Zero to Gravity: The Ancient Indian Roots of Modern Science.
Explore the 108 foundational concepts across mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and engineering..
PART 1: THE ROOTS OF MATHEMATICS
PART II: THE ROOTS OF ASTRONOMY AND COSMOLOGY
Causality (Karya–Karana Bhava) – Where There is Smoke, There is Fire
The Concept There is a cause for every outcome. Things do not happen by coincidence; there is a chain [...]
Standardised Measurement (Angula) – The Blueprint of Civilization
The Concept Standardisation is the key to civilisation. Engineering cannot function unless everyone uses the same ruler. The Story [...]
Heat as Energy (Tejas) – Breaking the Atomic Bonds
The Concept Old European science considered heat to be a fluid, but it is actually a form of energy [...]
Electric Cells (Agastya Samhita) – The Ancient Battery
The Concept When two different metals react with an acidic solution, they generate electricity. The Story In a text [...]
Energy Conservation (Satkaryavada) – The Real Never Ceases to Be
The Concept The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. The central [...]
Magnetism (Chumbak) – The Beloved of Iron
The Concept Some stones, such as lodestones, draw iron towards them. This invisible force is magnetism. The Story Long [...]
