The Sanskritist's Approach to the Findings of Modern Physics & Chemistry (Information of a Newer Logic)

Book Description

Foreword
Dr. Amalendu Bagchi is a distinguished Sanskrit scholar who has extensively studied ancient Sanskrit literature on physical and chemical sciences. He has also explored corresponding Western scientific concepts, engaging in discussions with prominent figures such as Acharya Satyendra Nath Bose and Acharya Gourinath Sastri. After over three decades of dedicated research, Dr. Bagchi presents numerous correlations that merit the attention of the scientific community, offering novel insights for modern scientists. His work highlights the rich sources of India’s scientific tradition, encouraging collaboration between science and Sanskrit scholars to further investigate these insights.

Preface
Dr. Bagchi delves into the implications of E=mc², drawing parallels with Kapila’s Samkhya philosophy, which connects the dynamics of causal inter-transformatory relativity with the dimensions of material nature: ‘Sattva’ (space), ‘rajas’ (temporal motion), and ‘tamas’ (inertia). He argues that ancient Indian sciences operate on the logic of 'ahamkara' (self-manifesting Quantum-ego), essential for understanding reality within a dynamic continuum.

The distinction between modern and ancient Indian scientific thought lies in their views on the relationship between Quantum and Energy in creating manifest realities. Modern science sees Quantum as an intrinsic constant of Energy's mass-space relativity, which forms the basis of atomic and molecular structures. In contrast, while modern biochemists and neurologists strive to explain biological elements purely through mechanical features, Dr. Bagchi emphasizes the need to consider subjective self-consciousness as integral to understanding these phenomena.
