A Review of NEP Physics in Context of Vedic Text under Indian Knowledge System (I.K.S)

Abstract

The Word “Veda” is derived from Sanskrit word “vid” which means To Know. The foundation and outlook of Indian culture has been focused on scientific facts since ancient times. The human body and pride on this Earth are composed of five elements. i.e. “क्षिति जल पावक गगन समीरा, पञ्च रचित यह अधम शरीरा” “Kshiti jal paawak gagan sameera, panch rachit yah adham sharira” Even in the new era the entire science is concentrated on these five elements. In ancient Vedas and purana’s physics has been mentioned extensively under the name “BHAUTIK SHASTRAM”. Basically, physics is the study of rules of nature. Ancient Vedas provides us very deep explanation of nature and natural phenomena. In modern era classical physics leads to study of motion of macroscopic objects. As the motion is impossible without energy many years ago Vedic physics described the concept of energy along with concept of motion. American physicist Benjamin Franklin brings to light the concept of charge in 18th century, which was already discussed in Agastya samhita (Vedic physics). English physicist and mathematician James Prescott Joule discovered the concept of heat (a form of energy), Sodi carnot is considered father of thermodynamics but the Yajurveda (Vedic physics) put forward the concept of heat earlier at Vedic period of Indian history. Even that Vedic physics is very useful to understand Quantum phenomena, where the information leads to microscopic level (Study of behavior and properties of microscopic objects). In the field of Quantum mechanics, Vedas, puranas, upanishads had postulated many theories about universe and its atomic structure. This Article leads to discussion of ancient Vedic Science Theories and their comparison with modern Science Theories.
