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

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 “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 cosmology, astrophysics, geology, paleontology, and embryology.”– ¬Prof. S. Ghosh, Columbia University“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.”– Prof. R. Buyya, University of Melbourne“The authors bury skeptics under an avalanche of well-researched facts. A real tour-de-force of scientific expertise.”– Prof. K. Pahan, Rush University“You have synthesized challenging material from at least four different fields into a thought provoking and compelling vindication of the Puranic cosmo-chronological order.”– A Saha, Smithsonian Museum of American History
