10 Discoveries Unexplained By Science
OHM SACRED CHANT WAS HEARD IN EGYPT PYRAMID- CYMATICS.
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ― Nikola Tesla
Sounds creates form, and according to Vedic philosophy, Om is the primordial sound from which the whole universe was created. All matter resonates at a frequency, a vibration. And it is believed that the vibration/frequency is OM.. It is a sacred sound in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Om is also know as Omkāra (Aum syllable). It appears at the beginning of most Vedic chants and is said to be the essence of the Vedas.
“All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We’re all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There’s no such thing as death. Life is just a dream. And we are the imagination of ourselves.”-Bill Hicks
Bill hicks surely understood.
Cymatics: Below is a photo example of some of the patterns that are created by vibrating particles (or even water) using sound frequencies on a plate/medium:
SWASTIKA ORIGINATED IN INDIA >15000 YRS AGO TO ALL OVER WORLD
The swastika symbol originated in India and oldest swastika is 15,000 years ago.
Swastika is a Sanskrit word. SU means "good" ASTI means " to be "However, it is also known by different names in different countries - like ‘Wan’ in China, ‘Manji’ in Japan, ‘Fylfot’ in England, ‘Hakenkreuz’ in Germany and ‘Tetraskelion’ or ‘Tetragammadion’ in Greece.
Lord Shiva, gave the language Sanskrit to the Vedic civilization millions of years ago(not 10000 yrs ago).
The earliest swastika ever found was uncovered in Mezine, Ukraine, carved on an ivory figurine, which dates an incredible 12,000 years, and one of the earliest cultures that are known to have used the Swastika was a Neolithic culture in Southern Europe, in the area that is now Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, known as the Vinca Culture, which dates back around 8,000 years LINK
Swastika with Ganesha inset was found on Mohenjodaro and Harappan pottery of 3500BC ( Indus valley civilisation ).
On the walls of the Christian catacombs in Rome, the symbol of the Swastika appears next to the words “ZOTIKO ZOTIKO” which means “Life of Life”. It can also be found on the window openings of the mysterious Lalibela Rock churches of Ethiopia, and in various other churches around the world
Archeologist Heinrich Schliemann found the Swastika symbol at Troy, where the Trojan war was fought in 1200 BC, there has been great western interest in the Swastika symbol .
The Russian Stonehenge more grander and much older than the British Stonehenge was unearthed at Arkaim, Cheliabinsk, at the Urals. Putin went to visit the site, when they found the ancient Aryan Swastika symbol on unearthed pottery.
Buddha was an Indian. He adopted the left handed Swastika for his religion in 1900 BC.
In Hinduism the left handed Swastika is the symbol for terrifying Kali, the destroyer goddess-- as a Yang symbol for Ying.( Tamas / Rajas ).
The right handed Swastika is the second most important symbol for the Indian Hindu. The first is OM. OM is a sound carrier MANTRA.It represents the cosmic spinning vortex. Everything is energy. All energy is a vortex .
Swastika was a symbol of the Dryuhus ( Druids ) who migrated from Indian river Saraswati banks in 4000 BC. Druids are reputed to have built the British Stonehenge. All druid images have been unearthed in Vedic style meditative poses.
King Vikramaditya's hawks and homing pigeons ( fax machines of that age ) use to have a golden swastika royal seal strapped around their legs.
In Nordic Myths, Odin is represented passing through space as a whirling disk or swastika looking down through all worlds. In North America, the swastika was used by the Navajos. In Ancient Greece, Pythagoras used the Swastika under the name ‘Tetraktys’ and it was a symbol linking heaven and earth, with the right arm pointing to heaven and its left arm pointing to Earth. It has been used by the Phoenicians as a symbol of the Sun and it was a sacred symbol used by the priestesses.
A HINDU PIOUS SIGN SWASTIKA WAS STOLEN BY GERMANS AS THEY DID TO MANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY FROM INDIA IN PAST AS SUFFERED DESTRUCTION.
Same swastika that was used in Ancient India and copied to Japan, even USA(Military used by American military unit in WW1, in 1935 .

German scholars translated many Ancient indian text and copied them. Not only that Ancient VIMAN , aeroplane was first used by Ancient India per texts written way back in India before Wright brothers but as before, they all broke copyright law and put their name. Now westerners are making a cry that somebody in China, India breaking their movie copyright? HUH.

SCIENCE BEHIND INDIAN CUSTOMS- WHY YOU FORGOT THESE.
Mysteries Explored: Shocking science behind Hindu traditions: Indian Customs Vs Scientific Reasons Traditions in Hinduism were considered mainly as superstitions, but with the advent of science, it is becoming evident that these traditions are based on some scientific knowledge and moved from generations to generations as traditions. Though the common people did not know science in it, they were following it very faithfully over the years. This is an attempt to bring forward the science involved in these traditions and rituals...
