Ravi Gomatam Quotes

Ravi Veeraraghavan Gomatam is the Director of Bhaktivedanta Institute and the newly formed Institute of Semantic Information Sciences and Technology . He teaches graduate level courses at these institutes. He was an Adjunct Professor at Birla Institute of Technology & Science , Pilani, Rajasthan, India .

He has been made a visiting professor for the year 2016-2017 at the Indian Council of Philosophical Research , a Government of India body, under the Ministry of Human Resource Development.

In January 1990, he organized a conference titled First International Conference on the Study of Consciousness within Science in San Francisco. Subsequently, in 1997 Gomatam conceived and launched the world's first M.S./Ph.D. programs in "consciousness studies", in collaboration with the Birla Institute of Technology & Science , Pilani . "Consciousness Studies" is a developing, inter-disciplinary scientific field, which Gomatam has particularly re-conceived as a new way of studying matter.In 2015, the Institute of Semantic Information Sciences and Technology started offering M.A. and Ph.D. programs in collaboration with the Mumbai University, India.

Gomatam’s own field of research is foundations of quantum mechanics, wherein he is introducing a few new ideas, including those of "Objective, Semantic Information" and a notion of "Relational Properties" that is different from that of Rovelli and others. His new ideas have received notice for their potential. He has related research interests in semantic computation, systems sciences, artificial intelligence, philosophy of science and philosophy of language. Wikipedia

Famous Ravi Gomatam Quotes

“But the Schrödinger equation does not support this presumption. The state of superposition never collapses under Schrödinger evolution”

Invited talk, delivered at the joint Indo-US Workshop on System of Systems Engineering http://www.bvinst.edu/gomatam/pub-2009-02.pdf, IIT-Kanpur, October 26-28, 2009.
Context: The Schrödinger equation, which is at the heart of quantum theory, is applicable in principle to both microscopic and macroscopic regimes. Thus, it would seem that we already have in hand a non-classical theory of macroscopic dynamics, if only we can apply the Schrödinger equation to the macroscopic realm. However, this possibility has been largely ignored in the literature because the current statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics presumes the classicality of the observed macroscopic world to start with. But the Schrödinger equation does not support this presumption. The state of superposition never collapses under Schrödinger evolution.

“As science went further and further into the external world, they ended up inside the atom where to their surprise they saw consciousness staring them in the face!”

An interview with Ravi Gomatam by Thomas Beardy for Clarion Call magazine (Clarion University's newspaper) There Consciousness Within Science?" http://www.vedicsciences.net/articles/consciousness-in-science.html#Consciousness-Science"Is, 1990.
