Acharya Bharadwaj (800 BCE) was the pioneer of aviation technology and
has written ‘Yantra Sarvasa’ which includes astonishing and outstanding
discoveries. He at the time described three categories of flying
machines that travel from one planet to another but also astonishingly
from one universe to another. Space travel existed in the ancient Vedic
times, something that science today has even barely broken the surface
on.
Acharya Kapil (3000 BCE) was the father of cosmology. His research on
primal matter and creation makes today's science look like an
introductory course. The big bang theory? How about when he answers
questions on the creation of the universe. Hindus were far ahead of
their times. The proof exists in our sacred books.
Acharya Charak (600 BCE) was the father of Medicine. His renowned work
‘Charak Samhita’ which is considered the encyclopedia of Ayurveda today
goes in depth about his principals, diagnoses and cures that still
retain their potency and truth even after a couple of millennia. His
research led to the facts of the Human anatomy, embryology,
pharmacology, blood circulation and diseases like diabetes ,
tuberculosis, heart disease, etc. Charak Samhita describes medicinal
qualities and functions of 100,000 herbal plants that today's science is
still doing research on.
Acharya Kanad (600 BCE) was the founder of Atomic Theory. In his
‘Vaisheshik Darshan’ treatise he wrote "Every object of creation is made
of atoms which in turn connect with each other to form molecules". This
statement ushered in the Atomic Theory for the first time ever in the
world, nearly 2500 years before John Dalton.
Rishi Nagarjuna (100 CE) The Master of Chemical Science. His vast
research produced maiden discoveries and inventions in the faculties of
Chemistry and Metallurgy. His textual masterprices like ‘Ras Ratnakar’,
‘Rashrudaya’ and ‘Rasendramangal’ are his contributions to Chemistry.
Where medieval alchemists of England failed, Rishi Nagarjuna has
discovered the alchemy of transmuting base metals into gold. His
discoveries still impress and astonish scientists today.
Rishi Aryabhatt (476 CE) Master Astronomer and Mathematician. At the age
of just 23 he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparalleled treatise on
mathematics called ’Aryanbhatiyam’. He formulated the process of
calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. (100 years
ago, the church had problems describing and accepting this as a
scientific phenomenon). Aryabhatt was the first to claim that the earth
was round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and suspended in space
– 1000 years ago before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory.
Aryabhatt was the first to acknowledge the Pi to four decimal place
(3.1416) and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE,
the Arab mathematician Ibna Musa credited the value of Pi to the
Indians, "This value has been given by the Hindus". Above all Rishi
Aryabhatt’s most spectacular contribution is the concept of zero without
which modern computers technology would have been non-existent.
Rishi Varahamihir (499-587 CE) - Master Scientist, Astrologer and
Astronomer. In his book ‘Panchsiddhant’, he notes that the moon and the
planets are lustrous not because of their own light but due to sunlight.
In the ‘Bruhad Samhita’ and ‘Bruhad Jatak’, he revealed his discoveries
in the domains of geography, constellation science, botany and animal
science.
Rishi Bhaskaracharya II (1114-1183) - Master of
Algebra/Geometry/Astronomy. His works in Algebra, Arithmetic and
Geometry catapulted him to fame and immortality. His renowned works are
‘Lilavani’ and ‘Bijaganita’ which are considered unparalleled. In his
works ‘Surya Siddhant’, he makes a note on the force of gravity:
"Objects fall on earth due to a force of attraction by the earth.
Therefore the earth, the planets, constellations, moon and sun are held
in orbit due to this attraction".
Bhaskaracharya was the first to discover gravity, 500 years before Isaac Newton.
India and Pakistan got partitioned during the midnight of 14-15 August 1947. Pakistan was formed before 12 and India was formed after 12. That is why, Pakistan celebrate their Independence Day one day earlier than India.
