Physics and Its Innovations Incorporating Indian Knowledge System: Bridging Tradition with Modern Science

The research discussed here looks at the coupling of Indian philosophical paradigms with present-day paradigms in physics, and serves to help connect ancient modes of scientific thinking with screening systems currently used in physics. Exploring the eternal realm of Indian philosophy exploring the basic concepts of matter and motion and energy and space as mentioned in the Vaisheshika Sutras, Surya Siddhanta, Aryabhatiya, etc. Coming as they do, some two to three millennia earlier than ideas information on many of the things we speak about today, at least in modern physics, it becomes very hard not to notice that there is knowledge of atomism, nature of the universe, and behaviour of lights embedded in these texts.
This paper analyses how ancient Greek and Roman ideas have underpinned contemporary innovations in a world particularly focused on research in space and alternative energy and material science, up to October 2023. This is achieved through comparative analysis between ancient texts from India and modern science with the objective to find similarities and inconsistencies between them. Historical contributions like water clock designs, records of astronomical observations, and early ideas of gravity indicate that ancient India had a deep and sophisticated understanding of the laws governing the physical universe.
Main Findings Many of the innovations in modern physics could find their roots in the Indian traditional knowledge systems with a holistic, integrated approach to the science of nature. This study highlights the importance of integrating Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) into modern science's education and practice by taking highlights from multiple disciplines. This research calls for a holistic, culturally attuned approach to technological evolution, stressing that future advances in physics should account for sustainability and native wisdom. Secreted from 6-4.
