In the book I investigate distinctions between independent individuality and interactive relationality in physical phenomena. This common topic for modern physics and philosophy of science is explored using current research in those disciplines. Buddhism also focuses on relationships, proposing that independent things do not exist. In the context of physical reality, I take this Buddhist view as a hypothesis and examine it critically. We evaluate it's arguments and find them generally to be problematic when evaluated against modern standards for logic and physics. However, its fundamental principle-emptiness, or shunyata-is still test-worthy. Contrary to many books on Buddhism and science, this one takes a positive view of science. The book begins by defining 'science'. While we discuss, explain and justify many views of science, and present the standard elements of science, physics and physics theories, I argue extensively for one perspective: pluralism in a synthesis of my own design: physics pluralism. I show Buddhist 'emptiness' (shunyata) to be quite consistent physical pluralism. When we test shunyata with physics within that knowledge framework uncovers the relevance, importance, and some truth in the Buddhist relationality ideas. This Volume 2: Scholarly Edition provides a brief introductory treatment of the topic designed for the general audience. You may read this Volume 2 independently from Volume 1: Non-Technical Summary. Both volumes provide background and develop concepts from a non-technical and non-specialized starting point. However, this Volume 1 stops there, while in this Volume 2 we examine extensive treatments of controversies, complexities and technical details, plus elaborate explanations and examples. Volume 2 contains hundreds of citations and footnotes, while Volume 1 has no footnotes and few citations, although both have complete bibliographies. The series Buddhism and Modern Science will include books that examine links between Buddhism and the life and social sciences, e.g. neuroscience, economics, and geopolitics.

Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics: Toward a Union of Love and Knowledge addresses the complex issues of dialogue and collaboration between Buddhism and science, revealing connections and differences between the two. While assuming no technical background in Buddhism or physics, this book strongly responds to the Dalai Lama’s “heartfelt plea” for genuine collaboration between science and Buddhism. The Dalai Lama has written a foreword to the book and the Office of His Holiness will translate it into both Chinese and Tibetan. In a clear and engaging way, this book shows how the principle of emptiness, the philosophic heart of Tibetan Buddhism, connects intimately to quantum nonlocality and other foundational features of quantum mechanics. Detailed connections between emptiness, modern relativity, and the nature of time are also explored. For Tibetan Buddhists, the profound interconnectedness implied by emptiness demands the practice of universal compassion. Because of the powerful connections between emptiness and modern physics, the book argues that the interconnected worldview of modern physics also encourages universal compassion. Along with these harmonies, the book explores a significant conflict between quantum mechanics and Tibetan Buddhism concerning the role of causality. The book concludes with a response to the question: "How does this expedition through the heart of modern physics and Tibetan Buddhism—from quantum mechanics, relativity, and cosmology, to emptiness, compassion, and disintegratedness—apply to today's painfully polarized world?" Despite differences and questions raised, the book's central message is that there is a solid basis for uniting these worldviews. From this basis, the message of universal compassion can accompany the spread of the scientific worldview, stimulating compassionate action in the light of deep understanding—a true union of love and knowledge. Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics will appeal to a broad audience that includes general readers and undergraduate and graduate students in science and religion courses.

Reach beyond space and time. Mingle the magic and wisdom of ancient societies with the hard science of modern quantum physics. Grasp the full depth of a many-dimensional instant universe described with geometry based on a world vision seen through the eyes of traditional cultures. The momentum of reality is in essence a "point of view" that includes all phenomenal objects and all forms of energy-as well as cognition, emotions, the laws of physics, the flow of time, the individuated self and causality. All of this exists, but in a much different fashion than how we typically understand it to be. However, it can be understood using a "different physics" based on ancient world views. "Beyond the Box of Space and Time" deconstructs physics as we know it, and then reassembles it as a new paradigm. The book, in three parts: PART I: THE ANCIENT COSMOS Recalling a lost tapestry of reality: The ancients called it a survival strategy, deep wisdom and a connection with the Earth. PART II: THE MIND AND PHYSICS Traversing the Shapes of Experience: Perception unfolding as a grand illusion; and thought forms framed as geometry. PART III: INSTANT PHYSICS Surveying a timeless universe: A radical new paradigm of physics based on conjoining geometry and ancient wisdom.

Hundreds of books since the Tao of Physics have discussed a connection between meditation and modern physics; this one clarifies what it is in both spiritual and scientific terms. Avery's brilliant model of consciousness makes difficult and subtle ideas understandable, surprising you with the implications. He shows that light is visual consciousness: the experience of cells in the retina. Light is not in space; space is in light. Knowing this, relativity and the quanta suddenly make sense.
