Philosophy Cafe presents: ‘God Doesn’t Play Dice’

It is interesting to compare the findings of modern Physics with the ideas of Eastern Mysticism. Einstein spent much of his life looking for a Unified Field Theory to combine all the known physical forces. Quantum theory describes the ‘ground state energy’ from which all matter arises, implying there isn’t ‘nothing’, but a state of virtual existence. Eastern Mysticism, for example the philosophy of Advaita- meaning not two, has at it’s heart the underlying unity of all, and that everything originates from one Source- be it God, Consciousness, The Absolute etc. Are these ideas merely analogous, or is there really a ‘God Equation’ that not only explains the physical universe, but the metaphysical universe as well?

If this interests you then take time out from your usual Sunday afternoon and join the Philosophy Cafe for discussion around the topic; with tea and cake.

FREE. Recommended age 15+.
