In this episode, Dr. Bharat Thakur explores Science and Tantra, the similarities and the differences.
He points out that Science and Tantra share a common God - ‘learning’. In order to learn, we need to be open. Open mindedness is often observed when when one's view is challenged. He suggests that when we are disturbed by another’s point of view, a view that is different from our view, we need not react.
He points out that exploration begins with assumptions. That without basic assumptions, one cannot develop a theory or create a formula. Modern science is based on assumptions. They are Determinism, Materialism, Empirical, Observable, Replicable.
In this blog, we dive into the connection between science and materialism.
