Ever wonder why there’s a statue of Shiva — the Hindu deity of cosmic dance — at CERN, the world’s largest particle physics lab?
It’s not just art. It’s a profound metaphor.
Shiva as Nataraja dances the eternal cycle of creation ⇄ preservation ⇄ destruction — a rhythm mirrored in particle physics. At CERN, scientists collide particles to “destroy” them, only to reveal new forms of matter and energy, exploring the universe’s deepest secrets.
India gifted this statue in 2004, celebrating science and spirit intertwined. It reminds us: to understand existence, we must embrace both creation and transformation.
🌟 Where ancient wisdom illuminates modern discovery.
the statue is a cultural gift celebrating collaboration and a symbolic metaphor for processes of change and interconnection in nature — not a literal fusion of religion with science.
