Science?

[satay]

obviously when we speak of 'science' here in this forum we speak of the 'western science'. Vigyana of Bharata was already hundreds of years ahead of the westerners. When westerners were roaming the jungles learning to live in the harsh conditions...rishis of bharata were writing vedas and all theories on vigyana...

nuclear weapons and planes already existed in the time of mahabharata and ramayana so what did the wright brothers discover?

The Wright brothers discovered they could have a good old time down at the beach in North Carolina

While we are at it, let us collect the details about the first historical flight staged by Shivkar Bapuji Talpade:

Orville Wright demonstrated on December 17th 1903 that it was possible for a ‘manned heavier than air machine to fly’. But, in 1895, eight years earlier, the Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Bapuji Talpade had designed a basic aircraft called Marutsakthi (meaning Power of Air) based on Vedic technology and had it take off unmanned before a large audience in the Chowpathy beach of Bombay. The importance of the Wright brothers lies in the fact, that it was a manned flight for a distance of 120 feet and Orville Wright became the first man to fly. But Talpade’s unmanned aircraft flew to a height of 1500 feet before crashing down and the historian Evan Koshtka, has described Talpade as the ‘first creator of an aircraft’.

But this success of an Indian scientist was not liked by the Imperial rulers. Warned by the British Government the Maharaja of Baroda stopped helping Talpade. It is said that the remains of the Marutsakthi were sold to ‘foreign parties’ by the relatives of Talpade in order to salvage whatever they can out of their loans to him. Talpade’s wife died at this critical juncture and he was not in a mental frame to continue with his researches. But his efforts to make known the greatness of Vedic Shastras was recognised by Indian scholars, who gave him the title of Vidya Prakash Pra-deep.

Talpade passed away in 1916 un-honoured, in his own country

I doubt if there ever was an engine power plane used by ancient Indians. Because how could science progress to a plane without an automobile in the first place? There is no evidence of automobiles and they were only using horses and elephants. The science of aeronautics is so complex that it is very hard to imagine that ancients had it. The plane, if at all it existed, must have been one driven by the mind, which is possible in the advanced stages of Yoga.

No idea on the nuclear bombs, some people say that Brahmastra and other astras are nuclear bombs. They dont seem to tally for me - astras are divine in nature, and they are summoned and withdrawn at all ; they seem to be more than nuclear bombs. Astras can also selectively destroy only the enemy, without even touching your own army - incomptatible with a nuclear bomb.

Of course, I could be wrong. But there does not seem to be good evidence. It is easier to beleive in divine miracles(which needs no proof) than the scientific claims of ancient India(which need to be demonstrated).
