The Big Bang And The Sages: Modern Science Catches Up With The Ancient Purāṇas

<p>Could anyone imagine that ancient texts stated the age of the solar system and the universe to within 0.1% of the modern scientific values? Neither could these scientists before reading this book:</p><p>It is hard to find an author who is expert in widely separated branches of science but Chhabra and O'Rourke have dexterously sewn together state-of-the-art discoveries in five fields: cosmology astrophysics geology paleontology and embryology. </p><p>“ ­Prof. S. Ghosh Columbia University</p><p>This book illustrates how the Puranas provide both a microscopic and telescopic view of the physical world from which modern science can learn and benefit. </p><p>“ Prof. R. Buyya University of Melbourne</p><p>The authors bury skeptics under an avalanche of well-researched facts. A real tour-de-force of scientific expertise.</p><p>“ Prof. K. Pahan Rush University</p><p>You have synthesized challenging material from at least four different fields into a thought provoking and compelling vindication of the Puranic cosmo-chronological order.</p><p>“ A Saha SmIt'sonian Museum of American History</p>
