PI, INFINITY AND GOD



 God,Infinity, Pi, 





Everything in mathematics, from zero to infinity, represents higher philosophy or truth. Mathematics is symbolical representation of mysticism. To Einstein God is a mathematician. When Heisenberg proposed the uncertainty principle, Einstein said: “ God does not plays dice with the universe.”But when Heisenberg principle of uncertainty was proved, Max Planck said, “ God indeed plays dice with the universe.” The uncertainty principle is now a major area of mathematics applied in physics or to the universe at large.



Pi, the heart of mathematics




Pi is a mathematical constant which is the ratio of circumference to the diameter of a circle (circumference/diameter).It is an irrational number, means it is a non-repeating and non-terminating number. If we start writing the value of pi it will be like this, 3.147.................. It will go on forever. It will be truth if  we say that the value of pi can occupy the whole universe. If you convert the whole universe, along with its matter, dark matter and dark energies etc into a book, it will still fail to fill the value of pi. The value of pi tells us that every circle is imperfect because the value is not a whole number.Archimedes was upset when he found the value of Pi to be an imperfect number. To draw a circle you need a pen or a pencil which is made of matter. Every matter is made of electrons and protons which has wave nature as well, according to De Broglie’s principle of duality. Hence, as long as we draw circles with things of matter we would never get a perfect circle. In order to draw a perfect circle you need a pen or a pencil which is not made of matter. So, only God can draw a perfect circle which will naturally be made of non-matter. This is what the value of pi is telling us since time immemorial. PI is an example of infinity. 




There are many infinities in mathematics. The value of ‘e’ is also an irrational number which comes in exponential equations. Infinite numbers are many but zero is only one.Zero is the symbolic representation of God in mathematics (shunia vedenta) and the irrational numbers represents  powerful beings,(having infinite power and life) made by God. God is beyond all infinities, the omega. In Upanishads (brahma Vedanta) the concept of Nirguna Brahman and Saguna Brahman convey the concept of Omega and other infinities.Nirguna Brahman is the ultimate principle who is beyond matter and energies and Saguna Brahman is the principle made by Nirguna Brahman. The Saguna Brahman, according to Upanishads, has infinite powers and made the whole universe by the command of the Nirguna Brahman (param eshwara).The Saguna Brahman is the ‘OM’ which according to the Upanishads is the first infinite principle made by the Nirguna Brahman, the Omega.The whole universe exist in the Saguna brahman which is “OM.According to me ‘OM’ and Pi are the same principles.


INFINITY IN ISLAM

Very few people know that there are many infinite principle in Islam as well.The Holy Quran frequently talks of infinite principle which is apart from God. The following verses of the Holy Quran goes as follows.

If all the tree of the earth become pen and oceans become ink, supported by more seven oceans, will fail to write the Word of Allah. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise.Quran:31:27

The word of Allah is not Allah.The word of Allah is a word made by Allah.Further,in Surah-Al-Ya Seen,the Holy Quran says,

“Everything we have encompassed in obvious leader (Imam-en- Mubeen).”

Holy Quran is telling that everything is moving in a personality called ‘Imam-en-Mubeen (leader of all things).If you read the verses with keen eyes you will notice that God is telling us that everything and not knowledge of everything is in Imam-en-Mubeen.Further,it  is said in Surah-Naba,

“Everything is encompassed in a book”



Imam e Mubeen and the book are the same thing.The Holy Prophet of Islam further said,



Prophet Muhammad (saw): "We are the words whose  merit cannot be realized nor can they be explored."

Al ahtijaj.454:2



Imam Ali, the cousin and vicegerent of the Holy Prophet of Islam regarding whom the Holy Prophet said, " I am the city of knowledge and Ali is it's gate," says,

"By Allah, if I wish I can tell every one of you from where he has come, where he has to go and all his affairs, but I fear that you will abandon the Prophet of Allah (saw) in my favour.I shall certainly convey these things to the selected ones who would remain safe from that fear."
 Nahjulbalagha:Sermon-173

In the above paragraph of his sermon Imam Ali (as) is claiming to be the 'Imam-e-Mu been'.According to Shia sources and some Sunni source there are many authentic traditions which prove that Ali (as) is the Imam-e-Mubeen knowing everything about everything.The tradition of the Holy Prophet, " I am the city of knowledge and Ali is it's gate" is more than enough to prove the claim that Ali (as) is the Imam-e-Mubeen along with the Holy Prophet of Islam.   
                                     
The maker of all infinities is the creator,God.God is beyond all infinities and hence He is called omega. Everything has infinity embedded in it as mark of signature of the ultimate infinite God. Infinity comes in the realm of numbers and God is the creator of numbers and hence beyond infinity. Every religion gives an idea of infinity.The Holy Bible also talks of 'Omega' the ultimate infinity.


In Bhagvatagita Lord Krishna says: " I am the syllable 'OM'."


Hence, God made many infinities,the pi, e, OM etc.But He is beyond all the infinities.The ultimate undefined.Rudy Rucker,in his famous and great book 'Infinity and the Mind' writes,

" According to the Reflection Principle, it is impossible ever to conceive of an end to the ordinals ( numbers and infinities).We do have a symbol   ,the big Omega, which we use to stand for the Absolute Infinity that lies beyond all the ordinals.But Omega is inconceivable.The Reflection Principle makes this precise by saying that any description of the Omega that we might come up with will apply to some ordinal (infinity) a short of Omega." Book: Infinity and the Mind,page-82  

What Rudy Rucker is saying is that if you try to reach Omega you will end up reaching pi, e or any other infinity.In the words of religion he mean to say that if you try to reach God you will end up reaching Muhammad or Ali and if you are a Hindu you will end up reaching Lord Krishna.You cannot reach God because he is the undefined.
