Science came from Vedas, posited as Western knowledge: ISRO head

ISRO Chairman S Somanath said the principles of science and modern-day discoveries, inventions, theories and concepts are broadly based on Vedic knowledge. "Algebra, square roots, concepts of time, architecture, the structure of the universe, metallurgy and even aviation were first found in the Vedas," he said. He added that these principles have, however, been repackaged as Western discoveries.
