Hey sci (I'm from /lit/), so what's the deal with labcoat nerds loving Hinduism so much?

Kindly go back

To expand on my question:

I've heard people say Hinduism predicted quantum theory in much of it's cosmology. Particularly the metaphysics of consciousness too supposedly are replicated in more modern theories about the world as Hologram from figures like Leonard Suskin.

Any truth to all that?

It's just jewish indoctrination causing college bugs to avoid primarily european religion (i.e. Christianity) and try being pseudo-philosophical faggots instead. Most of them white "Hindus" never actually truly embrace it once they actually have to start paying their debt off.

Anon seething that someone from a smarter board is here.

>>12069523
OP, are you sure that they do? Is there really a larger number of people in the sciences getting into it or is it just the novelty of seeing a white person quote Hindu works that makes it more memorable?

No, scientists are smarter than authors but /lit/ doesn't have authors posting and /sci/ doesn't have scientists posting.
/lit/ has posters who are able to read books.
/sci/ has posters who are able to read facebook conspiracy posts and elon musk tweets. Listening to podcasts or youtube videos doesn't count as intellectual activity.

Schrodinger, Oppenheimer, and Heisenberg read and were inspired by Hinduism, particularly Vedanta. Carl Sagan was at the very least impressed by it.
>>12069523
From what I remember, Vedanta tackles things like pantheism, non-duality, and casuality.

Only hearing "God created the earth in 7 days" and then reading about those topics would be quite the mindbender, especially when the Newtonian view of the universe was still dominant. There wouldn't have been anything like it at the time aside from a few philosophers

maybe because hinduism is edgy?

This many whitecoats are into demons and Hinduism can be understood that way.

If you truly believe in whatever craps /lit/ tells you, then you shouldn't. Most of them barely know anything they spout about. They also tend to appeal to the authority of philosophers/scientist, like the 2nd post above mine, without arguing properly for why is it so rather than who did it.

white boys like Hinduism because it presents an alternative worldview to judeochristian principles, and because they don't live in a culture where it dominates, they don't see its flaws and corruptions
reincarnation is complete nonsense which is why you never hear them talking about its "connection to quantum mechanics". the reality is that you could pick and choose a thousand things in the Bible or any other religious work that appear to have some connection to theoretical physics. Hinduism was just fashionable.

hinduism is the closest religion that makes sense to science.
the concept of reincarnation, how the world is made then destroyed and made again, how we all are living in a loop and is nothing but part of a never ending program.
if we're living in a simulation, hinduism is literally the player's guide to the game.
