Until recently, the scientific phenomenon known as Quantum Physics has been discovered. And as this theory kickedin to the huge scientific world, it has been widely embraced by many scientific leaders worldwide. The more that is learned aboutQuantum Physics, the more we discover its Scriptural status and its proof of God’s perfect design. So, here’s the question which arises;did God really fabricated this design or it was something else, something very unreal which continues to remain a history? Before wecome up to a comprehensive theory, let’s begin by understanding the core theory of this article, the science of Quantum Physics.Keywords: Quantum mechanics; Einstein- Podolsky- Rosen; consciousness; spiritualism; subatomic science; space time; hyperdimensions; string theory.1. A Brief Introduction to Quantum PhysicsWhat is Quantum Physics?Quantum Physics, as we know it, is the most weirdestfundamental branch of Physics ever studied or researched,where we have some bizarre form of concepts like how cansomething disappear or reappear someplace else, how canwe be two places at the same time, but ironically, that‘s whatelectrons do all the time. It is the Physics of the subatomicworld. Although Quantum Physics is such an outlandishconcept but it is also responsible for the technologicaladvances that make modern life possible. QuantumMechanics gave rise to modern day electronics,cryptography, quantum computing. So basically withoutQuantum Physics there would be no transistor, and hence nopersonal computer; no laser absolutely nothing. In essence,Quantum Physics is the study of matter and energy at ananoscopic scale, beginning within sub atomic particles suchas nuclei to atoms and molecules.Quantum theory also provides accurate descriptions formany previously mysterious and inexplicable phenomena,such as black-body radiation and the stability ofthe orbital of electrons in atoms.It has also given realization and recognition into theworkings of many different biological systems, includingsmell receptors and protein structures. Recent studieson photosynthesis have provided evidence that quantumcorrelations play an essential role in this fundamentalprocess of plants and many other organisms around theplanet.If we tend to shower light on the very history of thebeginning of the quantum era, scientific inquiry into thewave nature of light began in the 17th and 18th centuries,when scientists such as Robert Hooke, Christiaan Huygensand Leonhard Euler proposed a wave theory of light basedon experimental observations.In 1803, Thomas Young, an English polymath andphysician, performed the famous double-slit experiment thathe later described in a paper titled on the nature of light andcolours. He demonstrated that light and matter can displaycharacteristics of both traditionally defined waves andparticle. Furthermore, it displayed the predominantlyprobabilistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena andplayed a major role in the general acceptance of the wavetheory of light.Considering every single theory of Quantum Physics, whatmakes these quanta particles so special is that they do notbehave in ways according to laws of Physics, making themmore of a series of probabilities, rather than something wecan scientifically define and observe?As the human breasts roils for passion for understanding andknowing the actualities hiding behind the quantum theory, aGerman-born theoretical physicist, very famous and capable,Dr. Albert Einstein came up with a new theory, the theory ofrelativity.Einstein is best known in for his famous mass–energyequivalence equation E mc2 (dubbed "the world's mostfamous equation") bringing him home, the 1921 Nobel Prizein Physics for his "services to theoretical Physics", inparticular his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect,a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory.In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity tothe structure of the universe as a complete conglomeration.He discovered that the general field equations predicted auniverse that was dynamic, which is either dilating ordiminishing. As observational evidence for a dynamicuniverse was not testified at the time, Einstein introduced anew term known as the cosmological constant, to the fieldequations, in order to authorise the theory to predict a staticuniverse. The modified field equations predicted a staticuniverse of closed curvature, in obedience to Einstein'sunderstanding of Mach's principle or Mach‘s conjecture.Mach‘s principle is nothing but a hypothesis which suggeststhat a body's inertial mass results from its interaction withthe rest of the matter in the universe. This model becameknown as the Einstein‘s World or Einstein's static universe.Einstein's 26 September publication, "Zur Elektrodynamikbewegter Körper" ("On the Electrodynamics of MovingBodies") harmonized Maxwell's equations for electricity andmagnetism with the laws of mechanics, by instigating majorchanges to the mechanics concentrated to the speed of light.This theory later became known as Einstein's special theoryof relativity.Volume 5 Issue 11, November 2016www.ijsr.netLicensed Under Creative Commons Attribution CC BYPaper ID: ART20162986DOI: 10.21275/ART201629861073

