DOES THE EARTH REALLY ROTATE?
How miraculous Nature is! It is not at all easy to probe into its mysteries. Its secrets have remained unfathomable. As human intelligence dives deeper and deeper into those mysteries with the help of science, it gets more and more to know of newer and newer things.
Let us take an example of the planetary system. How incomprehensible it is! Human intelligence tries to understand its technique, and yet its so far unrevealed secrets disclose themselves.
Modern scientists have been constantly trying to solve one very momentous problem. The Problem is: "Does the earth rotate or the Sun ? And what is the shape of the earth?”
Some of the scientists have come to conclude that the earth is round and it revolves around the Sun. But they are unaware of the eternal truth cited by the scriptures of India and other countries that the earth is not round, and the Sun revloves around it.
BELIEFS OF MODERN SCIENTISTS:
Modern scientists have come to conclude that the earth has cir.cular motion of three sorts:
1, its rotation on its axis,
2, its going around the Sun,
3, planets revolving in their orbits, with their satellites, around and with the Sun.
Learned persons of India have supported the abovementioned theory; as a result of which it is being firmly established that
"The earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night in 24 hours and take a year to go round the Sun".
Most of the scientists to-day carry on their research work beliving the rotation of the earth to be a fact.
