Ancient Indian Physics

The knowledge of Physics was closely linked with religion that recognized many types of atoms and elements. In later period, some Buddhists school of thought conceived atom as the minutes object capable of occupying space in  fastest duration of time, coming into being and vanishing, almost in an instant, only to be succeeded by another atom caused by the first.

The Vaisesika School believed a single atom to be a point in space completely without magnitude. Further, most of the schools believed that atoms constitute molecules.