International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)ISSN (Online): 2319-7064Index Copernicus Value (2015): 78.96 Impact Factor (2015): 6.391Aftermath of which includes the time–space fabric of amoving body appearing to decelerate and shrivel in thedirection of motion, when measured in according to theframe of the observer. Considerably, it was explained thatthese atoms form molecules and molecules form objects andeverything that is seen, is made up of these quanta particle.This paper also proclaimed that the idea of a luminiferousaether, which is also one of the leading theoretical entities inPhysics at the time, was superfluous equations. Einstein's1905 work on relativity remained controversial for manyyears, but was accepted by leading physicists, startingwith Max Planck. Speaking of the space time framework ofa moving body, escorted a new theory known as ―The SpaceTime Continuum Theory‖. Before we shower light on thistheory, we must know how Space and Time are correlated toeach other.in the conscious experience. Time is often referred to asthe fourth dimension, along with the three spatialdimensions. Time has long been an important subject ofstudy in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it ina modus operandi pertinent to all fields withoutcircularity has consistently circumvented the scholars. Butwhat actually is Time? Does time even exists in rudimentaryreality?2. Understanding Space and TimeRobert Lawrence Kuhn who is a creator, writer, host andexecutive producer of the PBS television series "Closer toTruth" interviewed many physicists and philosophers whoargued and proclaimed that Time is an illusion, ipso factobelieving and accepting the theory of Einstein. Similarly,Huw Price, a professor of philosophy at CambridgeUniversity, argued that the three basic properties of time donot come from the physical world but from our mentalstates: A present moment that is special; some kind of flowor passage; and an absolute orientation.If the most basic definition is considered, a space is nothingbut a free space, an expanse which is freely available and notoccupied. The definition may appear simple but in terms ofscience, it is a complete a different new world. Imagine,every single thing in this universe is taken away, the people,the cars and buildings, the earth itself, the planets, the starsand galaxies, not just the big things, also tiny things up tothe very last atom, up to the last available evidence ofexistence of matter; what if they all are taken away? Whatwill remain? When this question is asked, most of us wouldsay ‗nothing‘. And we would be correct. But incongruously,we would also be wrong. What is actually left behind is anexpanse, an empty space. Surprisingly as it turns out, emptyspace is not actually ‗nothing‘, its ‗something‘, somethinglot going on inside, something with hidden characteristics,few known to us and few tend to remain a mystery. Space,as it is said, is very real, it is as real as the grain of sand inall the sea beaches, people, planet, stars and everything. Infact, it is so real, that it can bend, it can twist, it can warp, itis so real that it can shape everything in the world all aroundus and forms the very fabric of the cosmos.When most of us visualise space or talk about space, the firstthing that comes into our mind is the outer space. But, that isnot entirely true. The space is everywhere. It is probably themost abundant thing in the universe. Even if we bring thisexplanation down to the nanoscopic scale, we see atoms.Atoms being the most basic units of matter are entirely madeup of 99.9% empty space. So, ironically, the chair in you aresitting, the television you are watching, the coffee you aredrinking, is absolutely made up of nothing, but something.So, we are trying to make sense of something that looks likenothing. Antecedent to the discovery of quantum theory,most scientists believed that space and time only existed in alinear, continuous genre.And as far as time is considered, as explained by the scienceof physic, is the indefinite continued progress of existenceand events that occur in apparently irreversible succession,advancing from the past through the present to the future.Time is a component and a quantity of variousmeasurements used to sequence events, to compare theduration of events or the intervals between them, andto quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality orAn explanation was delivered by Dr. Einstein regarding thistopic of Time. He said time is flexible, relative andaccording to Einstein, "the dividing line between past,present, and future is an illusion". So reality is