Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Errors and Logical Fallacies [RE-UPLOAD] 

"You can literally find anything in scriptures but the only drawback is that you have to wait for Modern Science to discover it" ~Pranav Bhaia Literally this statement hit my brain when I realized how people were claiming about corona virus being mentioned in their holy books. 💀

Being a physics undergrad, I really would like to see these "professors" educational qualifications. People like them shouldn't be part of our scientific community, looking for validation, justifying some sort of superiority over the west.

It's so great to see your channel growing on this scale. Congratulations 🎉 Always eagerly waiting for your new uploads .

Your channel is what I needed on RU-vid. Whenever I got into an argument with my folks on the topics of religion. They would use a fallacy to discredit my points or say they are in the scriptures. Since did not have the info about tye scriptures to argue. I couldn't say anything. Thanks for the info

why are they so few youtubers against so many uneducated people promoting pseudoscience. but the youth needs more people like you to develop rational thinking and questioning. Great job

You're a treasure for scientific community in india love your work

Chapters: 00:00 - Why am I reuploading? 00:59 - Actual Video Starts 02:51 - Schrodinger’s Quote 04:29 - Age of the Universe 07:45 - Newton’s Laws vs. Kanad Samhita 10:16 - Concept of Zero 11:41 - Does Matter Exist? 14:17 - Where did the Universe Begin? 15:18 - Dark Matter and Dark Energy 16:17 - Time Dilation 17:54 - Science in this Country

9:40 I disagree on this point. The politics has a huge amount of influence of science, since scientific knowledge requires funding in order to be able to discover or invent. That is why golden ages of different empires never coincided. We would have never gained so much scientific knowledge had Europe's middle age feudalism had stayed in place rather than being supplanted by enlightenment values.

So proud of Dhruv, your channel not growing exponentially would be crime that all humans together commit! Can you provide link to his post? I can't happen to find it!!

Your channel has changed my mindset towards my religion, alternative medicine and way to think! I hope i'm becoming rational now! Thank you for this content/eye-openers !

ravi shanker: this is an avengers level threat.

The only thing why I appreciate philosophy part of vedas is cuz of nāsadīya Sūkta part where they say they might be wrong or they donno what exactly is the origin of universe. This acceptance of ignorance is quite appreciatable.

I'm falling in love with science when I get to see professors like you 💕 love from Pakistan

Hats off to your perseverance and constant endeavor for separating false from truth!!.. You don't give up

Ravi Shankar runs a huge marketing company, who whitewashes irrrational people with these logical fallacies, appoints them as marketing executives which are mostly from elite class (very useful for their money) to fool average people. Most of these marketing people are from top institutes (I am from a top engineering institute in india and have known examples of this), doctors, well known personalities, NRIs, etc. as they work perfectly as educated brand ambassadors to promote their brand and fool average people.

Planning for Iisc banglore hope I will get admission🤞 Science is really 🤟🏻

We have more gems like Rajeev Malhotra,Nityananda and Deepak Chopra.

Was waiting for this re-upload, Thank you. Lot of ancient dust accumulated in the minds here and we need people like you!!

Sir your videos are an eye opener for several people and harsh truth for the people who blindly follow such people. You have my respect sir

Pranav, Your last section about the state of science education in our country is very accurate. I went to an IIT, and on two different occasions a friend has said "We've passed JEE now, why are you reading about science?"

We are with you..on Science...🙌

This channel is some rationality and sense in the sea of stupidity. Keep up the good work!!

See this ASAP. Before this gets taken down by those losers

"You can literally find anything in scriptures but the only drawback is that you have to wait for Modern science to discover it" That was awesome.

Just discovered your channel, glad to find one promoting rationality and healthy skepticism in an Indian context. One video Id like you to make is about "animal telepathic communication", where apparently experts telepathically communicate with your pets (or even random animals) to understand their needs/wants/desires. This has surprisingly flown under the radar, and even otherwise rational folks in my circle are completely unquestioning about this practice which doesn't have any scientific merit or evidence (ancedotes don't count).

What happened to the first re-upload?

Thank you, Pranav! The country and the world need more rational people like you. Keep up the great work!

Just started watching Your videos, they are well researched, i'm subscribed, hoping for more great videos in future

I still don't get why this bloke has an extra Sri? Does one Sri cancel the other Sri out? is he playing games with us?

"When country was facing so many challenges, science takes a backseat" On the contrary, necessity is the mother of invention and I feel that these are the times when science actually takes the front seat in order to solve these problems. Thank you for your videos and helping people develop the scientific temperament that is currently lacking so much in our society.

