Scientific Secrets of Jainism
After coming to India, he supported compaign for imparting scientific education through the mother-tongue. On this point, he shared the same view with Rabindranath Tagore and Svāmi Vivekanand.
Recently, two years ago, the birth century of Bose was celebrated and life and works were commemorated and eulogised. Dr P. C. Vaidya
Dr Vaidya is a professor of mathematics but his field of research is physics. The general theory of relativity is his favourite subject. His research work in this field is matchless and rare.
When Einstein discovered his Theory of Special Relativity in 1905 A. D. He was only 26 but, when Dr Vaidya presented his research paper on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity in 1942 A. D., he was only 24. Recently I happened to see Dr J. Krishna Rao, Head of Mathematics Department of Bhavnagar University. Dr J. Krishna Rao is also a student of Dr P. C. Vaidya. Under the guidance of Dr P. C. Vaidya, he did his research work from 1961 A. D. to 1963 A.D. . Dr Vaidya's professor, Dr Vishnu Vasudeva Narlikar was his professor, too. Since preceding ten years, Dr Narlikar had been pondering on the research work which Dr Vaidya did only in nine months. The thought occured to Dr Vaidya and within a week, he completed his research work. His research paper was only half page long. But in it, he solved one of the two problems that had been confusing Einstein.
In 1915 A.D. Einstein gave a new theory of gravitational force. In order to determine the definite motion of planets according to the new theory, it was necessary to know the gravitational force of the Sun. In the year in which Einstein gave the Relativity Theory i. e. in 1915 A. D., the scientist named Schwarzschild got a solution to Einstein's equations which could determine the gravitational force of the Sun. But this solution regarded the Sun as a cool star. Naturally, therefore, he had not taken into account light-heat and energy. Now the subject for the research suggested by Dr V. V. Narlikar dealt with finding the solution to Einstein's equations based on the contention that the Sun is a radiating star. In the solution given by Schwarzschild treated the Sun as a cool object. Naturally, its mass was considered to be constant. Since mass was thought to be constant, the calculation was very simple. But it was not definite/real. Since in Dr Vaidya's research regarded
