Who among the following in Ancient India made some prominent discoveries in Physics?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Kanada
Kanada (also called Kashyapa) was the ancient Indian thinker who founded the Vaisheshika school of philosophy. He taught that all matter is made of tiny, indivisible and eternal particles called paramanu (atoms), which join to form larger substances. This idea of atoms, put forward many centuries before modern science, makes him the ancient Indian name linked with physics.
