An equation represents a thought of God
Very Krishna An equation For me has no meaning Unless It represents A thought of God So said the famous mathematician Srinivas Ramanujan An equation Say E is equal to MC square The equation that Gives to us The manner In which matter and energy Are interchangeable Now where did this What Brought about this equality Einstein postulated this equality means That This equality existed In nature and Einstein gave a Mathematical equation that Captured that equality And conveyed it to us in a Handy form Now what made this Equality That is a question That has Baffled Scientists and thinkers Since the Utility The remarkable utility of mathematics Has been discovered by Physicists Eugene Wigner is a famous Scientist And he has written a paper on The unreasonable effectiveness Of mathematics in the natural sciences The unreasonable Effectiveness So unreasonable So he starts with Why is the effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences Unreasonable He Starts with an anecdote before he Explains it. He says once there were two Friends and one of them Had become a mathematician And he, this mathematician Friends started telling They were both discussing their jobs They had met after many years. One of them was a farmer The other was a mathematician and this mathematician Started saying that I am working on Demographic trends on How population is And now how population has been in the past And then he started showing various graphs And then there was In the statistics there was a symbol pi He says what is this pi He says that So when he was telling about the various population trends His friend was a little sceptical How do you know all this And then he asked him what is this pi He said pi is actually The ratio of the Circumference of a Circle To its radii.
So basically Mathematical expression of pi. He said now surely You are joking. You know What has the relationship of The attributes of A circle Got to do with Population.
Now Wigner says that We may Laugh at the naivete At how naive the farmer is To not know about how Mathematics works. But then He says we can turn the question Around and take his Turn the issue around and take his question seriously Now how is it That mathematical Concepts Which were Developed in the era of Abstract mathematics How is it that they turn out To correlate With natural With things that we find in nature What causes This correlation What is it So if we just think from a purely atheistic Perspective Then The whole universe is a product of Big bang. So there was original Singularity that exploded And from that explosion So something Existed because of nothing Something exploded because of nothing And when something Which came from nothing Exploded because of nothing It resulted in everything Including the nature around us And in the brain inside us And now The nature outside Us is just the result of Of an explosion And the brain inside Us is the result of explosion Then Why does the Nature outside us Follow Systematic laws Why does it behave in a law Governed way and not just any Ordinary laws.
Laws of mathematical Precision. And now Going further we could ask That If our brains are just Products of explosion Then Everything that the brain produces Is Also Chaotic. So the Maths, what we call as Maths is just a concept which is Produced by the brain Which is a byproduct Of explosion So some Idea that has been concocted By us with our brain Why should that Correlate with the way Nature behaves externally So this is a Question for which we have no answer And Wigner analyzes how Physics applies, how maths Applies in so many of the natural sciences And then he analyzes how In his paper that how Actually the concept of maths itself is Difficult to define.
The concept of natural sciences Is also difficult to define and he says That the correlation between the two Is a matter of fortune for science Science would not have advanced If Maths was not applicable In the domain of natural sciences So he says we have no Explanation for why this happens But that it happens Is a fortune For which we should be grateful And we should use this fortune To advance in science So now the point Is that what Wigner Answered, Ramanujan Answers over here, he says an equation for me Has no meaning unless it Represents the thought of God So it is God who has Ordered the human brain And it is God who has ordered the world Around us, natural world around us So the human brain is capable of thinking Certain thoughts Which reflect the Thoughts of God, as Newton when he would make his Famous discoveries, you know he would Say that oh God I think thy thoughts After thee And so that same God who has designed the world Around us, that same God Has given us the intelligence which Our intelligence, our brain Which reflect the spark of His infinite intelligence And thus Mathematics is one product Of this human intelligence which is a reflection Of divine intelligence and that’s how Our The concepts that we think of With our brain reflect The patterns of nature So what has made it equal to mc Square, that is a thought Of God, God thought the equality And he manifested that equality In nature and he gave us human Beings that thought by which We could appreciate that equality And thus eventually appreciate The wisdom Of the God who has manifested that equality Thank you Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna
