[[Quantum mechanics|Quantum Physics]] pioneers began their journey more than a hundred years ago with [[Werner Heisenberg]], [[Erwin Schrödinger|Erwin Schrodinger]], [[J. Robert Oppenheimer|J Robert Oppenheimer]], [[David Bohm]] amongst others but these four turned to [[Advaita Vedanta]] in [[Hindu philosophy|Hindu Philosophy]] to try and understand what they had discovered about the sub atomic particle behaviour which did not tally with the [[Isaac Newton|Newtonian]] solid world framework that the World had been used to till their new findings. They struggled with trying to explain the new "reality". [[wave function|Schrodinger's wave function]] had shown that electrons behaved more like a wave than a particle and when observed it seemed to behave like a particle. The observer's impact on reality was entirely new. Schrodinger in his bid to explain what was happening turned to a 3000 year old philosophy that had envisaged a world where what one sees is Maya, an illusion. he found the advaita or "not Two" philosophy with [[Brahman]] the formless, eternal consciousness being the same as the individual [[consciousness]] termed atman. He wrote on his blackboard in Dublin- [[Ātman-Brahman|Atman=Brahman]]. [[Alain Aspect|Alain Aspect's]] [[Nobel Prize in Physics|Nobel prize winning work]] has to some extent vindicated Schrodinger's wave function further suggesting the non-dual nature of reality.
