How did physics achieve great strides in Ancient India and China?

Physics is one awesome subject, isn't it? Let's not go deep into it for today....Right from the ancient time physics has been goto subject when it comes to something which fascinates the most! So, let's explore about "How did physics achieve great strides in Ancient India and China?" in today's post.

In the 6th century BC, an Indian philosopher named Kanada developed an atomic theory. The theory of dyads and triads, and the molecular theory of matter were also put forward in Ancient India. 

Ancient Indian philosophers were the first to suggest that light and sound travelled in waves, and they put forward the theories of reflection and refraction of light. One of them, they theorized that light itself was made up of small particles-now known as photons.

 Ancient India also made great contributions to astronomy. The Earth was assumed to be the centre of the Universe around which revolved the seven grahas or planets. Varahamihira and Aryabhatta were two of the great astronomers of Ancient India.

In China, Zhang Sui was a great astronomer who constructed new astronomical instruments in collaboration with Liang Lingzam in 724 AD. In 1045, Chinese astronomers sighted the Crab Nebula, and in 1280, Kuo Shou-Ching another great astronomer, introduced improved astronomical instruments.

The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus.

Seriously, Physics has become my favourite subject...and I made up my mind to make more on physics!
