Aryabhatta invented zero. What else was invented by India's great scientists?

Answer 1

World's first plastic surgery (Rhinoplasty - nose correction) was done by Susrutha (not a scientist, but a sage of ancient India)

If you take a closer look at the Mahabharata (Epic composed in the 6th-5th century B.C.), Gandhari's 100sons were test tube babies!

Our motherland is full of talent & potential.

Answer 2

Gentleman
what Indians had not invented or pioneered to the science world?

If we want to list down, then even a month will not be enough

to name a few, here are some

Bhaskaracharya II (1114 - 1183 CE) contributed to the fields of algebra, arithmetic and geometry.

Sage Kapil - cosmology and psychology

Sage Bharadwaj - father of modern medicine, teaching Ayurveda, and developer of aviation technology

Sage Divodasa Dhanwantari - developed the school of surgery

Sage Sushrut - known as the Father of surgery. Even modern science recognizes India as the first country to develop and use rhinoplasty (developed by Sushrut). He also practiced amputation, caesarean and cranial surgeries, and developed 125 surgical instruments including scalpels, lancets, and needles.

Rishi Kashyap - developed the specialized fields of paediatrics and gynaecology

Lord Atreya, - authored Ayurvedic text - Charak Samhita, classified the principles of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, embryology, blood circulation and more.

Sage Kanad (circa 600 BCE) is recognized as the founder of atomic theory, and classified all the objects of creation into nine elements (earth, water, light or fire, wind, ether, time, space, mind and soul).

In the field of chemistry alchemical metals were developed for medicinal uses by sage Nagarjuna.
He wrote many famous books including Ras Ratnakar, which is still used in India's Ayurvedic colleges today. By carefully burning metals like iron, tin, copper, etc. into ash, removing the toxic elements, these metals produce quick and profound healing in the most difficult diseases.

Sage Aryabhatt (b. 476 CE) wrote texts on astronomy.

Varahamihr (499 - 587 CE) was another eminent astronomer.

Sage Sridharacharya developed the quadratic equation around 991 CE.

and many more............... leave alone modern day Indian scientists including kalam .............. and many more including the .........20% of nasa scientists

Answer 3

Aryabhatta did not invented zero, it was invented long before Aryabhatta's time. There are proof of zero in ancient Egyptian scripts and in ancient Indian Puranas and even in central American ancient Mayan culture. Aryabhatta created the value of decimal based on zero.

Answer 4

The number zero was invented independently in India and by the Maya. In India a decimal system was used, like ours, but they used an empty space for zero up to 3rd Century BC. This was confusing for an empty space was also used to separate numbers, and so they invented the dot for a zero. The first evidence for the use of the symbol that we now know as zero stems from the 7th century AD. i dunno if it was aryabhatta or brahmaputra

Answer 5

Bhaskara Charya invented ISRO 2nd series of satelites and was given the name bhaskara1 and bhaskara2.bhaskara was the first who gave the value for from the concept based on Aryabhata's discovery

Answer 6

Aryabatta may be a failure, but we have many other achievements - including re-entry facility, nuclear bomb, agni, prithvi, trishul, who made all this. America's Challenger went to a zero, all of this are part of the attempts.

Answer 7

Calculus finds its origins in "Shunyalabdhi", which was discovered by Indians.

Sushruta developed the technique of surgery.

Charaka developed Ayurveda, which is used even today.

The list is long, but the above three immediately come to my mind.
