How Jesuits Took Calculus from India to Europe

C.K. Raju presented a brilliant paper about how calculus, an Indian invention, was picked up by the Jesuit priests from Kerala in the second half of the 16th century and taken to Europe. This is how the Westerners got their calculus. Over time, people forgot this link and the Europeans began to claim calculus as their own invention. » Jeffrey Armstrong on Vedas, Vimanas and Devas .

I recently stumbled across this article Time Travel Machine Outlinedwhich provides food for thought for those who deride the stories in the puranas about “Vimanas” as mere myths.

The report talks about recent research at Haifa’s Israel Instt. of Technology that “could possibly enable distant future generations to travel into the past” The hypothesis is – if space-time is bent far enough, so that time lines actually turn back on themselves to form a loop, such a manipulation could essentially get objects/people “back in time”.

Physicist Amos Ori whose findings are detailed in the Aug. 3 issue of the journal “Physical Review D” is quoted in the article as saying “We know that bending does happen all the time, but we want the bending to be strong enough and to take a special form where the lines of time make closed loops “We are trying to find out if it is possible to manipulate space-time to develop in such a way.” Vimana drawing courtesy: D Hatcher Childress. Do vedic yajnas really produce rain? We continue to see the importance accorded to Vedic yagnya (or yajna or yagya) ritual when it comes to rain-making.

Do vedic yajnas really produce rain?

Time and again Vedic priests perform Vedic yagnyas to invoke Gods Varuna or Indra in order to obtain rainfall. The most popular verse from Vedic scriptures that modern Hindus quote in support of this faith based activity is from Bhagavad-Gita - Annaad-bhavanti bhuutaani parjanyaad-anna sambhavah,yagnyaad-bhavati parjanyo yagnyah karma samudbhavah Lord Krishna reveals so to Arjuna in the battlefield as written in Vyasa’s Mahabharata. Translated, it means that the life is born from food, food is produced by rain, rain is produced by performing yagnya and that yagnya is performed by doing Karma. Strange Artifacts, Ancient Flying Machines. Introduction Flight has been the dream of humankind since they watched in awe as birds soared effortlessly through the sky.

Strange Artifacts, Ancient Flying Machines

But, according to accepted history, it wasn't until the 1780s that two Frenchmen achieved lighter-than-air flight when they were lifted into the air in a hot air balloon near Paris. Then powered, heavier-than-air flight became the goal. And although it was theorized that heavier-than-air flight was possible as early as the 13th century, and in the 16th century Leonardo da Vinci designed winged aircraft and a crude kind of helicopter, it wasn't until the Wright brothers made their first successful flights at Kitty Hawk in 1903 that powered flight became a reality.

Prehistoric North Sea 'Atlantis' hit by 5m tsunami. 30 April 2014Last updated at 20:28 ET By Paul Rincon Science editor, BBC News website A prehistoric "Atlantis" in the North Sea may have been abandoned after being hit by a 5m tsunami 8,200 years ago.

Prehistoric North Sea 'Atlantis' hit by 5m tsunami

The wave was generated by a catastrophic subsea landslide off the coast of Norway. Analysis suggests the tsunami over-ran Doggerland, a low-lying landmass that has since vanished beneath the waves. "It was abandoned by Mesolithic tribes about 8,000 years ago, which is when the Storegga slide happened," said Dr Jon Hill from Imperial College London.

Having been in Peru for a couple of weeks and spending most of our time amongst ancient Inca ruins I feel like this blog has gotten a bit too archaeological.

The temple complex of Raqchi

However, on our way from Cusco to Puno we stopped off at a quite different but equally wonderful set of Inca ruins in Raqchi. I guess that is the thing about the Incas, they constructed an amazing array of towns, forts and ceremonial centres in little more than a century of empire building and they are everywhere you go in Peru. Set amidst beautiful countryside and surrounded by imposing mountains on a clear, crisp morning Raqchi is an impressive and moving sight, and one that could be easily overlooked as you speed past the modern-day village on the road between Cusco and Puno.
