I remember once reading a claim in this newsgroup to the effect that some Hindu scriptures contained an anticipation of the discovery of the Big Bang. Exactly what was it? I know that there are those who connect Quantum Mechanics with Eastern philosophies, but I'm not impressed with the suppsed connection, because of lack of detail. I wonder what other claims have been made in this field? Claims of, say, anticipations of biological evolution, continental drift, the hierarchy of structure in the Universe, complete with size and time scales, and other such things. I'm not impressed with most such claimed anticipations, because there are usually lots of details that turn out not to match, but it would be interesting to see what people claim. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Loren Petrich, the Master Blaster: loren@sunlight.llnl.gov Since this nodename is not widely known, you may have to try: loren%sunlight.llnl.gov@star.stanford.edu
