Questionnaire

1. Is Einstein, absolutely true, accept the postulates?
   Ans.: The postulates accepted by Einstein are not absolutely true because according to Jain philosophy, there are so many objects having greater velocity than light.

2. What are the limitations of Einstein's special theory of relativity?
   Ans.: Equations of special theory of relativity can be applied to only those objects that have less velocity than light. While they are not applicable to the tachyon world in which each and every object may have greater velocity than light.

3. Do you want to know real concepts of Einstein's famous equation E=mc²?
   Ans.: The world famous Einstein's equation E=mc² does not suggest exact energy of an object or a particle. If that object or particle has some velocity, its energy will be more and in case of same object more the velocity more the energy.

4. Are the electromagnetic waves absolutely in the form of waves or particles?
   Ans.: According to Jain philosophy all the electromagnetic waves are in the form particles.

5. Does the light possess absolutely dual nature of waves and particles?
   Ans.: According to Jain philosophy light is absolutely in the form of particles, only when it propagates from one space point to another space point its path is serpentine.

6. What is the real nature of light?
   Ans.: Really, light is modification of matter. It possesses the qualities like color, taste, smell and touch. And hence it is in the form of particles.

7. On which factors do the intensity of light depend?
   Ans.: Intensity of light depends only upon the numbers of photon particles per unit area per unit time.

8. Do frequency, wavelength, amplitude really exists in case of light and other electromagnetic waves?
   Ans.: According to modern physics light is in the form of electromagnetic waves hence it has frequency, wavelength and amplitude but according to Jain philosophy light and all other electromagnetic waves are absolutely in the form of material particles hence they do not have frequency, wavelength and amplitude.

9. How the sub atomic particles like electrons behave like waves?
   Ans.: In the phenomenon interference sub atomic particles like electrons behave as waves on account of their zigzag or serpentine path.

10. How can we explain the phenomenon interference of light accepting only the particle nature?
    Ans.: In interference of light when crest of one wave falls on the crest of another wave or trough of one wave falls on the trough of another wave the paths of both waves exactly interact and hence the collision between both photon particles takes place and both change their directions. As a result we get bright fringes. In the same way all photon particles change their directions and hence due to absence of photon particles, we get dark fringes in that direction.

11. What are the black holes? How are they formed?
    Ans.: According to modern physics due to contraction of stars in their volume, gravitational force tremendously increases. As a result light waves cannot escape from its gravitational force. Hence those stars do not emit light and we are not able to see them. So they are called black holes.

28. How and in which conditions are the equations of physics useless? Why are they not applicable?
    Ans.: Equations of physics are useful only for particular conditions so except those conditions application of the same equations may lead to wrong results. Hence they are not applicable. i.e. Equations of special theory of relativity are not useful for the objects having greater velocity than that of light.

29. What are the limitations of mathematics in modern physics?
    Ans.: Mathematics is a symbolic method to represent the laws of physics and the laws of mathematics are not certain regarding reality of physics. Therefore beyond certain limit they are not able to represent total or absolute reality.
