Tagline: 
"Even though there are many schools of thought in ancient Indian tradition, certain standard features are common to all of them."
Synopsis: 

"In the latest theories of physics, all the matter and energy of the universe are thought to be generated by a single, unified entity called quantum field. In Vedic science, both material phenomena and our consciousness of these phenomena are said to flow from a unified source of absolute, unbounded consciousness. By equating the unified quantum field with this unbounded consciousness, [physicist Dr. John] Hagelin reconciles modern science and ancient Vedic wisdom. Thus he provides an ultimate, unified explanation for both subjective and objective aspects of reality. It sounds good – but unfortunately it's bogus. ... Hegelin's theory requires the wholesale elimination of many ... important features" standard to ancient Indian tradition.
