Sages of India

The 10 invented sages of India are as follows:



1. Inventor of atomic theory:


Everyone knows about the atomic bomb today. Everyone knows how dangerous it is. The inventions of this bomb in modern times are- J. Robert Openheimer. Several scientists worked from 1939 to 1945 under the leadership of Robert and it was first tested on 16 July 1945.

Although John Dalton, the father of atomic theory and astra, is believed, Rishi Kanad, at the age of 2500 years, gave him the idea of ​​atomic theory based on the sources written by Vedas. In Indian history, Rishi Kanad is considered the father of atomic science. Acharya Kanad said that matter has atoms of matter. Kanad lived in Prabhas Tirtha.

Renowned historian TN Kolebrook wrote that Acharya Kanad and other Indian scholars were famous in European science, compared to European scientists.

2. Rishi Bharadwaj:




Bharadwaj Rishi was discovered 2500 years before the Wright brothers. Although the principles of making aircraft already existed. The mention of Pushpaka Vimana is evidence of this, but sage Bharadwaj wrote a detailed scripture on it in 600 BC which is known as Vimana Shastra.