ultimatelyTIMELESS. This sounds pretty odd from the view ofclassical Physics, but from the view of consciousness theoryand spirituality, it fits in perfectly."What Physics gives us," Price said, "is the so-called 'blockuniverse,' where time is just part of a four-dimensionalspace-time and space-time itself is not radical but arise outof some deeper structure."We sense an "arrow" or direction of time, and even ofcausation, he said, because our minds add a "subjectiveingredient" to reality, "so that we are projecting onto theworld the temporal perspective that we have as agents in thisenvironment.But not all physicists describe time to be an illusion. Nobodyactually knows if forever is real because no person hasknowledge of a distant event, or the simultaneity of differentevents, until they are ambivalent in that observer's past. And,therefore, that argument focuses on the fact that the wayobservers organize their elucidation of the past and cannotmanifest the reality of the awaiting future. So opinion highlydiffers from person to person but many physicists andphilosophers now surmise that time is not comprehensive;rather, time arises out of something more fundamental —something non temporal, something different, maybesomething which is discreet, not continuous and quantized.In the theory of relativity, Einstein explained the face thatthere may be a difference of elapsed time between twoevents as measured by the observers either moving relativeto each other, or differently placed from a section of agravitational mass, and termed the phenomena as timedilation. A proof sustaining the fact that time is flexible. Thefaster we move through space the slower me move throughtime. He also associated the speed of light in defining theconversion of mater to energy and vice versa.Now, if I were to describe light in a simple scientific way, Iwould say, light is nothing but an electromagneticVolume 5 Issue 11, November 2016www.ijsr.netLicensed Under Creative Commons Attribution CC BYPaper ID: ART20162986DOI: 10.21275/ART201629861074

Thedistance is purely spatial, and is always tends to remainpositive. In spacetime, the displacement four-vector ΔR isgiven by the space displacement vector (denoted as Δr) andthe time difference (denoted as Δt) between the events.The invariant interval, between the two events (in a flatspace), s2, is elucidated as:where ‗c’ is the speed of light.And if presented in terms of time like interval,For two events, isolated from each other by a time-likeinterval, sufficient time drives between them, so, that wouldresult a cause–effect relationship between the two events.For a particle moving through space at less than the speed oflight, any two events which may occur or by the particlemust be separated by a time-like interval. Event pairs withtime-like separation designate a negative spacetime interval(𝑠 2 0) and may be said to occur in each other's future orpast. There exists a reference frame such that the two eventsare observed to prevail in the same spatial location, but thereis no reference frame in which the two events can take place,both at the same time. The measure of a time-like spacetimeinterval is described by the proper time interval ( 𝜏):The proper time interval would be measured by the observerhimself with a clock proceeding between the two events inan inertial reference frame, when the observer's pathdecussate each event as that event occurs. The proper timeinterval technically, defines a real number, since theintramural of the square root is positive.If explained in terms of light like interval,In a light-like interval, the spatial separation between twoevents is exactly balanced by the time linked between thetwo events. The events define a spacetime interval of zero(𝑠 2 0). Light-like intervals are also known as "null"intervals.Events which occur to or are commenced by a photontowards its path (i.e., while travelling at ’c’, the speed oflight) all have light-like separation. Given one event, allthose events which follow at light-like intervals which inturn define the propagation of a light cone, and all the eventswhich preceded from a light-like interval define a secondlight cone, graphically inverted, which is to say “pastward”In terms of space like interval,When a space-like interval distinguishes two events,sufficient time does not tend to pass between theiroccurrences for there to generate a causal relationshipcrossing the spatial distance between the two events at thespeed of light or slower. Predominantly, the events areconsidered not to take place in each other's future or past.There exists a reference frame in such a way that the twoevents are observed to prevail at the same time, but there isno reference frame in which both the events can occur in thesame spatial location.For these space-like event pairs with a positive spacetimeinterval (𝑠 2 0), the measurement of space- like separationis the proper distance, Δ𝜎, and the proper distance is