scientific miracles of the vedas part 2

Nothing in Brahmand is immovable (Sam Veda)

"NOTHING IS STATIC IN THIS WORLD NEITHER LIVING OR NON LIVING". (Brahmand Puran)

"Earth is divided in many plates as much as 14 of them in present Manavatara." (Brahmand Purana) 

In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble used the 100" telescope (2.5 meters) at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California to detect variable stars in nebulae. He discovered that the stars he observed had the same characteristic variations in their brightness as a class of stars called Cepheid Variables. Earlier, astronomer Henrietta Levitt had shown there was a precise correlation between the periodic change in brightness of a Cepheid Variable and its luminosity. Hubble was able use this correlation to show that the nebulae containing the variable stars he observed were not within our own Galaxy; they were external galaxies far beyond the edge of our Milky Way.



Earth's Major Plates:


The current continental and oceanic plates include: the Eurasian plate, Australian-Indian plate, Philippine plate, Pacific plate, Juan de Fuca plate, Nazca plate, Cocos plate, North American plate, Caribbean plate, South American plate, African plate, Arabian plate, the Antarctic plate, and the Scotia plate. These plates consist of smaller sub-plates. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All the information that we have today is already mentioned in Vedas and Puranas suggesting they came from some one who is controlling the Entire Universe.
Hubble, Edwin P. (1889 - 1953) American astronomer whose observations proved that galaxies are "island universes", not nebulae inside our own galaxy. His greatest discovery, called "Hubble's Law", was the linear relationship between a galaxy's distance and the speed with which it is moving. The Hubble Space Telescope is named in his honor.

The world is undergoing continuous changes both perceptible and imperceptible. Nothing is static in this world. Even those things, which appear static to our eyes, are in fact mobile and in motion. Matter is made up of molecules and atoms. Scientists have discovered that the structure of an atom is similar to that of solar system. Electrons revolve around the nucleus of the atom just as planets revolve around the Sun in their respective orbits. When our ancient sages, in their deep level of meditation experienced this eternal truth, they proclaimed that the world was nothing but MAYA and things are not as they are perceived by our sense organs. Although the Sun appears static to our eyes but the fact is to the contrary as it is revolving, along with its planets around another Sun belonging to another galaxy, larger in size. The second Sun itself, in turn is moving around another Sun which is even larger than the second Sun. Our ancient sages in their deep meditative level saw that it was an endless process.

This mobility is evident even within our body though it does not appear so from outside. All the organs are diligently engaged in their respective functions. The heart is palpitating without taking rest even for a moment. Blood is continuously circulating in the arteries and veins. The digestive system is functioning all the time by digesting the foodstuffs we partake and providing energy without which it will be impossible for us to function. Similarly, if our lungs stop functioning then we can not live even for a moment. Same will be our fate if the heart stops functioning. But, all these functions are involuntary and are not visible from outside.
As mentioned above, even the non-living things, which are made up of countless atoms, are continuously vibrating from within- the rock, the stone, mountains, rivers- nothing is static but continuously vibrating. If the electrons stop revolving around the nucleus of the atom the very existence of matter would be in jeopardy. Be it a non-living matter or the Universe itself: everything is mobile, continuously moving either from within or outside.

Motion is life whereas immobility means death. For the world to function in an orderly manner motion is of utmost importance without which it will cease to functions. The earth though appearing static to us, is in fact continuously in motion not only from outside but also from within. The geologists are of the view that there are large Tectonic plates within the earth and they are continuously moving. This is the reason why we find our earth divided into seven continents.

Hindu concepts of Hiranyagarbha (golden womb) and Brahmanda (the first egg), are comparable to cosmic egg origin systems. The Bhagavata Purana, Brahmanda Purana, Vayu Purana among others contain references to the initial process of the origins of the universe as a cosmic egg. The twelve phase creation of the universe and the history of our Brahmanda is described in Srimad Bhagvatam.

