Abstract

From centuries ago, Muslim scholars and philosophers, by inspiration from luminous verses of holy Quran and with strong rational reasons, have proved that science and awareness flow in all levels of existence, particularly in material things. The experimental scientists also have pointed to the possibility of presence of a kind of consciousness and awareness in matters and apparently non-living things. Science extension in the whole existing world, even in material particles, brings physics to the discussion too. In quantum theory, there are some phenomena (e.g. delayed choice experiment) which show that particles are aware of their surroundings and thus choose the suitable behavior correspond to their environment; also, in some alternative models of the standard quantum theory (Bohm-de Broglie model), there are some concepts such as ‘pilot wave’ or ‘information field’, which may be considered as the reasons of the particles’ sensitivity (consciousness).