givenby:Similarly like the proper time of time-like intervals, theproper distance of space-like spacetime intervals is a realnumber value and not fractional or something else.And, if we describe it in the form of interval as an area,Time-like or space-like segregations correlate tooppositely oriented rectangles, type of which considered tohave rectangles of negative area. The interval has beenaccorded as the area of an aligned rectangle created by twoevents and isotropic lines along them. The case of twoevents separated by light further equates to the rectanglelapsing to the segment between the events and zeroarea. The transformations generating interval-lengthinvariant are the area-preserving squeeze mappings.Historically speaking, the parameters which are to be usedfor the maximum number of times depend on the quadratureof the hyperbola, which is itself, a natural logarithm. Thistranscendental function is essential in mathematical analysisas its inverse unites circular functions and hyperbolicfunctions: The exponential function, (et, t) a real number,used in the hyperbola (et, e–t), generates hyperbolicsectors and the hyperbolic angle parameter. The functionscos (h) and sin (h) used with rapidity as provide the common𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒉 𝝓 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒉 𝝓representation of squeeze in the form𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒉 𝝓 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒉 𝝓or in the form of 𝒆𝒋𝝓 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐡 𝝓 𝒋 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒉 𝝓, as the complexunit function.And, if we study the most fundamental Mathematics of thespace time orientation, we find that, the continuum isnothing but a four-dimensional, smooth, connectedLorentzian manifold (M, g), for every physical reason. Thismeans the smooth Lorentz metric g has signature (3, 1). Themetric governs the geometry of spacetime, as well asestablishes the fact that the geodesics of particles and lightbeams. About each event on this manifold, coordinatecharts are used to portray the observers in their ownreference time frames. For simplicity's sake, units ofmeasurement are usually chosen such that the speed oflight c is equal to 1. But usually, Cartesian coordinates (x, y,z, t) are used.Volume 5 Issue 11, November 2016www.ijsr.netLicensed Under Creative Commons Attribution CC BYPaper ID: ART20162986DOI: 10.21275/ART201629861075

International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)ISSN (Online): 2319-7064Index Copernicus Value (2015): 78.96 Impact Factor (2015): 6.391Identification of the reference frame or observer can be donewith one of the coordinate charts; any such observer candescribe any event p. Similarly, another reference frame maybe identified by a second coordinate chart about p. As ingeneral, many overlapping coordinate charts are needed tocover a manifold. Provided two coordinate charts, onerepresenting an observer containing p and the otherrepresenting the observer as q. It is just that the convergenceof these charts represents the region of spacetime in whichboth observers can measure the physical quantities andhence emulate the obtained results. The relation between thetwo sets of measurements is given by a nonsingular coordinate transformation on this intersection. Theproposition of coordinate charts representing local observerswho can perform measurements in their proximity alsomakes a good physical sense of how one can actuallyaccumulate physical information, locally.Hence, geodesics are elected to be time-like, null, or spacelike if the tangent vector to one point of the geodesic is ofthis identity. Paths of particles and light beams in aspacetime frame are represented by time-like and null orlight-like geodesics, respectively.Furthermore, space time in general relativity, described bythe Minkowski metric R4. This spacetime is named asMinkowski space. The Minkowski metric is usually denotedby 𝜼 and can be written as a four-by-four matrix:where,the Landau–Lifshitztime-likeconvention isimplemented. Not only this one can also appraise events inNewtonian Physics as a single spacetime. This is Galilean–Newtonian relativity, and the coordinate systems are relatedby Galilean transformations.However, since these preserve spatial and temporal distancesso unconventionally, that particular spacetime can always bedisintegrated and fragmented into spatial coordinates plustemporal coordinates, which is scientifically not possible fora general spacetime framework.To, put this entire thing into a nutshell, I would sayspacetime is considered to be continuous, smooth and themathematical model just combines space and time intosingle entwined continuum.And all of these mentioned above brings me to a bafflinglybeautiful and at the same time to a very important question.Is God a Mathematician? So, Let us find out.3. Is God A