The Hiranyagarbha Sukta announces: Hiranyagarbhah samavartatagre bhutasya jatah patireka asit, which means, Before creation existed the golden womb Hiranyagarbha, Lord of everything born. (Rig Veda 10.121.1)

The whole universe including sun, moon, planets, and galaxies was all inside the egg, and the egg was surrounded by ten qualities from outside. (Vayu Purana 4.74-75)

Before creation, it was only the braham that was everywhere. There was no day, night or sky. First I created the waters. And in the waters I sowed the seeds of brahmanda. the great egg. From this seed there developed a egg which began to float on the waters. This egg is known as Brahamand (Universe)

Now lets see what Modern Science says about it:


This is the structure of the Universe created by scientists after a research of many years. If we take a look at the COBE results, we notice the uneven pattern in the radiation stemming from the decoupling of matter and radiation when the Universe was a mere 300,000 years old. The blue and magenta patterns represent areas that were slightly cooler and slightly warmer than average. These variations are at a level of about 1:100,000, but they must have been enough to seed the structures we see today.

Finally we came to conclusion that Universe is shaped like a egg but this information was already present in Hindu Literature.

Protection of Earth

After the formation of the earth planet, Brahama created atmosphere in group of seven , from that formation oceans began to exist, and the first form of life appeared on the earth planet. Atmosphere was created as protective skin of earth (Shrimad Bhagwatam)

"Amazing isnt it Vedas and Puaran are divine source of knwoledg" said Dr. Donald Mitchell of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. It is hard to believe that these facts were already mentioned in hindu books thousands of years back, in the time when Human didnt knew much about Astronomy. 

The Vishnu Purana gives a quite an accurate description of tides: 
"In all the oceans the water remains at all times the same in quantity and never increases or diminishes; but like the water in a cauldron, which in consequence of its combination with heat, expands, so the waters of the ocean swell with the increase of the Moon. The waters, although really neither more nor less, dilate or contract as the Moon increases or wanes in the light and dark fortnights"..

"In the initial stage of creation of Universe some creation material slipped from the hands of Brahma and collided with earth resulting in the formation of Moon". (Brahmand Purana)

Now lets see what Modern Science says

The idea in a nutshell:
At the time Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, other smaller planetary bodies were also growing. One of these hit earth late in Earth's growth process, blowing out rocky debris. A fraction of that debris went into orbit 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sixty-four centuries before Isaac Newton, the Hindu Rig-Veda asserted that gravitation held the universe together. The Sanskrit speaking Aryans subscribed to the idea of a spherical earth in an era when the Greeks believed in a flat one. The Indians of the fifth century A.D. calculated the age of the earth as 4.3 billion years; scientists in 19th Century England were convinced it was 100 million years.

You can use Bhagvat Purana or other scriptures that gives in detail the time period of each "Yuga" and when you add them up it will tell us the age of EARTH.

Vishnu Purana Book 1, chapter 3, gives a detailed calculations of Time era or Yugas.

About Gravitaional forces, refer to
If we refer to Shukla Yajur Veda Chapter III, verse six it plainly describes the fact that the earth rotates around the sun in the sky.

Ayam gauh pRshnirakkramId asadan mAtram purah pitaram cha prayantsvah
“It is evident how the spherical planet comprised of the elements of earth, water and fire (energy) dynamically rotates around the all-protecting sun whilst suspended in the universe through a force of attraction (gravity) giving rise to the multitude of time periods including day and night, phases of the moon, seasons, solstices and years.”

The fact that the earth revolves is obvious from the very name for the earth (gauh) from root √gam (since it rotates).

Furthermore, that the satellites (moon and other celestial bodies) are held in their orbits in the sky by their mutual gravitational force is mentioned in these richas from Rig-Veda:

“YadA suryamamun divi shukram jyotiradhArayah, maditte vishva bhuvanAni yemire
(Rig Mandal 8 Ch. 12 verse 30)
‘Oh Indra (all sustaining Lord) through establishing the all illuminating and powerful sun you maintain control over all cosmic bodies through mutual forces.’

This demonstrates that all the constellations are maintained and controlled by mutual energy. Another half-verse from the seventh mandal chapter ten of the same samhita,

“vyastamnAdrodasi mitro” verifies this also and there are numerous other examples one could mention.

Moon does not have its own light
The fact that the moon has no inherent light was unknown to early westerners and yet the Atharva Samhita (XIV. 1.1) expression relates:

“Divi soma adhi shrutih” ‘The moon depends upon the rays from the sun (sunlight).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

Veda is an ocean and there within lies a vast resource of knowledge describing a myriad of physical, metaphysical and philosophical phenomena.

Not only is the creation of the universe intimated in great detail, it discusses the period even before the ‘Big-Bang’, which have only recently been postulated by the likes of Professor Hawking and other scientists in the west.

The list of scientific facts is endless in Hindu Scriptures..
