The book deals with expounding the nature of Reality as it is understood in contemporary times in Quantum Physics. It also explains the classical Indian theory of nya in its diverse facets. Thereafter it undertakes comparison between the two which is an area of great topical interest. It is a cross-disciplinary study by erudite Indian and western scholars between traditional Indian knowledge system and contemporary researches in Physical sciences. It points out how the theory of nyat has many seminal ideas and theories in common with contemporary Quantum Physics. The learned authors have tried to dissolve the mysteries of Quantum Physics and resolved its weird paradoxes with the help of theory of nyat. The issue of non-separability or entanglement has been approached with the help of the Buddhist theory of Prattyasamutpda. The paradoxical situation of wave-particle duality has been explained with the help of Upaniadic theory of complementarity of the two opposites. The measurement problem represented by Schrodingers cat has been dealt with by resorting to two forms of the calculation of probabilities. Some writers have argued for nyat-like non-essentialist position to understand quantum reality. To make sense of quantum theory some papers provide a happy symbiosis of technical understanding and personal meditative experience by drawing multifarious parallels. This book will be of interest to philosophically inclined physicists and philosophers with interest in quantum mechanics.
