad infinitum" . They fail to answer an unending series of questions. Lisa Zyga recently wrote an article "No Big Bang? Quantum Equation Predicts Universe Has No Beginning" in Phys.org on Feb 09, 2015. In that article she said, "The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The solution  predicts neither 'Big Bang' nor 'Big Crunch'. It avoids singularities. The quantum corre...

    The Peerless Scientist Mahawir                A scientist selects a topic for research, conducts status survey on the topic, develops new hypothesis on the topic, devises experiment to be conducted in a laboratory, gathers information and data on the topic, subjects that data to critical analysis and infers from the results the outcome of his efforts justifying his hypothesis. When his hypothesis is proved beyond doubt, he propagates his hypothesis for the benefit of society.          Bhagwan Mahawir focused on the topic of the Emancipation, not merely salvation, resurrection and deliverance. He deeply thought over the cause of pain and unhappiness in the lives of all beings, not just humans. His contemplations and deep thinking led Him to postulate that Atman, the soul as the energy field, is trapped in the cage of the karmic bondage of her own wrong acts and thus, therefore can break thi...
