passionate-freak Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks for the details. But it's been told thousands of years ago in Rigveda, it claims there are 147, Among 7 colored sun-rays, each consists 21 each. And it tells that using sun-rays in a proper manner any matter/element can be transformed into any. It's exactly on what Albert Einstein was working. The spectrum of knowledge is vast...full of mystery which, I'm afraid, modern science never could explore. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
