Forms of energy in #Jainism! Such an intelligent Article #SharePls ✌️🙂
Jain philosophers have stated that images, shadows and sound as well are forms of matter. Some thinkers consider a shadow (darkness) as absence of light but the Jain philosophers have indicated that shadows are caused by obstruction of light in conformable processes in which light is blocked. In general, darkness is considered as an antithesis of light and the cause of objects to become invisible. As stated earlier, science does not consider darkness as an opposite of light because the infrared radiation is present in darkness as well. These infrared rays enable the owls and cats to see in darkness. Further, special kinds of photographic plates are sensitive to them. Thus darkness is not absence of radiation. It is merely absence of visible light.
Images: The Jain scriptures have stated that images and shadows are also forms of matter. In scientific work, there are two kinds of images formed by mirrors and lenses - real images and virtual images. Both are formed by light rays reflected and/or refracted by mirrors and/or lenses. These processes indicate that real and virtual images are forms of energy. It is energy that manifests in the form of images as well as shadows. When a detector is placed suitably near dark bands of an interference pattern, it is observed that electrons are emitted, indicating that a dark band is not devoid of energy. Thus certain shadows as well constitute forms of energy.
In Jain scriptures, the process of formation of shadows and images has been adequately described. Shadows are formed when an opaque object obstructs the rays of light. Thus it is darkness. As explained above, it is not absence of radiation but a form of energy. A different kind of obstruction entails the interposing of mirrors and lenses in the path of light rays to form real or virtual images. Real images are formed by the actual intersection of rays, and are mostly inverted and enlarged/diminished.
In Jain scriptures, these images have been described as being formed by virtue of aberration of attributes such as colors and size (VARNAADI VIKAAR PARINATA). Virtual images are not formed by the actual intersection of rays and so Jain scriptures describe them as apparitions (MAATRAATMIKA CHHAAYA). These highly sophisticated concepts presented in the Jain literature about images and shadows are remarkable.
The Jain philosophers have classified radiation into two categories: heat (AATAPA) - the radiation emitted by hot objects such as fire and sun, and light (UDYOTA) - the cool radiation emitted by fireflies and the moon. In the former, much of the energy is emitted in the form of heat rays, and, in the latter, most of the energy is emitted in the form of light. This classification shows the incisive discernment of ancient thinkers.
