Science usually concerns real nature of the physi-cal universe within space-time-causality. In its parallel quest for ultimate reality physical sciences are crossing the barriers of physics, entering the domain of metaphysics.

Now the object and the observer scientist, knower and the knowable, are mingling together in a probability-wave of pure consciousness; a mathematical abstraction. Scientific materialism dating from Newton, Descartes or Laplace with atoms as the building block had been a study of matter essentially separate from mind or subjective observations. From this standpoint Max Planck thought, “Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of natureā¦
