Abstract

This research paper explores the intersection and relation of ancient Hindu scriptures and modern scientific fictional theories used in various modern literature as a source of entertainment. The research paper uses different aspects of Hindu culture such as the Gita, Puranas, Vedas, Upanishadas, and various other sources to prove so-called fictional concepts such as multiverse theory, extra-terrestrial life, time travel, time dilation. aims to uncover whether these ideas were mythological metaphors or evidence of advanced ancient knowledge. We would compare these descriptions with contemporary scientific theories, highlighting the surprising harmony between the two. Through this exploration, the research seeks to bridge the perceived gap between spirituality and scientific imagination.
