GOLD, SILVER WORTH
`6CR, `22L CASH SEIZED
The FST during an
action in Kuchaman
in Didwana recov-
ered cash worth Rs 22 lakh
from a vehicle. Besides,
910 grams of gold was also
seized. In Ajmer’s Beawar,
police and the FST team
took joint action and seized
9 kilogram of gold and 126
gram of silver from a car
during the blockade. The
value of recovered gold and
silver is said to be around
Rs 6 crore. Police have ar-
rested three people for this.

henever a
riddle or di-
l e m m a
doesn’t seem
to be solva-
ble, either you have to keep
searching for the answer or
youpausetoconsiderifyou
are asking the wrong ques-
tion. If you investigate the
two biggest unsolved ques-
tions in science, two candi-
dates appear.
What is the universe
made of?
What is the biological
basis of life?
On the surface, these
seem like mysteries worth
pursuing. Looking at the
first question, it seemed
until recently that physics
had found the answer: The
universe is made of suba-
tomic particles like elec-
trons and quarks, that vi-
brate in the quantum field.
Then the biggest of all
monkey wrenches was
thrown in via the discovery
of dark matter and energy.
These, it turns out, may
countfor95%oftheknown
universe, which means that
trillions of galaxies visible
to the most powerful tele-
scopes are less than 5% of
creation, and if you include
interstellar dust, even 5%
might be too high.
The problem is that dark
matter and energy don’t
interact with the visible
universe, or if they do, the
interactions are nearly im-
possible to measure. A de-
cision must be made.
“What is the universe
made of?” either requires
investigations far beyond
the current powers of mod-
ern physics, or the question
was wrong to begin with.
To mainstream science,
thesecondpossibilityseems
absurd. Working physicists
and astronomers can spend
their entire careers studying
the visible universe and the
quantum field, awaiting the
day when dark matter and
energy reveal their true na-
ture. But I’d propose that
“What is the universe made
of?” is in fact a wrong ques-
tion.
What makes it wrong is
reductionism, the guiding
principle in every science
that solves problems by
breaking them down into
smaller, manageable parts.
This works brilliantly in
chemistry. Break table salt
down into sodium and
chloride, and you have a
reductionist answer. But as
it happens, sodium and
chloride are both poison-
ous, so why is salt essential
for life itself? Reduction-
ism can’t tell you. Taking
another example, what if
you wanted to know the
origin of language? If you
assembled a lot of people,
recorded them speaking,
and counted the number of
words they spoke, or even
the meaning of each word,
reductionism fails again.
The origin of language is
in the mind, while words
are the product of what the
mind wants to convey.You
don’t even need words to
have language. If you ask
a girlfriend or boyfriend,
“Do you love me?” and
they turn their backs, you
know the answer without a
word being spoken.
Now translate this into
the origin of the universe.
Reductionism has pro-
duced hundreds of suba-
tomic particles, complex
mathematical models
about superstrings, and a
vast invisible structure
known as Hilbert space,
and yet these, like words,
are the products of an un-
derlying source that you
can’t get at by counting
and measuring particles.
The existence of dark mat-
ter and energy proves this.
So what’s the alternative
if you grasp that “What is
the universe made of?” is
the wrong question? There
needs to be a shift of gears,
which amounts to a shift in
worldview. This is the shift
to wholeness, the opposite
of reductionism. In sci-
ence, this translates to the
behavior of complex sys-
tems. For example, the
bodymind is a complex
system, and if you want to
know, for example, why a
person is depressed after a
loved one dies, the concept
of grief, which applies to
the whole bodymind, is a
far better answer than hav-
ing a pathologist look at
the brain cells of a person
suffering from grief.
The keys to wholeness
are three: qualia, entangle-
ment, and consciousness.
You need all three to get
past the wrong questions.
Qualia focuses on the qual-
ity of an experience. If you
like chocolate, its taste is a
quality that has nothing to
do with breaking chocolate
down into organic chemi-
cals. Entanglement tells us
that isolated events are to-
tally interconnected.Asim-
ple example is being
shocked by a loud bang.
You jump, then you investi-
gate where the sound came
from, whether it is harmless
ornot,andthendecidewhat
to do.All these steps are en-
tangled with each other. Fi-
nally, consciousness reduc-
es the universe to experi-
ence. Dark matter and en-
ergy are beyond human
experience, while the visi-
bleuniverseisgearedtoour
experience of it (along with
instruments that extend and
amplify our experience).
These three keys—qual-
ia, entanglement, and con-
sciousness—sound ab-
stract, but they are the bed-
rock of the human experi-
ence. Humans experience
the world through the spe-
cific setup of our nervous
system; we form complex
relationships that connect
the dots between isolated
events, and we navigate
our lives consciously. The
world’s spiritual traditions,
along with art, music, and
civilization in general are
based on these complex
relationships.
A briefer explanation
suffices for the second
question, “What is the bio-
logical basis of life?” If
you approach this through
reductionism, you wind up
with counting and measur-
ing building blocks like
proteins, yet there are up to
2 million proteins in a cell,
each performing a specific
function through processes
that last a few thousandths
of a second. The task of
explaining life in this way
is futile. The whole mys-
tery of a cell is that DNA
knows what it is doing.
Counting billions of ge-
netic base pairs in human
DNA gives you a map of
the human genome, but it
gets nowhere in explaining
how DNA, and the living
creatures that sprang from
it, know how to live. A ti-
ger is fierce, a lamb is gen-
tle. We know this through
our three keys—qualia,
entanglement, and con-
sciousness—not through
biochemical analysis of
their DNA.

