In an article published in the Prespace Time Journal, C Radhakrishnan and his son K R Gopal, propose the theory of 'Avyakta', inspired by Indian philosophical premises. Through the new concept of Avyakta, the authors say that the fabric of space provides substrate for all the fields including electromagnetic field, gravitational field and Higgs field.
The entire enigmas in physics can be explained by the concept of the fabric of space, instead of the round-about way resorted to till now, the authors claim. "Every finding will hold good, all mathematical derivations and observations in relativity would remain the same; only the background concept needs to change."
"My experiments and explorations to understand the enigma of the universe started 60 years back," Radhakrishnan said. "But the assumptions of the explorations took the present form with the help of my son K R Gopal." He said that the theory of concept of Avyakta is inspired from Vendanta and Indian philosophy.
