I did not try to investigate any special relation between Black Hole Information Paradox and Hindu doctrine. Just for laughs, I watched this video spoof from All India Bakchod on Alia Bhatt
The climax is when Karan questions Alia on Black Hole Information Paradox and Alia answers (at 7 minutes 30 seconds into the video):
"Hawking's Black Hole Information Paradox results from a combination of quantum mechanics and general relativity which suggests that all physical information could permanently disappear in the black hole making it a non unitary transformation of state. But if thats true it flies right in the face of what we know about Quantum physics. A recent elegant solution however involves a concept of stimulated emission to explain the supposed information loss."
I wikied, googled and saw some youtube videos out of curiosity and that was it. What I understood in layman's terms was that: If everything will go and end infinitely into Black Hole, then "e=mc^2" and and that "energy is transferable and convertible but cannot be destroyed" etc formulas and theories will be all proven to be not true. But as we know today, these are proven. But so is Black Hole and Big Bang. There lies the paradox!
Few days later I read some interesting text in this book:
and cross checked with the reference book which was:
This book from Francois Bernier, is easily available online and the text I found interesting is mentioned in page 347-348 of the book.
Presenting the portion of text Line 3, Page 347 on wards:
"Now these Sectaries or Indou Pendets,(Hindu Pandits) so to speak, push the incongruities in question further than all these philosophers, and pretend that God, or that supreme being whom they call Achar (immovable, unchangeable) has not only produced life from his own substance, but also generally everything material or corporeal in the universe, and that this production is not formed simply after the manner of efficient causes, but as a spider which produces a web from its own navel, and withdraws it at pleasure. The Creation then, say these visionary doctors, is nothing more than an extraction or extension of the individual substance of God, of those filaments which He draws from his own bowels ; and, in like manner, destruction is merely the recalling of that divine substance and filaments into Himself; so that the last day of the world, which they call maperle or pralea,(Mahapralay or Pralay) and in which they believe every being will be annihilated, will be the general recalling of those filaments which God had before drawn forth from Himself.
There is, therefore, say they, nothing real or substantial in that which we think we see, hear or smell, taste or touch ; the whole of this world is, as it were, an illusory dream, in as much as all that variety which appears to our outward senses is but one only and the same thing, which is God Himself; in the same manner as all those different numbers, of ten, twenty, a hundred, a thousand, etc., are but the frequent repetition of the same unit.
But ask them some reason for this idea ; beg them to explain how this extraction and reception of substance occurs, or to account for that apparent variety; or how it is that God not being corporeal but biapek, as they allow, and incorruptible, He can be thus divided into so many portions of body and soul, they will answer you only with some fine similes : That God is as an immense ocean in which many vessels of water are in continual motion ; let these vessels go where they will, they always remain in the same ocean, in the same water ; and if they should break, the water they contain would then be united to the whole, to that ocean of which they were but parts. Or they will tell you that it is with God as with the light, which is the same everywhere, but causes the objects on which it falls to assume a hundred different appearances, according to the various colours or forms of the glasses through which it passes.
They will never attempt to satisfy you, I say, but with such comparisons as these, which bear no proportion with God, and which serve only to blind an ignorant people. In vain will you look for any solid answer. If one should reply that these vessels might float in a water similar to their own, but not in the same ; and that the light all over the world is indeed similar, but not the same, and so on to other strong objections which may be made to their theory, they have recourse continually to the same similes, to fine words, or, in the case of the Soufys, to the beautiful poems of their Goul-tchen-raz. "
I could not be the only one who sees similarity between Stephen Hawking's work (Physics) and Hindu mythology?
I am no expert in Hindu doctrines and Indian mythology, but I understand a few things:
1. The text I highlighted in bold red, appears to me, describing the Big Bang theory
2. The text I highlighted in bold blue, in my opinion, is the father of the Black Hole concept
3. The illusion or Maya that pandits talked about might actually be true. We might BE the information paradox. Everything is true and illusion at the same.
3. Francois Bernier's frustration is similar to the Black Hole Information Paradox, except that he is looking at it not from the "information loss" perspective, but Christian concepts of creation of this world.
4. He clearly did not buy the explanation given by "Indou pendets", but the world is now open to the idea of Big Bang, Black Hole etc. which in some time, who knows, will mean that world is open to Hindu Doctrine of creation of the universe.
5. All this and only one 'Yuga' has been explained through Indian Mythology. If science wants to know explore more, we should read more that which has been already hypothesized through Hindu texts.
In the end, you might call me naïve, but I believe that Black Hole and Mahapralay, both exist. There is no remedy for belief now, is there?
