Although a lot has been said and written on the internet about Nirvana, the physics behind it seems to be an obscure and elusive area.
Human experience seems to be summed up in **five-skandhas** , **dependent origination** and **six-sense bases** .Existence of all of them seems to be physically provable. I want an answer based on such arguments for an e.g. interaction of skandhas etc.
Nibbana is also said to be '**unconditioned**' phenomena, all that is made of Matter or contains Matter is '**conditioned**'. If it is **nothingness** or **emptiness**, what is the underlying Physics?
Physics has not yet arrived at the definition and exact phenomena of Consciousness. It is called the hard problem of Consciousness. As of now, it has not been explained in terms of physical interaction or as an emergent phenomenon. Consciousness is the only thing that seems to transmute in Nirvana. I have long held the belief that 'Consciousness conscious of itself is Nirvana.
A blind, deaf, mute, senseless, touchless, everyone can get Nirvana but someone without consciousness cannot get Nirvana, that person is essentially dead. After Nirvana the person remains conscious, so what is it that essentially transmutes?
I am asking, what's the physics?
I am aware this is kind of a question that the Buddha discouraged to ask for e.g. in the Parable of Poisoned Arrow , but still, I have to ask.
