SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA
APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM.




Sri. TCA Swamin, Accept my pranam. 

Thanks a lot for your clarifications. Adiyen have revealed my qualifications 
earlier. My mind accepts only sound logic. The faith in Emperuman is His Grace.

Adiyen request you to enlighten me on some more points.

1. ?This is not the argument of the quantum physicist. They
do not state that there was fact, but due to a lack of
observer it did not happen. Their stand is more fundamental
than that. It is that events themselves are dependent on 
the observer. This is the famous Heisenberg Uncertainity 
Principle. There is no such thing as an independent 
observer (quite true in socio-political situations). The 
observer has an effect on everything he observers 
(Conversely, nothing happens without an observer
observing)?.

The doubt is 
Events do happen either observed or unobserved. Does it require an observer? If 
observed it is reported it and becomes useful to the society. Unobserved 
happenings cannot be termed as events. Is it OK? 
Then, how the converse? Nothing happens without an observer observing? is true?
In other words observed happenings only are taken into account Other happenings 
(might have or might not have happened) went unnoticed.

2. ?The word telepathy conjures up a different notion. 
What some physicists are claiming is that information
exchange happens via the postulation of a particle
called Tachyon that can and only travel faster than
the speed of light. Telepathy seems to deal with some
kind of supernatural phenomenon (and I am sure some
folks would argue the same way against Tachyons) -
so, we need to be careful with the word?

Natural or super natural ?what is the position of ? Tachyons?
Could you throw some light on it?

3. ?This again is the same issue as before. The cat is not 
affected until observed. The cause is itself random.
Remember this is quantum mechanics where randomness
plays a huge role. Things may or may not happen in
Nature, which is why Einstein disgustedly said
"God does not play dice".

We know the fate of cat only on opening the box. Until such time it is any 
body?s guess. 
Can guess and mere wishes play a role in science?
Einstein ?s observation is correct and shows his faith in the Unknown super 
factor.
Things (either in physical or mental plane) happen according to some law.
Some we know. Many we do not know. 
?Things may not happen?:
Are we expecting it to happen? Under what conditions?
Things, which we may not think of also, can happen
But, for science, it requires solid proof. Will it be OK on random observations?

Smt. Nappinnai is doing a good job. Thanks.

Sir, sorry to trouble you, my doubts may be silly



Adiyen Ramanuja dasan, T.Parthasarathy..
