Quantum Physics in the Light of Adviata Vedanta The nature of cause and effect was scientifically explained by Sir Isaac Newton during late seventeenth century. It was a classical mechanistic view. These ideas went through some changes with the evolution of quantum mechanics during twentieth century. Isaac Newton (1642-1727), an English Physicist and Mathematician developed the foundations of ‘Principles of Mechanics’, popularly known as ‘Newtonian Mechanics’, which became the backbone of scientific thought in ‘Physical Sciences’ for the next two centuries. Newton discussed the nature of cause and effect in his deliberations of the principles known as ‘Newton’s Laws of Motion,’ talking about the nature of forces acting between two bodies. If there is a cause, there will be an effect exactly proportional to it. This was a statement based on linearity and determinism. This statement was perfectly fine on the macroscopic level and worked extremely well on the gro...
