Are ancient Indians the real innovators of science,music and mathematics

Question

I have noticed something very odd

Ancient Indians found zero and all those math stuff

They have already predicted scientific facts in upanishads,vedas etc

When it comes to music their rhythmic pattern system(tala) is much complex than any other and their music is also filled with absolute melody

I also think that modern europeans just copied their ideas

They also copied the ayurvedic system

And for ex we all think that leonardo da vinci is the real innovator of airplane but in the ramayana the detail of an airplane is clearly explained.It is also said that Ravana has used it for kidnapping Sita.

I am not an indian but after involving I came to realize the fact that they are the ultimate genius

What do you think?

Answer 1

i think your right....but its not neccessarily that europeans copied something...its just that they arrived at the same result later and made a big deal out of it...while Indians (who are a much older civilisation) found out about it way way earlier than western world but did not have modes to communicate it to everyone else in the galaxy....niether did they feel the need to "prove" that they discovered it.

Answer 2

Ramayana and mention of an aeroplane is just a story.We dont have any proof.Normally once invented,it should remain in service unless more effecient things comne to use, Where is the planes in India before write brothers made it in USA?

Leo Nardo Davinci made sketches of a helicopter,But technology was not available at that time.Babbage made maths for computer logic,but electronics was not there to make it.

There were maths and medicines in India.Arabs learned it and then it reached Europe.That is trrue.But claiming everything is not fair.

Answer 3

Well, let's look at other nationalities and mathematics and science.

The Arabs invented algebra.

Euclid, a Greek, invented plane geometry.

Archimedes, a Greek, invented calculus, but this was not known until  recently.

The Mayans also invented zero.

Newton, an Englishman, and Leibnitz, a German, invented calculus.

French mathematicians invented probability.

Einstein discovered general and special relativity.

Sir William Harvey, an Englishman, discovered that blood circulates.

Einstein proved that there are molecules.

Einstein proved that there are photons.

Maxwell discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

Heisenberg discovered the uncertainty principle.

Watson and Crick showed the three dimensional structure of DNA.

and so on.

None of these are copies of anything that is Indian.
