🔱 *Vedas Knew the Speed of Light?* 🌠 An Ancient Truth Hidden in a Sanskrit Verse 🕉️ Rig Veda (Mandala 1, Hymn 50, Verse 4) Sage Sayana, a 14th-century Vedic scholar, wrote in his commentary: 📜 Sloka: > "tatha ca smaryate yojananam sahasre dve dve shate dve ca yojane ekena nimishardhena kramaman." 🗣️ Translation: "It is remembered that light travels 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha." Let’s break it down with ancient Indian units: 🛣️ 1 Yojana ≈ 9 miles ⏳ 1 Nimisha ≈ 16/75 seconds 🧮 Calculation: 2,202 yojanas × 9 miles = 19,818 miles ⏱ Half a nimisha = 16/150 seconds ≈ 0.1067 seconds 📈 Speed = Distance / Time = 19,818 / 0.1067 ≈ 185,794 miles per second 💡 That’s incredibly close to modern scientific measurement: Speed of Light = 186,282 miles per second 🧠 Did They Really Know? Whether this is coincidence, divine intuition, or evidence of an ancient scientific tradition—this verse shows the depth of Vedic wisdom. The Vedas weren't just spiritual—they encoded scientific insights, mathematical knowledge, and cosmological observations centuries before modern science. #vedas #speedoflight #rigveda #ancientscience #sanskritwisdom #hiddenknowledge #indianscience #spiritualtruths #vedicscience #lifeandcosmicchronicles
