Scientific Inventions and Discoveries by Ancient INDIANS

During the growth of ancient civilization, ancient technology was the result of incredible development in ancient engineering and medicine in ancient times. However many ancient inventions are forgotten, especially in India. Indian architectures, especially the temples in India are the most wonderful buildings which are built in a perfect orientation in older days which even modern technology fails. Atomic Theory: John Dalton an English chemist and physicist is the man who is credited with the development of atomic theory, but 2600 years ago an Indian sage , Acharya Kanad who formulated atomic theory. He is the one who originally formulated the ideas of atoms. He called the molecules as anu . He also stated that anu has two different states- Absolute rest and State of motion . Law of Gravity: Objects fall on the earth due to force of attraction by the Earth. Therefore the celestial bodies are held in a orbit due to this attraction, these lines explains Newton

LIGHTNING

  What comes to our mind when someone says lightning? A flash of powerful light in sky before or after rain,or some remember the god Zeus of Greek mythology or some remember Thor of  marvel avengers , but actually  Lightning is a natural phenomenon caused by sudden electrical discharge of electrons moving very quickly from one place to another.   Lightning has a very high voltage so that it can also travel in air- which is a very bad conductor of electricity.   If we capture a single strike of lightning and use its electric current, we can supply electricity to an entire city for a month without any break. Now the question is " Can we harness lightning? "   Many scientist have declared that lightning can't be harnessed, because it is not possible to receive that great voltage and store into a battery or some thing else.   But what I want to say is, it is possible to harness lightning to produce electricity, but it need's a huge investment.
