      "Because phenomena (like space, time, length, duration, simultaneity, frame of reference) are dependent/relative and not-absolute/empty [U2T], therefore E = mc2 ."

    • 06 - General relativity and Middle Way Buddhism
      "Because phenomena (like coordinate systems, geometry and distinction between gravity and acceleration) are dependent/relative and not-absolute/empty [U2T], therefore Einstein Field Equations (EFE): Gμν + Λgμν = 8πG/c4 Tμν.”

    • 07 - Quantum Mechanics and Middle Way Buddhism
      "Because phenomena (like distinction between wave/particle, entity/characteristic/properties, observer/observed, determinism/chaos, difference/identity, separation/union, manyness/oneness, position/momentum, … and state, path, outcome of measurement) are dependent/relative [T1] and not-absolute/empty [T2] [U2T], therefore Schrödinger Equation: 𝑖ℏ 𝜕/𝜕𝑡 |𝜓(𝑡)⟩ = 𝐻̂ |𝜓(𝑡)⟩.”

    • 11 - Quantum Emptiness: Transcending Dualities in QM Through Madhyamaka's Middle Way
      What is interdependent/relative cannot be absolute/inherently-existent. Everything is interconnected, relative, empty and non-dual. Madhyamaka as a meta-framework for all physics.

    • 12 - Quantum Emptiness: Carlo Rovelli's Relational Physics Meets Nagarjuna's Madhyamaka Wisdom
      Rovelli's work bridges physics (QM) and philosophy (Madhyamaka), challenging us to abandon absolute descriptions for relational, perspectival ones. Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM), Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), Entities lack independent existence [T2] and depend on mutual relations [T1] [U2T], There is no objective reality... only perspectives. Thermal Time Hypothesis

      There seems to be an equivalence between the collapse of the wave function in QM and the actualization/ripening of karma.