Mathematician?Mathematics is the language in which god has written theuniverse. - Galileo Galilei.The question of whether god is a mathematician, introducesus to the ostensibly omnipotent powers of Mathematics tooutline the world we live in; its "unreasonableeffectiveness", a phrase coined by Physics Nobel LaureateEugene Wigner in 1960. Speaking in the language of amonotheist, as it postulates the belief in the existence ofgod or in the oneness of God, the god beingthe Supreme and principal object of faith. So, supposedly ifwe believe, and stand at the point for atleast once; as fromthe representations of the bible; the god being the creator ofthis universe, is he a mathematician? I would say, Yes! Heis. And now the most outlandish and bizarre questionappears— How? The theology is perfectly answered byMichio Kaku, an American theoretical physicist and futurist.He explains how Mathematics and Physics are correlated toeach other.He says, sometimes Mathematics leads, sometimes Physicsleads, sometimes they come together because the use of theMathematics and Physics altogether in a particular area. Forexample, in the era of 1600s Sir Isaac Newton, an Englishphysicist and mathematician asked a simple question ―If anapple falls, then does the moon also falls?‖Perhaps it‘s one of the greatest questions ever asked by amember of homo sapiens since the six million of evolution.If an apple falls, does the moon also falls? Isaac Newtonsays yes. Newton wondered why the Moon doesn't fall .Thefact is the Moon is falling ; if it doesn't fall , it would goaway from Earth following the line tangent to its orbit.While the Moon travels through the arc, it is falling towardsthe Earth. So due to the force of gravitation the Moon iscontinually falling towards the Earth , but it is alsocontinually missing the Earth because it has a tangentialvelocity and due to inverse square law, so does the apple. Hehad the unifying theory of the heavens, but he did not havethe Mathematics to solve the problem.So what he did is, he invented calculus. Calculus is isthe mathematical study of change, in the same waythat geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the studyof operations and their application to solving equations. Ithas two major branches, differential calculus, concerningrates of change and slopes of curves and integral calculusconcerning accumulation of quantities and the areas underand between curves.So calculus is the direct consequence of solving the fallingmoon problem. Even when we solve calculus for the firsttime, what we do is we calculate the motion of the fallingbody. This is exactly how Newton measured and calculatedthe motion of the falling moon, opening a new world of thecelestial mechanics.So here is a condition where Mathematics and Physics wereconjoins like twins, giving birth to a very practical questionof calculating the motion of any celestial body.And then Einstein comes with a different question, he asks,from where the gravity had its origin? Einstein says thatgravity is nothing but the aftermath of the curved space. So,why does the apple fall? Why does the moon fall? Why aresitting in the chair and not floating all around in space? Whyare we pulled downwards?Any common people would justify this question by givingthe reason of Gravity. But, that is not what Einstein said. Heprotests that there is no such thing as gravitational attraction.The earth actually warps the space above and around thebody, so what the curve does is, it pushes the body to thesurface of the planet. . So what Einstein theory meant isgravity does not pull, space pushes to the core of the earth.Volume 5 Issue 11, November 2016www.ijsr.netLicensed Under Creative Commons Attribution CC BYPaper ID: ART20162986DOI: 10.21275/ART201629861076

International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)ISSN (Online): 2319-7064Index Copernicus Value (2015): 78.96 Impact Factor (2015): 6.391So, pushing the very fabric of the reality of space and timerequires the differential calculus. So differential calculus isthe language of the calculations of the curved surface. Soagain here is another situation we find, where Mathematicsand Physics closely couples up.But this time Mathematics came first, the theory of curvedsurface came first. Einstein took that theory of curvedsurface and then imported it into Physics. So, now we havethe String Theory. The String Theory is a theoreticalframework in which the point-like particles of particlePhysics are replaced by one-dimensional objects calledstrings. It scientifically describes how these stringspropagate through space and interact with each other.It turns out that a hundred years ago, Mathematics andPhysics had to depart from each other. So, when Einsteinproposed special theory of relativity in 1905 that was also aaround the time, Time Topology came into existence, thetopology of the hyper- dimensional objects all around theuniverse. Spheres, multiverses, multi