STEM | Time & Space
In Indic Civilizations - the word 'KALA' which means both TIME and SPACE! The term space-time stands for the meaning that the space and time are not two separate entities but are the manifestation of a single entity. This collection is inspired by Indian ideas of the early Purana/Mahabharata times (centuries BC) on the nature of space, time and consciousness that would be of interest to the physicist and the philosopher alike.
Indian understanding of physics was informed not only by astronomy and terrestrial experiments but also by speculative thought and by meditations on the nature of consciousness! The detailed concept of time - much smaller than a second (10^-6 of a second) to the age of the Universe was expressed with specific Sanskrit words. A Day and a Year were finely divided, to express several aspects of those durations! We present these in a simple and fun way, to remind us of the depth of Indic thought on this basic of scientific and philosophical thought!
