Loop quantum cosmology (LQC) & Status of the World

Loop quantum cosmology (LQC),

Loop quantum cosmology (LQC), had managed to illuminate the very birth of the universe - the idea that our universe could conceivably have emerged from the collapse of a previous universe. LQC is verified, the big bang will give way to a big bounce and we will finally know the quantum structure of space-time. Instead of a universe that emerged from a point of infinite density, we will have one that recycles, possibly through an eternal series of expansions and contractions, with no beginning and no end.

Status of the World

Adi Shankara claims that the material world is not absolutely false; it appears false only when compared to Brahman. Under the influence of Maya, the world appears as completely true. Karma, an aspect of the material world, is true, so the world cannot be false. The world is like a reflection of Brahman; therefore it cannot be totally false. The world is a logical thing which is perceived by our senses; the term “false” is applied to things which are unable to be perceived by our physical senses. So under the influence of Maya, it feels that world has start & end. But actually world no beginning and no end.



Thus Advaita is clearly matching to the LQC. Hence, LQC seems to be in line of Advaita.
