ludwig; //How would you say Buddhism does in relation to the OP? //
What I write is entirely my own view, after nearly 30 years since first taking refuge in Buddhism.
There are three main schools of Buddhism; Mahayana,(sometimes called Northern) Theravada (likewise, Southern) and Zen (Japan), all having much in common but differing in emphasis and iconography, and unlike some groups in other religions, showing no competition or conflict. Tibetan Buddhism is part of the Mahayana, from the earlier Tantric, and its spiritual leader is H.H. The Dalai Lama who is revered by all traditions. Mahayana is also divided into different schools; Gelugpa, Kagyu, etc. and the present 14th Dalai Lama; Tensin Gyatso, just happens to be from the Gelugpa school (who wear the familiar maroon and yellow robes) and as you will know is in exile, being forced by the illegal occupation by China of his country, to live in Dharamsala in Northern India.
In answer to your question; once every year H.H.The Dalai Lama invites to Dharamsala several eminent scientists working in various leading aspects of science, and from what I have read, they seem to all get much enjoyment from these exchanges. So he, and therefor 'Buddhism' is very well aware of all the latest thoughts on all aspects of science, and has said "When science proves Buddhist thought to be wrong, then we shall change Buddhism, but so far we have had no need to do this." In fact it can be said that Buddhist philosophy foreshadowed the latest scientific concepts. Found at the beginning of the Heart Sutra are the words;
'Form is no different from emptiness,
Emptiness is no different from form.
Form is precisely emptiness,
Emptiness is precisely form.'
'Two thousand years later western physicists agree. Science's concept of the universe was changed irrevocably by Quantum mechanics and relativity which questioned the separate identity of energy and matter. Our comfortable ideas of a universe made up of solid little bits of matter behaving in logical ways have been exploded, a particle is not a separate entity but a set of relationships. The world is an interconnected tissue of events, a dynamic unbroken whole, and scientists are no longer observers but participants.' One would give a lot to attend one of these Dharamsala meetings, and I hope that goes some way towards answering your question.
