About the Book
The origin of basic classical physical is usually attributed to the west from about 16th or 17th Century A.D. However, the great monuments all over the world provide the evidence which demonstrates the knowledge of basic classical physics it is not possible to execute such engineering feats.
What was the basic framework of classical physics of ancient Indian origin? The earliest reference to the principals of Physics is found in Vaiseshika Darshana, one of the six schools of India philosophy known as the Six Darshanas. The vaiseshika sutras of Kanada are the earliest khown source of discussion and analysis on the basic principles of classical physics. In this book an attempt is made to bring out the clear exposition of ancient classical physics, in terms of the three states of matter and various forms of energy with the qualitative description of their properties. The description of various laws of physics, as various types of motion, gravitation, electricity, magnetism and other force are all available in vaiseshika. The atomic theory of kanada is his highest contribution to ancient physics.
