From the dawn of civilization man has always been interested in the mysteries of nature. But what is nature? What is it made of? With the advent of the scientific revolution from around the sixteenth century, man's thinking about nature took a sharp turn. The ancient view of nature had been dominated by the religious concept that nature is a product of God and one should respect nature and its variegated manifestations. This was, however, greatly altered with the development of modern science. The discovery of the gravitational law, the laws of physics and chemistry, the laws of mechanics - classical as well as quantum - and the laws of genetics, conceiving the big bang theory of the origin of the universe, life and so on, have significantly changed man's views about nature. But how far can we mathematize nature? Are there limits to this seemingly ever expanding horizon of unfolding hidden principles of nature? The present book is a serious attempt to closely reexamine our evolving views of nature and their limitations. Taking insights from Vedanta, it further endeavors to grasp the deeper meaning of man's relation with nature. The author, Dr. T. D. Singh, who personally witnessed the evolution of modern science for over half a century, presents in this volume some notable reflections easily accessible to the scholar and the layman alike. The readers, we hope, will find the volume as nourishing and as challenging as ever in our constant and most fascinating quest to comprehend nature.