Please Keep uploading videos like these So satisfying ✨

Great debunk sir ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A valid point bro. If it’s already written, why wait till science discovers it.?

Also, please have an online conversation/podcast with Prakhar ke Pravachan, it would be a really interesting one. He has also criticised Sadhguru's, Ranveer's ideas and has talked with Acharya Prashant and the Chanakya ambassador(forgot his name) so would be a very interesting talk to listen.

Great content. Love your delivery.

Loved your point of view.

Visited the channel for the first time ..Was just going through your playlist... each video topic is just what i had wished for... all these nutcases have been increasingly affecting minds with their new age stupidity and fuelling superstitions in all those half baked ill programmed minds of some millenials who have been educated by our flawed, employment centric and sanskar-oriented education system which is based on an unquestioning obedience and docility to even stupider "guru"... thank you for taking effort to do this great work... i am sure you will face huge opposition, trolling in future from many of zombied minds... but may you get all the strength to keep up the hugely important work.... Would like to dedicate George Orwell's words to your work... "In the time of universal deceit, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act!"

You deserve so much more viewership. Love the content and the style 👌

keep doing the good work.lots of support

Thankyou for educating us❤️🙏

Yesterday I found one of your video and really I was looking for something like this on RU-vid.... I am an IIT Graduate and a data scientist... So much scam is going on in the name of religion and spirituality... Keep doing great 😃

I am second division in 12 second division in engineering but never forward WhatsApp message on Covid home treatment neither believes in God, Soul or Rebirth because I still believe in science. I neither forward toxic WhatsApp message favoring any political party or ideology send by friends and relatives. Infact I have left most of such group.

The last thing u mentioned is exactly the case with me. Luv ur channel bro....❤️

I'm so glad I found and joined, this channel.

It is sad that the people who do not have scientific temper themselves are lamenting on the lack of scientific temper in the country.

You forgot to mention Ravi bhais new discovery , Astralay (Australian) during mahabharat times .. 🤣

Thank God, I found this channel 🙌

Yay....way to go bro , science will prevail...

You do great work and deserve all support

Schrodinger was not only interested in Ancient India. He also did a series of lectures on ancient Greeks. The book is Available on Amazon. Neils Bohr Personal insignia was inspired by ancient Chinese Yin Yang. Leibniz was a self-proclaimed Sinophile. But hey every other civilisation other than Hindu is unscientific 😂

I would love to witness your growth all the way up 🤩🤩🤩 keep going

Another great video bro, keep it up👍.

Kudos to all your efforts - and for Keeping things so moderate, simple, and crisp. Yes, all cultures had great intellectual geniuses but some or the other way dumb too - it should never be for cultural superiority. We want to learn about the world as it is and not as we want it to be! Nailed it - a pure self-serving bias that needs to be addressed at the high school level. Unfortunately - no one is addressing about it and even some of educated people do not have any idea about self-serving bias, hindsight biases, and cognitive biases. Science is just for jobs and to get salaries - that is one of our great limitations as a society - Science for salaries and spirituality for passion!

What you are doing is dope. You are a hero man. Love you.

Keep up the great work. Let scientific spirit flourish.

Thank you rohan / normies for introducing me to this great channel

Just loved ur video . Don't worry upload as many times as u want we will always support u

From religion comes a man's purpose; from science, his power to achieve it. Sometimes people ask if religion and science are not opposed to one another. They are: in the sense that the thumb and fingers of my hands are opposed to one another. It is an opposition by means of which anything can be grasped. - Sir William Bragg

I think clock in ISS runs slightly slower with respect to the clock in earth due to very high relative velocity of ISS.. not due to less gravity.

You are doing a great job by calling this people out. Keep up the good work.

Your videos are really good and have really great points, I really want India to be more scientific, you are really doing a great job in that

Same sir I am also from Dhruv rathee but I am so amazed you from 1k have so much high quality research and quality.So sad why aren’t you growing in millions appreciate it sir.I am daily binge watching all the vids from the videos also.Rohan Cariappa who also reacted to your video on his second channel “not funny Rohan” where he appreciated your work and said you video are chill and enlighting.

Love your understanding and presentation...

Thanks for your efforts

Wouldn't it be cool if one of these Godmen found the cure for cancer, or the key to the grand unifying theory in their ancient texts, instead of always claiming credit retroactively? Despite having all of the secrets and answers, these magical texts have not once been useful for scientific advancements.

