    Re: Looking stupid trying to justify pseudo-science

    It cannot be easily falsified, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

    I don't deny that Newton did quantify gravity, but that does not mean he understood gravity qualitatively. It's a fallacy to think we have understood something if we can quantify it. The rishis understood the forces of the universe much better than any physicist will ever be able to do. Quantification can bring us to the moon, but qualitative understanding of the universe has brought our purvajas to brahmaloka and beyond.

    Here's the thing: Indians have made real contributions to science. People could be talking about Chandrasekhar and Ramanujan
    Ramanujan received his mathematical knowledge from the goddess Namagiri, that is what he himself believed. In way this is similar to how the rishis obtained their wisdom. No sceptic or "rationalist" will ever believe this.

    Sahasra, in modern times scientists (also from the west) several times solved their puzzles through dreams or visions.

    Modern western scientists are also mystics because trying to penetrate the mysteries of the phenomenal world is also a form of yoga.

    तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया ।
    उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्वदर्शिनः ॥

    उस ज्ञान को तू तत्वदर्शी ज्ञानियों के पास जाकर समझ, उनको भलीभाँति दण्डवत्* प्रणाम करने से, उनकी सेवा करने से और कपट छोड़कर सरलतापूर्वक प्रश्न करने से वे परमात्म तत्व को भलीभाँति जानने वाले ज्ञानी महात्मा तुझे उस तत्वज्ञान का उपदेश करेंगे. श्रीमद्*भगवद्*गीता-4.34
