The Vedas are rich in knowledge, which covering topics like physics, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry architecture and life science, Ayurveda (medicine) various other fields of sciences. It is really vey fascinating to learn the knowledge based on the documentations. And it really a matter of surprise that how could the writers of those ancient ages, when there was no technology, write and have thought, pondered and explained various phenomenon that the scientists could prove only with the help of technology and tools, hundreds or thousands of years later. Vedas are strongly against any sort of discrimination and they loudly advocate meritocracy.
The Vedas are
strongly against any form of superstition, idol-worship or fatalism and
advocate potential for free-will and extracting results through efforts. The Vedas
respect all life-forms and are against any sort of killing for selfish desires.
The Vedas are
relevant to all geographies of world and all periods and not restricted to a any
particular geography or time frame.
The existence of advanced concepts like the sphericity of Earth and the cause of seasons is quite clear in the Vedic literature. For example, the Aitareya Brahmana (3.44) declares: The Sun does never set nor rise. When people think the Sun is setting, but it is not so. For after having arrived at the end of the day it makes itself produce two opposite effects, making night to what is below and day to what is on the other side. Having reached the end of the night, it makes itself produce two opposite effects, making day to what is below and night to what is on the other side. In fact, the Sun never sets.
The shape of Earth is like an Oblate Spheroid, to know more please refer Rig VedaXXX. IV.V)Earth is flattened at the poles as mentioned in Markandeya Purana 54.12.
All Sixty-four centuries before Sir Isaac Newton discovered about gravitation, the Rig-Veda asserted that gravitation held the universe together. The Sanskrit speaking Aryans subscribed to the idea of a spherical earth in an era when the Greeks believed earth is a flat one. The Indians of the fifth century A.D. calculated the age of the earth as 4.3 billion years; scientists in 19th century England were convinced it was 100 million years.
Earth is fixed by different devices like hills and mountains in shape of pegs but it still rotates. Sun never sets; all parts of earth are not in Darkness as mentioned in Rig Veda. Earth rotates in two ways by the Will of Brahama, firstof all, it rotates on its axis secondly it revolves around Sun. Days and Nights are distinguished when moves on its axis. The season changes when it revolves around the Sun which is also evident in Vishnu Puran. There are suns in all directions, the night sky being full of them is also been mentioned in Rig Veda.