Firstly I want to say thank you bcz u r doing great job ur video I saw in recommendation back 2-3 day n dam ur points are so valid infact I also think same thing while watching many so called famous youtuber same question as I have read 11-12 from science stream n I thought kya yrrr mera pdhai bekar tha kya ?? Infact I am follower of Krishna bcz I alwz think that there is a power beyond science....I don't know whether it's fictional or what but I believe in every situation I feel so postive...the knowledge of him ..but. That doesn't mean ki western sb bekar h ..no kuch drawback vha bhi h kuch apne me bhi h. .. without any proof all say ye tha tha ...n our young generation is so active on RU-vid what mindset we are giving+ due to corona increase in time of RU-vid we all know....ek bcha ke samne itna confidence se bolo to sch hi manega...u r doing just fab for young generation.

I'm so glad I find you ❤️

Absolutely love what you're doing with this channel! More power to you! On the point of equating matter with vibrations, I think they're talking about matter essentially being energy, which is accepted by the scientific community (QFT et al). Of course, it's still quite evident they're trying to stretch and conflate and use hindsight bias to prove a point.

Kanad 's 3rd law F(AB)-F(AB)=0 Newton's third law F(AB)=-F(BA) Now found something similar?

For safety i downloaded this video this time😂. Got frustrated when it was taken down last time

Excellent effort bro.. Love🙂♥️

@9:45 - when nation faces challenges , such as security , food , disease etc science is the only one which will jump forward and provide solutions e.g. covid

Science is fun and flexible. It learns by its own mistakes.

Love your attitude. Knowledge is not a competition- mine superior to yours. It is a collective effort by humanity to figure it out. I am sure the sages of that era would have said the same & respected each other. That is what wise men do. Ignorant shallow minds try to gloat in some great achievements of human intellect of the past as if it is to their credit. While what they are doing is contrary to all wisdom. Just a compensation for their inferiority complex from their present.

So much thanks for pranav for ur channel....I looking for content who teach science and debunk these so called pesudo science in humaric manner so people understand easily....great work da carry on

A true gem channel 💎 which indian really need to see

Ravi Shankar be like...hey Elon Musk , 'come here'.. leave your spacex ...i will tell you all about mars and even black hole 😂😂😂😂

11:00 this is the exact point I wanted to make people understand... This summerizes the whole Biasness towards Ancient cultures.. They are good at their time with their small resources/ infrastructure .. but time has changed.. we have to upgrade ourselves..

Becoming addicted to the way you speak.😘

@scienceisdope Hey, I can't find your business email anywhere. It's not there in your channel description or anywhere else on the internet. Would you please be kind enough to share it here?

yes yes..... definitely i found your channel from dhruv rathee..... very grateful for finding this... nowdays I am recommending this channel to others... the only problem is that that only few of my freiends knows english up to the mark that they can understand this video..

1. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is different from Sadhguru, totally different 2. He never speaks or relate science with spirituality , and the moto is always clear i.e Yoga , meditation. 3. He might have said in some talk of his discussion with some scientists who attend his program 4. But that does not mean he tried to mix science with it , his programs are genuine yoga programs any body can attend. 5. He teaches meditation and yoga n runs an NGO. without using science but people want to hear so he sometimes tells his discussion. 6. You research on what he said in some few videos but not on him much

Keep goinnn brotherr!!

Hi Pranab, Thanks a lot for making such great videos. Your fight for reason is remarkable in this time of untruth & irrationality. Also, unlike other proponents of rational thinking, your patient and nonaggressive approach is unique and helpful in conveying the message. I am a theoretical physicist, but I can vouch that you can explain things better than professional scientists. Kudos to you!

Ok man, this is a really good channel, I'll give it to you! I usually watch a couple of videos to really understand and trust a creator (especially on these topics, because if you turned out to be another pseudoscience channel, I eould have had it) and I can confidently say that this is an amazing channel and wish more young people watched it instead of idiots like beer biceps

Love your channel 💟 Became a new member today.. hoping for great videos from your side Because science is dope and there is a lot to explore 🤗

Nice work. Need of the hour

Hey Pranav! I commented a lot and in discord recently for you to address this "Age of the universe acc. to hinduism", glad to find it being addressed here. What really does fascinates me that even being wrong by a WIDE margin from the actual age of the universe, it is more than commendable to think that people of those times were able to think at those SCALES of numbers. No doubt it probably is just another throwaway guess, but having thought of the scale is something to think about. What do you think is the reason for estimation?

Very rational arguments. Here are my thoughts, some might not fully agree with yours. The scriptures I think, follow a top down approach, simply because the derivation of that particular logic is lost in time. Take for instance the Ka ta Pa ya Di sankhya, which provides the value of pie. I am an avid watcher of the Veritasium channel. Do watch the video - ' Math has a fa flaw'. The example for set theory, sounds eerily similar to the shanti mantra. I think Science and humanity is rediscovering things which was already discovered or rather trying to formulate things which can be proved or observed in nature whithin the realms of physical laws. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith to understand things which is beyond normal understanding. What looks scientific now was magical/fictional earlier. For instance planes/smart phones. Similarly what looks illogical now could have been scientific earlier. Just because we don't know how to prove something doesn't mean the thing or phenomena doesn't exist. For example the biggest miracle of nature is the anomalous behaviour of water (Density of ice being lower than water). The more you know the more it gets confusing. Try explaining quantum mechanics to a person who is not from science background, He'll find it gibberish. It all come down to perspective, how one looks at a particular idea. An open mind and analogy opens up possibilities for understanding things which might be scientifically complex but not easily relatable. Illogical analogies helps us to understand a difficult concept. Don't get hung up on the example, but try to look at the point one is trying to make. I love science, that's what makes one open to ideas. Science is all about experimenting, that's what the ancients from different civilizations did. I think the Indian civilization was pretty advanced for its time, because even in this day and age of scientific advancements, people are trying to debate/quote/rationalise/disprove it, which itself speaks volumes of its inherent knowledge within. The point is if it were so illogical it would not have stood the test of time. Illogical concepts do not pass the test of time. There is an element of truth in every thing all we need is an eye and an open mind to see it. The concept of time dilation is also explained in the story of King Muchukand and Kalyavan (Story of Shri Krishna). The concept of multiverses is touched upon in Shri Krishna's childhood story (Destroying Bhramha's ego). The concept of self replication is explained in Rakhtbeej vs maa Durga. One finds knowledge where he wants to see it. Just like one prove or disprove anything. There is no such thing as right or wrong it all depends on perspective, level of knowledge which one holds at that point of time. Galileo was killed for saying that the earth was round, and that the solar system was Heliocentric and not Geo-centric.Another example of thing which was laughed at earlier is now common knowledge.

I found your channel just 4days back and your subscriber base grew by 3.2k since then. So exciting! If you improve your upload frequency it'll help you with the algorithms and patreon both. In any case, Thanks for doing what you do!

I watch Dhruv too that is why I think RU-vid recommend your video and am glad it did... Like your tone and the systematic way to explain good job

You speak my heart bro

You are great..sir science is about logical solutions not superficial solace spread by gurus like this who sell belief

Hey, taking mind inward does not mean only introspection. It also is an aspect of meditation.The ancient rishis have told many truth about universe due to meditation.Hence reference of going inwards helps to know of outer world.Not introspection dude. Meditation is different from introspection! Maybe u need to listen to him from space of understanding rather just picking words to point out mistake n making ur own interpretation n story in ur head.Also if u have doubts, u can definitely meet Him up n ask questions physically, He will clear all ur doubts!!

I hope your words reach each n every corner of world and importantly to the ones who sit and judge science with scriptures or any other religious books.

Keep growing brother.

Please record text with different voice and upload instead of only text

Astralay become Australia 😂

excellent criticism of sri sri. I fully appreciate how much detail u put in your criticism of ravi shankar's statements, without ever attacking him personally. U are a very mature critic & I find a lot of so called "rationalists" dont have your maturity. The only thing we cannot be sure of is : how much of an impact the invaders had on wiping out our scientific knowledge. Its very difficult to assess it today . it may or may not be true & i dont think ravi shankar provokes anyone towards extremism. it may just be his opinion. The state of indian science education is well mentioned. I am one of those people who learnt & appreciated science INSPITE of my science education. seriously, almost everyone from family to teachers tried their best to destroy my passion for learning : the same way u mentioned " its just for a job, etc , what is the use of passion ? it wont get u a job etc etc. its our cultural blindspot & lot of effort is needed to change it.

The tools used for scientific discoveries are limited whereas the reality is unlimited/infinite. Who decided the means, ways, or experiments for these discoveries? The claims made from other methods apart from those agreed by the "scientific community", are they scientific or not? Who decides what's scientific and which is not? Who decides whether meditation is scientific or not? Who decides whether introspection is scientific or not? Who decides physics is science and how much of physics is in science? What is the boundary between physics and other fields of science?
