CHENNAI: University of Madras will be hosting a two-day international conference on the role of religion in exploring quantum unified planetary civilisation from Thursday. More than 500 delegates and experts are expected to participate in the conference.
Conference convenor and professor K James Ponniah said that science and religion serve as generative matrices for human well-being or destruction. Hence, it is the right time to discuss the implications of quantum physics beyond the scientific realm, to create a better, more connected, and sustainable world.
Our ever-increasing knowledge of reality from macro to micro to nano to the quantum world needs constructive use for global well-being. Endowed with sacred responsibility in the service of the world, each individual, as a responsible steward, has to make use of the maximum potential to evolve, to shape and to guide these generative matrices.
From this perspective, the conference proposes to explore the role of religion in promoting the quantum unified planetary civilisation. In pursuit of this theme, the conference welcomes scholarly papers on a variety of topics, including holistic models of reality, societal applications of quantum physics, quantum interconnectedness, quantum Humanities, quantum psychology and quantum Sociology.
In addition, the spiritual implications of quantum physics, the impact of quantum in theology, consciousness and quantum mechanics, the quantum impact in cultural philosophy and the interconnectedness of religion and science.
