Book Description
A book about a spiritual journey within a soul, that begins with its fall and ends with its ascension. The fall occurring into the abyss between what life is and what life should be; the journey undertaken to seek a way out of the dark abyss to the light. At some point in our life we all have to go on a great spiritual quest to give our life meaning; we may begin in the darkest night, or in a twilight period, or even on a bright dawn, the point we depart from may differ but we all desire to arrive at the same place, at a sense of deep meaning for life. This book is the light of hope to all those lost in the darkness. This book’s purpose is to serve for all who read it as the spiritual map showing the way to ascend to life’s highest meaning and joy.

Evolution
Author: Somnath Bhattacharyya
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000923819
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
This book reconceptualizes the ancient philosophy of 'dualism' and a 'trinity' applied to classical and quantum nonequilibrium phenomena. In addition to classical mechanics and electrodynamics, a remarkable connection of this philosophy with quantum mechanics is established, which can be useful for quantum computing and the development of quantum artificial intelligence. Packed with the recent theoretical models, quantum simulations of black holes, and experimental observations of quantum phase transitions, this book brings a holistic approach that can be useful to refine the concept of the 'Creation', i.e., the evolution of the Universe from the condensed state of matter, and explain the artificial vision. The approch is: Unique: Connects ancient philosophy, classical and quantum mechanics, materials, and the latest quantum technologies Novelty: High level of scientific interpretation of ancient philosophy, creation, interactions, and disorder Multidisciplinary: Guides students to learn quantum simulations and develop philosophical ideas The book contains over ten years of in-depth research by the author on the ancient eastern (Indian) philosophy and the latest scientific research in condensed matter and quantum technology. This book will simplify the picture of ancient eastern philosophy, which can be read by the general audience, particularly undergraduate/postgraduate students interested in quantum information science without any mathematical treatment. However, some parts of the book will be ideal for senior academicians and professional researchers in both worlds.
