In such passages, one can find remarkable similarities between Vivekananda’s thoughts and those of modern philosopher-cosmologists such as John Wheeler and Martin Rees, especially the concept of ‘the big crunch’ and the idea of a ‘multiverse’. According to Vivekananda, energy and matter reconcile themselves in Mahat, as we shall soon see. One cannot overemphasize that Vivekananda expressed these thoughts in 1895, ten years before the much-celebrated set of papers of Albert Einstein was published, heralding a new age in physics. Many attempts have been made to reinterpret Vedantic statements in light of Einsteinian concepts of relativity, space-time curvature, mass energy equivalence, quantum mechanics and so on.

A tangible link between such ideas and the real world of science, as we have already noted, was the engineer-inventor Nikola Tesla. Years before Vivekananda’s visit to the US, the Hungarian-born Tesla had already made several path-breaking discoveries, for instance, arc lighting (1886), alternating current power generation, motors, transmission systems (1888), and the Tesla coil transformer (1891).¹³ In January and February 1896, Tesla most likely attended Vivekananda’s lectures in Hardman Hall or Madison Square Garden, New York, as Vivekananda later mentioned in an address at Kumbakonam:
