Modern Physics and Vastushastra
Human beings and their dwellings in directly evident or in mystic ways are affected by the motion of the earth, and the microscopic as well as the macroscopic effects of the forces of gravitation and electromagnetism. Some points to be considered are;
gravitation and geomagnetism are the two forces which have direct influence on the animate and inanimate objects on this earth.
though there are attempts to incorporate short range force of repulsion in theory of relativity, gravitation is known to be a long range force of attraction and the magnetic effect involves forces of attraction as well as repulsion.
gravitational interactions, as per Einstein's theory of relativity, can be interpreted in terms of space-time geometry.
space-time is womb of hidden and manifest events.
man has no control over time factor, but for harmonious relationship with the cosmos, he can alter the space he lives in.
Vastushastra defines and shapes spaces for designing dwellings that are in harmony with nature, and are beneficial to the mind and body of the persons occupying these houses. 'Dik-kal' (dik=direction, kal=time) is the theme of Vastushastra. Space-time is its reflection in modern physics. Science has been part and parcel of Vastushastra analysis and studies.
