The Vortex Theory: A Bridge between Ancient Yoga and Modern Physics

by David A. Ash

Thousands of years ago in ancient India, Yogis probed the atom with supernormal powers called siddhis. What they saw was subatomic particles as vortices of energy. That insight gave rise to maya the illusion of forms. Anticipating Einstein, Yogis realised everything is energy. There is no material substance underlying our world. They knew the bedrock of reality is mind and consciousness. That is endorsed today at the cutting edge of quantum physics.

Applied to modern physics, the vortex shows how we are deluded by materialism. The particles and forces of nature are explained by the vortex of energy and physics becomes easy to understand for everybody. Predicting the most important scientific discovery of the late 20th century, The Vortex Theory could be the complete theory predicted by Stephen Hawking at the end of A Brief History of Time.

The Vortex Theory provides a bridge between science and spirituality. At last we have a sound scientific theory to back belief in non material worlds. A new understanding of Life and Spirit could take us to fresh frontiers of discovery because it may be space is full of Life.

[Andra Vltavín · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a pretty pathetically executed exposition on Ash's personal mythos with the trappings of physics, and while the mythos actually becomes interesting when it divorces itself almost entirely from physics in the end, it never successfully exists within science and/or spirituality and does injustices to them both with biased, whiny, and cisgender commentary.

Then there's also the terrible design and rampant typos that leaves out entire words and deletes full sentences that make the already farcical text feel cheap and slapdash.

I think, somewhere, somehow, David Ash is a genius, but he's done a really poor job of showing it in a way that invites scorn from all sides.

Challenging contemporary approaches to scientific research, 'The Vortex Theory' provides a compelling and inspiring explanation for the mystery of being. Backed strongly by clear, deeply-researched and thoughtful argument, the author demonstrates how firmly-held principles of physics both support and are apparently blind to the fundamental workings of creation. For a non-scientist such as myself, what is a complex topic is dealt with in a sympathetic way, making good use of analogy and illustrations to help understanding; for scientists who are wedded to the scientific method, Ash's argument might be a challenge to better consider the intriguing questions raised by philospohical physics and to approach with an open mind what unknowns may only be understood by transcending normal consciousness and acknowledging that a conscious Universe knows much that we currently don't know what we don't know. The author may not have quite stumbled upon a theory of everything, but may well have taken a large step in this direction. This wonderful book deserves to be read by a wide audience.
