Physics

We find many references in Sanskrit texts about physics in ancient India. In Sanskrit it is predominantly written in the form of hidden texts and in the form of stories. The science of matter and energy and their interactions usually grouped into fields such as mechanics, kinematics, optics, thermodynamics etc. These are observed by human beings as natural phenomenon and it also includes modern extensions like atomic particle and even plasma physics. We need an adoptive and flexible attitude during reading texts so that the hidden meanings of simple looking Sanskrit texts can become evident.
