For those of you who have seen the previous video, the beginning is a sort of recap until 3:49, feel free to skip and watch from there onwards for lots of fascinating information!
As a philosophy student, a person who got introduced to Vedas at a really young age and an ardent enthusiast of science , I believe these kind of abstraction can lead to as many interpretations as you can. As in after, if, anyone proves string theory ontologically, there are going to be interpretations from Vedas or any ancient scriptures of the same. but why can't anyone form a groundbreaking scientific theory out of these scriptures right now. I have no problem understanding Indian philosophy, as whole, from materialism of Carvakas, Absolute determinism of Ajivikas to the latest schools of Vedanta which are much more diverse in all philosophical aspects(Epistemological, Metaphysical, Ethical, Religious, etc) in their own rights. But it is heartbreaking to see these philosophies trying to validate themselves with that of our current scientific understandings, which are repeatable and falsifiable facts of understandings that are taking us forward in the line of progress. I would strongly warn the current generation of the consequences of holding these ancient philosophies in the same level as that of scientific temperament. It would take us back 2000-3000 years behind in progress, which even the authors of these ancient texts (Author or Source, whatever you believe in) would never want.
Thank you for sharing your views. As a science student, I understand that science is not about absolute truths-it's constantly evolving. What we hold as 'true' today might change tomorrow with new theories and discoveries. Science gives us testable frameworks to understand the world, and that’s crucial. But to answer your question about why we can't form groundbreaking theories from the Vedas right now-it’s because we can only truly understand something when we already have the knowledge to interpret it. The colonizers, for example, mocked the Vedas' reference to different realms of time (like Brahmalok and Bhulok), but only because they hadn’t yet developed the scientific understanding of time dilation. It’s like handing a child a novel before teaching them the alphabet. Also, our current understanding of Sanskrit is not comprehensive enough to decode these texts fully. And as an ardent reader of the Vedas, you'd know they often convey knowledge through symbolism and metaphors. The point of my videos isn’t to dismiss science or tell people to blindly follow the Vedas. It's to suggest we shouldn’t dismiss ancient knowledge as mere 'myths' just because modern science hasn’t fully caught up. There’s a lot of wisdom in these traditions that we’re at risk of losing.
Happy Birthday, Sanjana! You have an incredible gift for bringing light to places where it has yet to shine. Wishing you all the best on your special day

Excellent summary of the growing consensus between quantum science, post-material science and ancient wisdom. Very well narrated, too.
