When an individual observes an action, their mirror neurons activate as if they were performing the action themselves. This mirroring process enables individuals to understand and internalize the actions, emotions, and intentions of others, essentially allowing them to learn by observation. A study conducted by UCLA demo...

The Law of Karma When viewed through a scientific lens, the Law of Karma emerges as a universal principle governing cause and effect. From classical physics to the intricate dynamics of quantum mechanics, the scientific parallels of karma underscore its timeless relevance. Newton’s Third Law Newton’s third law, "Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reac...
