                                       Ancient Understanding of " THEORY OF RELATIVITY "



The most original and influential thinker in the history of philosophy a scholar at KANISKA COURT was NAGARJUNA , after the historical Buddha he was the next recognized Buddhist philosopher, he was a Brahman and later on embraced Buddhism and explained the principles of Mahayanism ,along with the  concept of "Midway"( Madyamata ) based around the central notion of emptiness. He expounded his philosophical thoughts in a scientific teaching that a determination of a thing or object is only possible in relation to other thing or objects especially by way of contrast;just like "Theory of Relativity " that no object in the universe has its independence existence. For instance Goodness can only be possible when there is some Evil and similarly the existence of Light is possible when the Darkness exists. By the same explanation the future generation in a matter of 30 to 40 years from now can look forward to settle in ZERO GRAVITY  going by the theory of relativity even-though space environment is hostile presently spacecrafts are providing platforms for zero gravity exposure to space. A famous British writer Arthur Clarke once said that " There is no difference between magic and highest technology ", indeed what could have seemed to people of past must be a miracle happened due to advancement of science and research based on the concepts of Relativity. Our humanity can now surely aspire in near future to dwell in Space ,even Ancient MAYAN CIVILIZATION who were responsible for a number of remarkable scientific achievement in engineering and communication predicted that living in zero gravity space is not far away......ancient surely understood the THEORY OF RELATIVITY as well as any scientist of the present age.
