A New Paradigm in the Intersection of Science and Consciousness through the Microvita Theory
Abstract: Microvita theory, first proposed by philosopher Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, posits the existence of subtle energy-based entities called "Microvita" that act as the missing link between consciousness and matter. This paper explores Microvita as a novel conceptual framework that bridges the gap between particle physics, consciousness studies, and environmental sustainability. Unlike traditional scientific paradigms, which often exclude the non-material dimensions of reality, Microvita theory asserts that subtle energies and conscious forces …
