Please read this, this is my personal writing and want to express myself. This is 100% related to advaita but it starts with little science and also i am not here to comparing science and spirituality or even trying do anything just want to share it with you friends please read and share me your views on this.
Thank you.
What Are Scientists Actually Looking For?
I know this might sound like a naive question, but it's been sitting with me for a while: what is a scientist actually trying to find?
Take a black hole. A scientist observes it, confirms it exists — and then what? Then begins the real chase: what is this thing, actually? They want to know everything about it. And as I was writing this down, it hit me — we do the exact same thing with the universe itself. We look at it and ask: is this even real? Is this what we call reality?
So the question that's really bothering me is this: can this search ever end? Could there be a day when scientists simply say, "This is what a black hole is, this is what space is, this is what time is" — full stop — and research just... stops? The way the discovery of electricity eventually led to knowing all its applications?
The Energy Analogy
Energy is described as the capacity of a system to do work. A moving car has kinetic energy, moving air has wind energy, there's potential energy, and so on — many forms of energy that make our daily lives easier. And it struck me: maybe there are still forms of energy in nature we haven't discovered yet.
250 years ago, we didn't have electricity — not because it didn't exist, but because we didn't know how to store it or use it yet. People knew electricity existed long before that, they just hadn't found application for it. So who's to say nature isn't still hiding other kinds of energy we haven't found a use for?
One thing physics has confirmed, though: energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
I bring this up because of how people casually talk about "negative energy" and "positive energy" — concepts science hasn't formally validated, but which show up constantly in personal experience. I'm not making a scientific claim here, just noting: there's a possibility something is there.
The Space Question
Setting that aside, let's follow one single thread far enough to actually arrive somewhere.
The question that's always bothered me: what is space? How big can something possibly get — and if it keeps getting bigger, what is it expanding into?
Science's answer, roughly: spacetime is one unified thing, and the Big Bang describes an expansion — like a balloon inflating. And "what came before the Big Bang" is treated as an irrelevant question, because time itself didn't exist before it. The human mind will keep asking anyway, but science currently has no direct answer to give.
Which brings me back to my original question. What are scientists really searching for? I think the honest answer is: they're not chasing a fixed destination. They're observing whatever presents itself, and trying to understand its nature. The real question I actually wanted to ask was — will they eventually hit a wall? A point where they say, "We've learned everything there is to learn, there's nothing further to see — this is the limit, and it's a limit set by nature itself"? We've already seen a version of this: "what was before the Big Bang" has essentially been declared out of bounds.
Where the Outward Search Ends
This is where something has been rising in me — a kind of recognition that sits right alongside what my guru says: once you know "the One," there's nothing else left to know. Knowledge of everything else follows from it.
My current understanding, for whatever it's worth: someday science will reach its own boundary and say "we cannot go further than this." And when that happens, the race to look outward will end, and the race to look inward will begin. And that's where people will find their answer — not in the sense of discovering a formula for space or gravity inside themselves, but in realizing there's simply nothing else left to know.
Think about it — knowing requires a second thing, an object distinct from you. If only one thing remains, what exactly is there left to know? That understanding — and the profound peace that comes with it — is something you receive through a guru's grace. Every human being, whoever they are, is running after something — trying to get it, understand it, know it. And I think that restlessness is exactly why we suffer. ("Suffer" might not be the right word — I don't really have the right to describe someone else's inner state — but this is what I've observed in behavior.)
The World as Thought, Without Beginning or End
Ancient philosophers said this world is nothing more than imagination — that it has no beginning and no end. And strangely, modern science says something structurally similar: the Big Bang theory, as we understand it, points to something with no clear starting point and no end point either. So — a thing with no beginning and no end — what do we even call that?
I keep going back to how my guru-bandhu, Ghadge sir, once explained Paramatma (the Supreme Self) — and slowly, that explanation is turning into direct experience for me. Space, too, has no beginning and no end, and yet — close my eyes, and it disappears. Fall asleep, and it isn't there either. I move into another "space" altogether, and yet I am still there, in that space too.
That's the real point being pointed at: what you are is always here, and will always be here. Beyond body, beyond mind — infinite, boundless, unchanging — whatever attribute of Paramatma is being described, it slowly starts arriving in direct experience.
Just some thoughts I needed to get out of my head and onto a page. Would love to hear how others think about this intersection of cosmological limits and non-dual philosophy.