HOLISTIC VIEW
OF CREATION
There are other ques-
tions that receive wrong
answers from reduction-
ism, such as “What is
evolution, and where did it
originate?” because that’s
a question that goes even
beyond complex systems,
requiring a holistic view
of creation itself. I believe
that the answers only
appear by taking
consciousness as the true
origin of creation.
But it’s an important step
to stop asking the wrong
questions. It isn’t neces-
sary to reject reductionism
— the incredible advances
in science and technology
are undeniable. But when
it comes to the nature
of reality, another
path is needed.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT DARK MATTER AND ENERGY

ALLURING ON DIWALI
NITISH KUMAR’S
CRUDE LESSON
LETS HIM DOWN
ir pollution in Delhi and the National Capital
Region (NCR) has crossed the threshold of
tolerance.The seriousness of the situation has
led the Supreme Court to order a ban on firecrackers
using barium and other banned chemicals in not just
Delhi but also in NCR. On Tuesday the court told
Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh to ini-
tiate immediate steps to stop stubble fires which are
a “significant” contributor to air pollution.
The ban on firecrackers runs against religious feel-
ings of people who prefer to flout the order than wor-
rying about the air quality. The same attitude of defi-
ance was witnessed last year too. The catch is in
monitoring the use of banned chemicals in the fire-
crackers when the people themselves are uncon-
cerned about their health. There’s nothing new in the
order on parali (stubble) burning also. States like
Punjab have the difficult option of cutting down on
paddy cultivation until new commercial and cheap
methods are found to dispose of stubble.
A
ihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s way of
describing educated women’s role in popula-
tion control was both crude and disgusting.
The statement made on the floor of the House went
without even a murmur of protest from the Opposi-
tion listening to him. It was only after the video clip
went viral that Nitish chose to give a qualified apol-
ogy and later condemn himself for what he said. Most
politicians treat women with scant respect so it was
not surprising for Nitish to say what he did even
while making an important point. The importance of
the topic was lost in the crudeness of his statement.
Nitish could have
made the point about
empowering women
without having to go
into details of a sex-
ual act in the most
vulgar way. What
was shocking was
Bihar Deputy Chief
MinisterTejashviYa-
dav’s attempt to de-
fend Nitish. Tejashvi
found nothing wrong
with the objectiona-
ble statement.
“Whatever the chief
minister was saying
was about sex educa-
tion” which has been
“misinterpreted”.
Tejashvi’s mother
and former Bihar
Chief Minister Rabri
Devi said it must
have been a slip of
tongue. Nitish’s viv-
id description was definitely not a “slip of tongue”,
he was giving legislators a lesson in sex education.
The misogynistic remarks made in the presence
of women legislators have now stirred a row and
the BJP has come out with all guns blazing. Prime
Minister Narendra Modi castigated Nitish and also
the I.N.D.I.A. group. Rekha Sharma, Chairman of
the National Commission for Women demanded an
unequivocal apology as his “crass comments were
an affront” to the dignity of women.

seats and a quadrangular
contest on six. On these
seats, there are strong
candidates from parties
like RLP, BSP, AAP,
BAP as well as those
who are contesting as
independents after

INDIA TO BE ADDED TO THE UNITED KINGDOM SAFE STATES LIST
London: The UK government has tabled plans to add India to an expanded
list of safe states, which would speed up the process of returning Indians

includes India and Georgia as the countries to be added to the list. The UK Home
Office said the move is aimed at strengthening the country's immigration system
and help prevent abuse by people making unfounded protection claims.