dimensions, hyperdimensional objects, all came into existence, so Physics andMathematics had to diverge into different parts. But thistime, Maths leaves Physics behind. Mathematics paved itsway to the hyperspace and finally mathematicians foundexpanse where mathematics has no physical applications andmathematics finds itself useless, useless of all is the theoryof differential topology in hyper dimensions.Similarly, with the help of Physics, we figured out the secretof the atomic bomb, we figured out some secrets of theuniverse and most apparently we discovered the famousString Theory. What is done with String Theory is, wefigured out and unlocked the secrets of the Big bang. StringTheory propagates us before the big bang, before genesisitself and what does it postulate? It postulates that there existmultiverses of universe itself. So the question is where didthe Big Bang come from? How did the Big Bang come intoexistence? What Einstein says is, we exists in a multiverseof universes, when the collision of two universe takes place,it can form another universe and when an universe splits inhalf it can form two different universes and that what wethink is the Big Bang. The Big Bang is caused either bycollision of universes or by fission of the universes.A String Theory exists in 10 or 11 dimensional hyperspaceand these dimensions happen to be super. Not only super,they are super symmetrical. And all of a sudden everyonewas shocked, the mathematicians were shocked, thephysicists were shocked, and the reason they were shockedis, all of a sudden, Physics gave birth to a new form ofmathematics, super numbers, time topology, superdifferential geometry which further gave birth to a newtheory that is the Super symmetric Theory. The Supersymmetric theory revolutionised Mathematics.So, this particular move of Physics, provided equations,which allowed us to unify all the forces of the nature andallowed us to read the mind of the Supreme Soul, it allowedus to read the mind of GOD.And what is the ultimatum of this equation? The SuperSymmetry. And when we try to read this kind of mind, weactually remain being the candidate of reading the mind ofGod.The mind holding the entire realm of super symmetry. Themind of god which vibrates like the cosmic music,resonating through an 11 dimensional hyperspace. That isthe mind of god. That is the mind of the creator of the fabricof cosmos. The super symmetry that came out of physics,governed by mathematics, which brings me to the finalconclusion that, yes! God is a mathematician.And now, speaking about spirituality, the first thing whichcomes into our mind is religion. A supernatural realm whereGod is addressed as the Supreme Being. As far as thescience of spirituality is concerned, there has to be somerelation between Quantum Physics and Spiritual. So hereanother question arises, what is the relation betweenQuantum Physics and spirituality and how they‘re related.4. m or Spirituality as it is described is a process ofbelief or religious practice based on supposedcommunication with the spirits of the dead, especiallythrough mediums or philosophically speaking, it is thedoctrine that the spirit actually co-exists as distinct frommatter, or that spirit is the only reality which prevails.So, what we can say is spiritualism is a metaphysical beliefthat the world is made up of at least two radical andrudimentary substances that is matter and spirit.So we understand from Quantum Physics is that, it definesthat each and everything coexisting is created due tosummation of subatomic sized bits, but the interrogation iswhat is the that underlying fundamental force holding thequanta particles, atoms and molecules, space and all theother things together? The answer is Electromagnetism.Electromagnetism in the form of photon, that is light. Nowwhat light does is, it keeps electrons fastened to the nuclei ofan atom, and which are further bond together with twofundamental force, viz. Strong Force and Electromagneticforce which forges further into forming of molecules, thusobjects. All forms of matter are actually made up of thisradiating spectrum of electromagnetism, which is Light. Thebehaviour and characteristics of the electromagneticradiation depends on its wavelength. Higher frequencieshave shorter wavelengths, and lower frequencies have longerwavelengths. When EMR interacts with single atoms andmolecules, its functionality depends on the amount of energyper quantum it carries.Therefore, ameliorating us find our second Biblical evidenceof God‘s representation in the creation of this world, "ThenGod said, "Let there be light," an

advances that make modern life possible. Quantum Mechanics gave rise to modern day electronics, cryptography, quantum computing. So basically without Quantum Physics there would be no transistor, and hence no personal computer; no laser absolutely nothing. In essence, Quantum Physics is the study of matter and energy at a nanoscopic scale .
