On Page number 4 of The Present (universal truth) there is a brief discussion about the eternal mixer and how everything is a Balance in the physical world. This point is reiterated throughout the book and is actually a fundamental law of nature both spiritually and physically.
The Book says 'The balance is the result of everything moving around randomly.” This is how Physics defines the universe to. This measure of randomness is called 'Entropy' and it is of thermodynamic in origin. Every particle in the universe has a certain amount of energy and we discuss the energies of these particles in thermodynamics as various thermodynamic potentials. I don’t wish to add many technical terms here. The most important thing is that the central tenet of the thermodynamic picture of the world is that it has to be balanced every way so that the entropy (randomness) of the Universe follows a particular pattern.
When there is a vacuum and then the particles come in contact with it then the whole system always balances itself out. This balance (or thermodynamic equilibrium) is the central principle thermodynamics. If it was not so, then the stars would not have formed, the galaxies would not have formed. Even the stable atoms would not have formed, so to say the entire universe could not have formed without this balance.
It’s not that there is this balance in the universe but that there is this universe because there is this Balance!
We can see similar balance at quantum level too. To illustrate how this intuitive sense of balance has given physics few of its greatest discoveries I will give you example of Enrico Fermi (who was known as ‘Pope of Physics’ during his time), and how he intuitively came up with the idea of very important particles of quantum physics called ‘neutrinos.’
While studying a radioactive phenomenon called Beta decay, where a heavy nucleus like Uranium spontaneously gives up a beta particle to change into daughter nuclei, Fermi observed that the whole equation of this process in not balanced somehow, considering the quantum spin hypothesis and law of conservation of mass. And he knew that to maintain the balance there has to be something extra in that equation. So, he proposed the presence of new particles called ‘neutrinos’ and calculated what their spin and mass should be so as to maintain this balance. A few years later, these particles were actually discovered in lab to the correct degree, just as Fermi predicted!
So how did he know about the presence of particles that were so hard to detect at his time just by sitting at his desk correctly? Because he knew the big picture correctly; he knew the fundamental principle of balance has to be right and neutrinos thus MUST exist. To Fermi, there was no doubt that they existed, but others were amazed to see how he can predict it! It was all too obvious for Fermi.
Similar is the story of discovery of theory of relativity; probably the most famous discovery in history of Physics. When all academic scientists were busy trying to make some sense of a theory of light, here was a reckless clerk who came up with an extraordinary idea seeing the big picture. Many other scientists were as smart and as qualified as Einstein, but they lacked what Einstein had… the intuitive knowledge of the big picture!
