Entropy, Entanglement, and the Divine: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Understanding the Universe
Main Article Content
Abstract
This multidisciplinary study investigates the relationship between quantum entanglement, entropy, and theological beliefs about the oneness of God and the purpose of the universe. Religious perspectives on the unity of creation and the existence of a divine presence are reflected in quantum entanglement, which reveals profound links between particles regardless of distance. Within a metaphysical framework, entropy typically linked to disorder and the arrow of time—is regarded as a reflection of the universe's evolution towards increasing complexity and, potentially, a divine purpose. Through an analysis of scientific ideas and religious conceptions, this study reveals how viewpoints tackle essential inquiries like existence, order, and interdependence. The study promotes a conversation that questions the conventional lines between science and religion by combining insights from quantum physics and thermodynamics with theological ideas from Christianity, Hinduism, and other traditions. This method not only improves comprehension of the cosmos but also provides a foundation for combining the worldviews of science and religion. The study creates conceptual frameworks and metaphors that connect different viewpoints, implying that spiritual ideas of cosmic order and divine purpose may be supported or even illuminated by the practical facts of quantum occurrences and entropy. In the end, this study adds to the continuing conversation about the relationship between science and religion; rather than being at odds, these disciplines might support one another's efforts to comprehend the ultimate essence of reality.
