What would happen if a contemporary Physics PhD, trained at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore, bucks the establishment a bit and heads West to apply his technical chops to a more phenomenology-style approach to basic Physics research while never losing sight of the sociological, human impacts of what he pursues? Oddly enough, his results veer strongly into the arena of spiritual exercise and inner work. On top of that, they are invitingly accessible.
NOTE: Deep appreciation to Gopi Vijaya, whose fascinating talk (see the 4:36:00 mark in the video) given at the recent MysTech summer conference directly inspired this post. Essentially I try to outline his chain of thoughts while adding bits of my own commentary about possible implications (in parens).
