Extractions: Previous Page Contents of the Book Next Page Bhutas Some Reflections on Modern Scientific Concepts and Traditional Indian Thoughts Jayant V. Narlikar Against the background of some elementary knowledge about the many different streams of ancient thoughts, I have ventured to ask some questions visa-vis scientific ideas of modern times where I do know a little, perhaps just enough to gauge the extent of my ignorance. About our ancient traditions I do not even know the extent of my ignorance! So I had better begin with the modern scientific end. What does science say about the nature of matter on different physical scales? Scales of Structure A few years ago Professor Phillip Morrison had made a beautiful but short film entitled Powers of Ten. It started with a scene very common in the Western world, that of a couple picnicking in a city park. Then the camera zooms out showing the larger scale of the park, then zooms farther to show the city, then the state and so on. Each scene is followed by another with ten times larger scale. How far does this go on? Taking 1 metre as the scale we measure our local distances in ( the picnicking couple occupied an area of a few square metres), the tenfold increases in length go on till about 1026 metres that is, about a hundred million million million million metres! A few significant steps enroute to this gigantic scale are given in Table I below.
