It is very surprising that mathematics is able to predict many counter intuitive phenomena in physics! So the question arises how mathematics is able to do so. We begin with the fact that natural numbers are symbolic representations of physical quantities. As the mathematics advanced, it extended the physical concepts to additional dimensions. Such extensions are useful as long as we do not mistake ‘mathematical-reality’ for ‘physical-reality’. It seems that currently some physicists are taking ‘mathematical-reality’ as ‘physical’. According to an ancient spiritual book ‘Yoga Vashishtha’, the physical world too is an imagination of ‘the cosmic mind’, so our imagination in the form of mathematics sometimes correspond with the patterns of ‘cosmic mind’, perceived by us as the physical world. In the year 1986, this writer too had presented some arguments suggesting possible connection between ‘mind’ and ‘matter’ [1]
