Former ISRO chairman G. Madhavan Nair today said that some shlokas in the Vedas mentioned about presence of water on the moon and astronomy experts like Aryabhatta knew about gravitational force much before Issac Newton.
A leading scientist and Padma Vibhushan awardee speaking at an international conference on Vedas in Delhi said the Vedas and ancient scriptures also had information on metallurgy, algebra, astronomy, maths, architecture and astrology way before the western world knew about them.
He added that the information in Vedas was in a “condensed format” which made it difficult for the modern science to accept it.
