For those who amaze at the discoveries of Westerners, for those are dependent on the western products for the life style ,here you go:
Today there are vast amount of inventions and discoveries in science and technology by lots of scientists. Lots and lots of sateliites transmits signals to and from earth. Giant telescopes large distant zooms celestial objects to a breat extent. But there was a time period where the words 'Satellites' ,'Telescopes' were not in use and not known to people. But it did not stop them to contribute to science
The distance between sun and the earth is approximately 15 crore kms (In Indian system). The time taken for sunlight to travel to earth is measured as 186000 miles with latest telescopes
But for our ancestors:
'I bow to the sun, who travels 2,202 yojanas in half a nimesha' (mentioned in sanksrit)
This is mentioned in Rig veda. Be ready with your calculators
A yojana is about nine American miles; a nimesha is 16/75 of a second. Mathematically challenged readers, get out your calculators!2,202 yojanas x 9 miles x 75 - 8 nimeshas = 185,794 m.p.s
One of the most popular mathematical theorems, the theorem which even a school kid can tell instantly is 'Pythagorus Theorem'
Square on the hypotenuse is equal to sum of the squares on other two sides'
The magical sentence given by Greek scientist Pythagorus to this world. Can you believe an equivalent theorem is already found in our ancinet books 'Shatpatha Brahmana' and 'Sulba Sutra'
We punish our kids who get zero their subjects. That famous zero without which mathematics is incomplete is given by Indians. We can share the pride with Egyptians.
In Book :Taittiriya Samhita of the Black Yajurveda.
Many significant scientific discoveries had been already mentioned in Vedas.
The most horrifying and threatening word 'Atom' is present even before 600BC as 'Paramanu' and Relativity concept as 'Sapekshavada'
Law of Gravity - Pride goes to Sir Issc Newton. But 1200 years before his discovery, Indian Scientist Bhaskarachariya in his book 'Suriya Sidhantha' has explained gravity as
Objects fall on earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. therefore, the earth, the planets, constellations, the moon and the sun are held in orbit due to this attraction".
Newton has just made a 'REDISCOVERY'
Einstien's opinion about our Indian science
"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made." - Albert Einstein.
In the field of Medicine, our scienctists contributions are remarkable
The concept of Plastic surgery is first introduced by India and credit goes to Susrutha.
Inventing over 125 surgical instruments , around 300 operations and 42 surgical processes he created a new dimension to surgical world.
He classifies Plastic Surgery in 8 categories
Aharyam = extracting solid bodies
Bhedyam = excision
Chhedyam = incision
Aeshyam = probing
Lekhyam = scarification
Vedhyam = puncturing
Visraavyam = evacuating fluids
Sivyam = suturing
Bhedyam = excision
Chhedyam = incision
Aeshyam = probing
Lekhyam = scarification
Vedhyam = puncturing
Visraavyam = evacuating fluids
Sivyam = suturing
All these 2600 years before. And that is why he is called 'Father of Plastic Surgery'
The medical world points Indian Surgery methods as:
"The Hindus (Indians) were so advanced in surgery that their instruments could cut a hair longitudinally"
"The surgery of the ancient Indian physicians was bold and skilful. A special branch of surgery was devoted to rhinoplasty or operations for improving deformed ears, noses and forming new ones, which European surgeons have now borrowed".-Sir W.Hunter (British Surgeon, 1718-1783)
Before the inventions of Airplanes by Wright Brothers i.e. 600 BC , Saint Bharadwaaj contributed his knowledge in 'Aviation Engineering'. Many of today's technology in Aviation technology inspires his knowledges and theories.
His creativity for flying machines started well before Leonardo Da Vinci.
Before the birth of Jesus Chirst Indian Doctors gave uncountable solutions in fieds such as Anatomy, Physiology, Blood circulation, embryology, heart etc.When Europeans were not even aware of TB, Diabetes our scientists have wrote cures and treatments for them in Ayurveda medicine.
Unfortunately they have been uncredited and not been known even by Indians.
