印度物理学:早期历史纲要

Indian Physics: Outline of Early History

Subhash Kak

摘要:

科学史学家通常不知道印度对物理学的贡献。其主要原因是,在最近的过去,很少有关于这个问题的研究,这是印度大学里科学史系很少的结果。本文的目的是对印度早期物理学物理学史作一个初步的概述。讨论了对原子论和宇宙学的一般原理感兴趣的毗舍什卡和Samkhya学派。特别是,原子和分子的想法,声音的性质,因果关系,共性,宇宙学,均匀和非均匀运动的描述。

英文摘要:

Historians of science are generally unaware of the contributions of India to physics. The main reason for this is that very little research has been done on the subject in the recent past, a consequence of the fact that there are few history of science departments in Indian universities. The objective of this paper is to present a preliminary outline of early history of physics in India. The schools of Vaisheshika and Samkhya, that were interested in general principles of atomic theory and cosmology, are discussed. In particular, ideas on atoms and molecules, the nature of sound, causality, universals, cosmology, uniform and non-uniform motions are described.