1. Throwing Coins into a River: The general reasoning given for this act is that it brings Good Luck. However, scientifically speaking, in the ancient times, most of the currency used was made of copper unlike the stainless steel coins of today. Copper is a vital metal very useful to the human body. Throwing coins in the river was one way our fore-fathers ensured we intake sufficient copper as part of the water as rivers were the only source of drinking water. Making it a custom ensured that all of us follow the practice.
2. Joining Both Palms together to Greet: In Hindu culture, people greet each other by joining their palms - termed as “Namaskar.” The general reason behind this tradition is that greeting by joining both the palms means respect. However, scientifically speaking, joining both hands ensures joining the tips of all the fingers together; which are denoted to the pressure points of eyes, ears, and mind. Pressing them together is said to activate the pressure points which helps us remember that person for a long time. And, no germs since we don’t make any physical contact!
3. Why do Indian Women wear Toe Ring: Wearing toe rings is not just the significance of married women but there is science behind it. Normally toe rings are worn on the second toe. A particular nerve from the second toe connects the uterus and passes to heart(ACCUPRESSURE POINTS). Wearing toe ring on this finger strengthens the uterus. It will keep it healthy by regulating the blood flow to it and menstrual cycle will be regularized. As Silver is a good conductor, it also absorbs polar energies from the earth and passes it to the body.
4. Applying Tilak on the Forehead: On the forehead, between the two eyebrows, is a spot that is considered as a major nerve point in human body since ancient times. The Tilak is believed to prevent the loss of "energy", the red 'kumkum' between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. While applying kumkum the points on the mid-brow region and Adnya-chakra are automatically pressed. This also facilitates the blood supply to the face muscles.
5. Why do Temples have Bells: People who are visiting the temple should and will Ring the bell before entering the inner sanctum (Garbhagudi or Garbha Gruha or womb-chamber) where the main idol is placed. According to Agama Sastra, the bell is used to give sound for keeping evil forces away and the ring of the bell is pleasant to God.
However, the scientific reason behind bells is that their ring clears our mind and helps us stay sharp and keep our full concentration on devotional purpose. These bells are made in such a way that when they produce a sound it creates a unity in the Left and Right parts of our brains. The moment we ring the bell, it produces a sharp and enduring sound which lasts for minimum of 7 seconds in echo mode. The duration of echo is good enough to activate all the seven healing centres in our body. This results in emptying our brain from all negative thoughts.
6. Why do we have Navratras: These nine days were marked as a period when people would clean their body system by keeping fasts by avoiding excessive salt and sugar, meditate, gain a lot of positive energy, gain a lot of self confidence & increase the self determination power (fasts are a medium to improve our will power and self determination) and finally get ready for the challenges of the changed season.
7. Why do we worship Tulsi Plant: Hindu religion has bestowed ‘Tulsi’, with the status of mother. Also known as ‘Sacred or Holy Basil’, Tulsi, has been recognized as a religious and spiritual devout in many parts of the world. The vedic sages knew the benefits of Tulsi and that is why they personified it as a Goddess and gave a clear message to the entire community that it needs to be taken care of by the people, literate or illiterate. It is like Sanjeevani for the mankind. Tulsi has great medicinal properties. It is a remarkable antibiotic. Taking Tulsi everyday in tea or otherwise increases immunity and help the drinker prevent diseases, stabilize his or her health condition, balance his or her body system and most important of all, prolong his or her life. Keeping Tulsi plant at home prevents insects and mosquitoes from entering the house. It is said that snakes do not dare to go near a Tulsi plant. Maybe that is why ancient people would grow lots of Tulsi near their houses.
8. Why do we worship Peepal Tree: Our ancestors knew that ‘Peepal’ is one of the very few trees (or probably the only tree) which produces oxygen even at night. So in order to save this tree because of its unique property they related it to God/religion.
9. Start with Spice & End with Sweet: Our ancestors have stressed on the fact that our meals should be started off with something spicy and sweet dishes should be taken towards the end. The significance of this eating practice is that while spicy things activate the digestive juices and acids and ensure that the digestion process goes on smoothly and efficiently, sweets or carbohydrates pulls down the digestive process. Hence, sweets were always recommended to be taken as a last item.
10. Choti (SHIKHA)on the Male Head: Sushrut rishi, the foremost surgeon of Ayurveda, describes the master sensitive spot on the head as Adhipati Marma, where there is a nexus of all nerves. The shikha protects this spot. Below, in the brain, occurs the Brahmarandhra, where the sushumnã (nerve) arrives from the lower part of the body. In Yog, Brahmarandhra is the highest, seventh chakra, with the thousand-petalled lotus. It is the centre of wisdom. The knotted shikhã helps boost this centre and conserve its subtle energy known as ojas.
11. Applying Mehendi/Henna on the Hand: Mehndi is a very powerful medicinal herb. Weddings are stressful, and often, the stress causes headaches and fevers. Application of mehndi can prevent too much stress because it cools the body and keeps the nerves from becoming tense. This is the reason why mehndi is applied on the hands and feet, which house nerve endings in the body.
12. Celebration & Cleaning During Diwali: Diwali usually falls in October or November which marks the start of winter season and end of rainy season. Rainy season wasn't a good time for everyone back then; many homes needed repair and renovation after a heavy fall. That is why time before diwali was considered the period during which everyone can indulge in cleaning and beautification of their home. 13. Sitting on the Floor & Eating: This tradition is not just about sitting on floor and eating, it is regarding sitting in the “Sukhasan” position and then eating. Sukhasan is the position we normally use for Yoga asanas. Sitting in this position while eating helps in improving digestion as the circulatory system can focus solely upon digestion and not on our legs dangling from a chair or supporting us while we are standing.
14. Why not to sleep with Your Head towards North: Because human body has its own magnetic field (Also known as hearts magnetic field, because the flow of blood) and Earth is a giant magnet. When we sleep with head towards north, our body's magnetic field become completely asymmetrical to the Earth's Magnetic field. That cause problems related to blood pressure and our heart needs to work harder in order to overcome this asymmetry of Magnetic fields. Apart from this another reason is that Our body have significant amount of iron in our blood. When we sleep in this position, iron from the whole body starts to congregate in brain. This can cause headache, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cognitive Decline, Parkinson disease and brain degeneration.
15. Surya Namaskar: It is mainly because looking at Sun rays through water or directly at that time of the day is good for eyes (GET VIT D 3 ALSO)
16. Ear Piercing in Children: Ear piercing helps in speech-restraint. It helps to reduce impertinent behaviour and the ear-channels become free from disorders. This idea appeals to the Western world as well, and so they are getting their ears pierced to wear fancy earrings as a mark of fashion.
17. Application of Sindoor or Vermillion: It is interesting to note that that the application of sindoor by married women carries a physiological significance. This is so because Sindoor is prepared by mixing turmeric-lime and the metal mercury. Due to its intrinsic properties, mercury, besides controlling blood pressure also activates sexual drive. This also explains why Sindoor is prohibited for the widows. For best results, Sindoor should be applied right upto the pituitary gland where all our feelings are centered. Mercury is also known for removing stress and strain.
18. The scientific explanation of ouching Feet(charan sparsh): Usually, the person of whose feet you are touching is either old or pious. When they accept your respect which came from your reduced ego (and is called your shraddha) their hearts emit positive thoughts and energy (which is called their karuna) which reaches you through their hands and toes. In essence, the completed circuit enables flow of energy and increases cosmic energy, switching on a quick connect between two minds and hearts. The nerves that start from our brain spread across all your body. These nerves or wires end in the fingertips of your hand and feet. When you join the fingertips of your hand to those of their opposite feet, a circuit is immediately formed and the energies of two bodies are connected. Your fingers and palms become the ‘receptor’ of energy and the feet of other person become the ‘giver’ of energy.
19. Why do we Fast: Ayurveda,ancient Indian medical system sees the basic cause of many diseases as the accumulation of toxic materials in the digestive system. Regular cleansing of toxic materials keeps one healthy. By fasting, the digestive organs get rest and all body mechanisms are cleansed and corrected. A complete fast is good for heath, and the occasional intake of warm lemon juice during the period of fasting prevents the flatulence. Since the human body, as explained by Ayurveda, is composed of 70% liquid and 30% solid, like the earth, the gravitational force of the moon affects the fluid contents of the body. It causes emotional imbalances in the body, making some people tense, irritable and violent. Fasting acts as antidote, for it lowers the acid content in the body which helps people to retain their sanity. Research suggests there are major health benefits to caloric restriction like reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, immune disorders etc.
20. Why Idol Worship: Hinduism propagates idol worship more than any other religion. Researchers say that this was initiated for the purpose of increasing concentration during prayers. According to psychiatrists, a man will shape his thoughts as per what he sees. If you have 3 different objects in front of you, your thinking will change according to the object you are viewing. Similarly, in ancient India, idol worship was established so that when people view idols it is easy for them to concentrate to gain spiritual energy and meditate without mental diversion.
21. Why do Indian Women wear Bangles: Normally the wrist portion is in constant activation on any human. Also the pulse beat in this portion is mostly checked for all sorts of ailments. The Bangles used by women are normally in the wrist part of ones hand and its constant friction increases the blood circulation level. Further more the electricity passing out through outer skin is again reverted to one's own body because of the ring shaped bangles, which has no ends to pass the energy outside but to send it back to the body

GRAPHENE FOR GREEN ENERGY CELLS
Scientists in the UK have found that graphene isn’t just incredibly strong and
light – it also allows protons, or positively charged hydrogen atoms, to pass
through it.
This means that in the future it could be used to build fuel cells that generate electricity from nothing but the hydrogen in the atmosphere.
“We are very excited about this result because it opens a whole new area of promising applications for graphene in clean energy harvesting and hydrogen-based technologies,” stated the co-author of the study, Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo of Manchester University.
The team was led by Andre Geim – the scientist who was involved in first isolating graphene back in 2004 – and their discovery is just one of many revolutionary property displayed by the material.
First of all, graphene is just one-carbon-atom thick, making it one of the thinnest and lightest materials on Earth, and it’s also 200 times stronger than steel, flexible and highly conductive.
It’s also impermeable to gasses and liquids, and even the smallest of atoms.
But in the new study, the researchers decided to test whether it also repelled protons – hydrogen atoms that had been stripped of all their electrons.
Surprisingly, they found that the protons could pass through the material quite easily, especially when the temperatures were raised and the graphene was coated in nanoparticles, such as platinum, which acted as a catalyst. Their results are published in Nature.
This means that graphene could one day be used to build more efficient fuel cells by being incorporated into proton-conducting membranes – crucial elements of fuel cell technology.
Fuel cells are devices that trigger a reaction of oxygen and hydrogen fuel, and convert chemical energy into electricity with only water as a byproduct.
These are already used in some electric cars, but currently they’re not as efficient as they need to be to replace fossil fuels.
The major issue is that the fuels leaks across the existing proton membranes, effectively poisoning the process and making the fuel cell less effective – something that the researchers have now shown could be overcome by using impermeable graphene.
Even more excitingly, the researchers found that the graphene membrane could actually be used to extract hydrogen straight from the atmosphere, which means it could be used to create mobile electric generators that are power by nothing more than hydrogen in air.
“Essentially, you pump your fuel from the atmosphere and get electricity out of it,” stated Geim. “Our study provides proof that this kind of device is possible.”
Obviously the research is in its very early stages, and we still need to learn more about how protons pass through graphene. It’s also not clear exactly how much electricity could be generated out of the tiny amounts of hydrogen that are present in the atmosphere. But it’s a fascinating discovery that could change the way we harvest electricity, and that’s pretty damn exciting.

This means that in the future it could be used to build fuel cells that generate electricity from nothing but the hydrogen in the atmosphere.

The team was led by Andre Geim – the scientist who was involved in first isolating graphene back in 2004 – and their discovery is just one of many revolutionary property displayed by the material.
First of all, graphene is just one-carbon-atom thick, making it one of the thinnest and lightest materials on Earth, and it’s also 200 times stronger than steel, flexible and highly conductive.
It’s also impermeable to gasses and liquids, and even the smallest of atoms.
But in the new study, the researchers decided to test whether it also repelled protons – hydrogen atoms that had been stripped of all their electrons.
Surprisingly, they found that the protons could pass through the material quite easily, especially when the temperatures were raised and the graphene was coated in nanoparticles, such as platinum, which acted as a catalyst. Their results are published in Nature.
This means that graphene could one day be used to build more efficient fuel cells by being incorporated into proton-conducting membranes – crucial elements of fuel cell technology.
Fuel cells are devices that trigger a reaction of oxygen and hydrogen fuel, and convert chemical energy into electricity with only water as a byproduct.
These are already used in some electric cars, but currently they’re not as efficient as they need to be to replace fossil fuels.
The major issue is that the fuels leaks across the existing proton membranes, effectively poisoning the process and making the fuel cell less effective – something that the researchers have now shown could be overcome by using impermeable graphene.
Even more excitingly, the researchers found that the graphene membrane could actually be used to extract hydrogen straight from the atmosphere, which means it could be used to create mobile electric generators that are power by nothing more than hydrogen in air.
“Essentially, you pump your fuel from the atmosphere and get electricity out of it,” stated Geim. “Our study provides proof that this kind of device is possible.”
Obviously the research is in its very early stages, and we still need to learn more about how protons pass through graphene. It’s also not clear exactly how much electricity could be generated out of the tiny amounts of hydrogen that are present in the atmosphere. But it’s a fascinating discovery that could change the way we harvest electricity, and that’s pretty damn exciting.
