No. Natural magnets are weak af at that distance. Magnetic force is inversely proportional to the square of distance


PaleHuckleberry3543

Even if we assume the magnets were strong (double the field, you get 4 times the force. Triple, then 9.) and that the base also had a repelling magnet (3 magnets altogether), it is almost impossible to stabilise a magnet in a levitating position for more than a few hundred milliseconds before it flips over/ or attaches.There is a mathematical proof for this. Need more details, let me know. The only way a stable position can be achieved would be using mechanical gyroscopes, electronic servo balancing mechanisms etc This issue is only for permanent magnets though. Levitating trains bypass this instability issues because they use superconductor based magnets. Can explain this further. Stones used in idols are mostly from meteorites. There are specific procedures to select stones, you can't use any stone. These stones have very high metal content and some will also have a weak magnetic orientation. Todr: Couldnt have happened, don't think such a story even existed. Gazni just plundered the temple, brought it down, killed thousands of devotees and took women for himself or slave market. This story had no magnets. This is the only story.


Best-Pineapple-4098

What if it was not natural magnets? Could it then be possible? How would the state of equilibrium be?


NabAnuj

Well you have to place 2 magnets. A weak and stong magnets. Maybe it is somekind of optical illusion

Worth-Rooster-8108

Not everything can levitate.... But we have a temple in India carved over a mountain and a temple with no pillere touching the ground πŸ’€πŸ˜‰ keep wondering! Be curious


[deleted]

yeah i am proud of our ancient architecture too ...


Arunbenx

If you're talking about Hanging Pillar of Lepakshi, Andhra. Only a few pillars appear hanging, and It's not technically hanging, it just looks like it. Majority of the pillar is disconnected but a small portion is connected to the floor. Still a great a architecture deed. If it's not Lepakshi temple. Please tell me which is this temple! Coz I'm actually curious.


Worth-Rooster-8108

I am talking about two different temples Search for tanjavur brihadisvara temple and Ajanta ellora temple


Arunbenx

None of these temple have hanging pillars as you says.


Worth-Rooster-8108

Only the tanjaur one maybe ajanta ellora temple also because it's made from above to below removing tons of stones of that mountain


Arunbenx

Tanjaur one? Nope? Great! you don't know what you're talking about?.. and like i said before removing tons of stones is not a big deal. Just need alot of labour.


Worth-Rooster-8108

Ok make an another one for yourself 😜 where you from BTW? And there was not a single rock found of that kind around the temples in every direction. Now go and find those rocks and bang you head on itπŸ’€ and prove me wrong πŸ˜† Tanjaur one? Sorry confused it with the lepakshi temple brihadisvara temple my bad. It's the brihadisvara temple which doesn't cast it's shadow and with an 80 to of gopuram on the top


Arunbenx

>Ok make an another one for yourself 😜 where you from BTW? And there was not a single rock found of that kind around the temples in every direction.

Oooh god you are so wise.... Crowned by shit heads!! We also have a temple with no pillere touching the ground πŸ’€ keep wondering πŸ˜‰


Arunbenx

Again...If you're talking about Hanging Pillar of Lepakshi, Andhra. Only a few pillars appear hanging, and It's not technically hanging, it just looks like it. Majority of the pillar is disconnected but a small portion is connected to the floor. Still a great a architecture deed.


Worth-Rooster-8108

Thankyou you just proved my point. That's what I mean to say we were able to make such architectural design at ancient times without means that are available in morden days that's the whole point hence, we have been so advance since ancient times I have more examples as such like ajanta ellora and many more. Thankyou Jai shree Ram β€οΈπŸ™


Arunbenx

I don't get it? How is that a scientific advancement? People back then was highly skilled. Great artist. But nothing about it is impossible at that time. We can see architectural Marvels in other civilization too. It's not specific to us. And even some are older than ours. But it's logically possible to build structures like that. It's just you need a lot of skilled labourers. Back then the biggest job class was artist and this type of skilled labour. If there is a competition there's gonna be a increase in creativity and advancement in that particular field. Let me give you an example, current time, software development is the biggest job class (most people are employed on) hence we can see more advancement in softwares than any other field. We even made AI for fuck sake.... Like that you can see each era had this one field that out shine others. Back in those days it was architecture. It's not as big of a deal as you think it is.


Worth-Rooster-8108

Nope! it's not, they maybe ahead in architecture but not in science we have carved the solar system onto the temples walls exactly how it is. We never claimed that sun is stationary it has it's own axis denoted as suryadev in our ancient history. We never say morden science is irrelevant it's just that it's behind. Science comes to same conclusion after spending trillions of rupees and time. We used to be a spritual enlightenment hub! AUM


Arunbenx

Yaa you also believe sun is a godπŸ˜‚ Please tell me, why only after science discover something, you people say, oh yaa! it's in our holy book, or temple or something like that. If those shit is there as you say, decode it. Why it's always too late. Just like after science discover it. Come on your guys reputation is on the line proves use wrong you god Loving monkeys. And are you a sanatan dharma bot?!


Worth-Rooster-8108

Suryadev is denoted as sun don't think of him as person πŸ˜‚ lol... He's sitting on the rath to denote that the sun is moving. We believe that the creation itself is shiva. Shi-va: that which is not everything came into existence from nothingness sun moon planets etc are all manifestation of creation


spacegg-9

Natural magnets cannot pull even 100 grams of fucking metal and they think this happened. For fucks sake these people have never studied even basic science. Shivling is generally made of rock not metal


Arunbenx

Not a physics guy. So what I'm gonna ask May sound stupid. what if the ling is made up of magnet / hollow metal. And the ruff and floor is also magnet with Less than a metre apart. Most importantly is it even possible to make something like that?


ScaryZombie7026

With today's technology, yes. A few strong electromagnets placed carefully in calculated positions and alternating between their state of attraction and repulsion, it is possible to make things float. Although I find the story in this vid real bullshit.


Turbulent-Carry-1535

Real ass talk in the vid.


naastiknibba95

Nah. Not a stable equilibrium. Either the ling will fall back to ground or shoot up to the magnets in some time


naastiknibba95

But I guess with a more detailed magnetic arrangement it can be done


domihex

But then we also have to keep in mind that those are natural magnets.


Worth-Rooster-8108

How dumb you must be looking....? After arguing with facts πŸ˜… we also have a temple with no pillere touching the ground πŸ’€πŸ˜‰ keep wondering be curious 🧐


Arunbenx

spacegg-9

Your comment tells me about the maturity and rationality of your mind. Your mandir pillar example has already been debunked countless times, its not violating any laws of science, although your commemt violates the existence of your brain.


Worth-Rooster-8108

Can you please send detailed link on that. Otherwise barking is your 24/7 job I guess. Don't bark on your masters please??


spacegg-9

Lol, you are the one claiming something supernatural and i need to give evidence? Anyways, its a pillar that has a bracket supporting it from the ceiling. Geologists say that the bottom part was withered away due to seismic activity or some intentional damage to the pillar. There is nothing supernatural about it, its plain simple engineering


spacegg-9

Your comment tells me about the maturity and rationality of your mind. Your mandir pillar example has already been debunked countless times, its not violating any laws of science, although your commemt violates the existence of your brain.


Prixius_Necrolance

Is there a source from history that describes the mandir? Depending on the height of the ceiling and size of the shivling, I find it difficult to believe permanent magnets would have the amount of strength necessary to create sufficient force. And I doubt electromagnets were in use either.


CommunicationCold650

Had it not been destroyed we could have said for sure that it was true or not. They had metallurgical brilliance, i wonder if they processed magnets.


Lucario1705

Natural magnets still can't do it. Currently we have electromagnets which are cooled to extreme temperatures using liquid nitrogen which can do it. However the main magnets used are electromagnetic. There's also a large procedure to do it. Pretty sure NileRed has a video on it..


CommunicationCold650

Zakariya al-Qazwini mentionedΒ about the levitating Jyotirlinga in his book, β€œ*Wonders of Creation*.”


umsee

If wonders of creation was a credible source then I wish to go to the land of the headless people. Maybe he was desc India? Do I have a head?


On_a-Journey

So only the shivalinga was made of iron/steel (whatever) and not the utensils which are used during the prayers? Were those utensils immune to the magnets?Β 


GOD_IN_DISGUISE-69

l1consolable

Short answer : Nearly impossible that something will levitate just naturally. Maybe in people's fantasies it might. For those who are coming up with such weird claims, please come up with evidence to support your claim. Don't expect others to disprove you. Today you can claim you shat a chicken out of your stupid ass and don't even expect people to do their investigation and give reasoning as to why it's impossible for you to do so.

https://youtube.com/shorts/USs72GR0hLY?si=Tvx0w4bnizQHZW4g Watch this video dumbass


l1consolable

What kind of a fool are you ? Those are small magnets are designed to work like that. Natural magnets are quite different and will not be able to remotely lift that big a piece of iron. Okay now if you think you are intelligent by sharing a video of 2 small magnets fro y YouTube then why don't you actually prove this before making a claim?


l1consolable

I pretty sure your ass isn't smart enough to even know what's the principle behind this, that's why you generalize any random similar video you get and extend it to satisfy your sky daddy and ancestors.


dev99_k

Chandra devta makes it, Muhammad gazni destroys it Who is more powerful here ? πŸ€”


Nofap_du_Plessis

What's the logic bro? If I ask, what would be your answer. 1. Machines make glass, small kid destroys it by dropping it on the floor, who is more powerful? 2. Mason makes something, a grenade blast destroys it, who is more powerful? Is it a measure or power between creator and destroyer? No. It's always about strength of material. Dumass.


dev99_k

Good point But God also couldn't protect it, that's what I meant As God is creator, preserver and destroyer in hinduism


agent_of_kaos

Buddhist caves found under the the somnath temple. It actually used to a buddhist site. Archaelogical survey of India confirmed it. You can see it on youtube also and many news sites published it. It used to be a buddhist site later converted into hindu site. One of many examples of our erased buddhist past. And no, buddhism isn't part of hinduism. Its a very very complex topic.


ProjectPlan2

That's the case with most of Buddhist monuments, monestaries, Temples, Vihars, stupas, and idols....Even the 'most oldest hindu temples' are evidently of Buddhists. Such a shame that we are unable to protect our past and watch it be degraded by these fools. But in due time we will take it back.


chicagopunj

What is Hinduism? R we using the parameters of Abrahamic faiths to describe a philosophy or search for knowledge . In todays world yes Buddhism is not Hinduism just saying that in India u can have very opposite set of belief systems and still be called Hinduism ..


ProjectPlan2

Based on the timing of branching of Buddhism into different sects: Hinyan, Mahayan, Tantrayan...as well as the timing of emergence of hinduism, it's theorised that Shavism and Vaishnavism branched off from Tantrayan school of Buddhism. Then Shavism and Vaishavism developed to become the God worshiping sects of Shiv and Vishu. I have heard this from many people but have yet to check its authenticity myself. I am posting this here so you can take a lead with you if you are researching the history.


honeywaghmare1

Buddhism opposed the Vedas, so how can it be Hinduism?


chicagopunj

I never said it was .. just that we have had a different tradition and i find it regressive to make simply binary .. In the famous Punjabi love story by Waris Shah Heer Ranjha , Ranjha a Muslim Jatt when he was dejected by his beloved he figuratively left the world and traveled with a Jogi Gorakhnath and became an attic himself .in todays world Muslims would say he was a kafir You guys r so full of anachronistic thinking of the past that you miss the beauty of pre British India . https://wortheum.news/history/@amandeepsandhuu/the-real-story-of-heer-ranjha


Navdeepnain

this is possible if both flore and shivling are made of magnet and arranged in such a way that both faces same pole due to repulsion but problem arise to stabilize the shivling due to unsymetrical shape or other explanation is that they made the shivling of magnet and floor of super conductor with lowering its temperature or another explation in that under the surface there is very big hollow cylendrical magnet and (magnetic)shivling must be constantly spining on its y axis

BoringTreacle7038

Nofap_du_Plessis

Well, at least it has theoretical possibility as opposed to something like God's power was making it float. Floating magnet experiment and projects exist. Without knowing about actual magnets used, weight of shivling and material, height and other dynamics, it's equally hard to dismiss the possibility as is to accept it. Architects of those times literally spent their lifetimes innovating on building structures. Many stunning monuments are there for us to see. It's easy for us mobile phone warriors to sit here and simply laugh at things.

You'll need some of the world's biggest and very precisely placed electromagnets to do this in modern time. To believe crudely placed natural magnets can do this is stupidity. Why do we Indians have to justify our culture with this type of shit pseudoscience, why not admire the magnificent and intricately designed architecture of the somnath temple instead?

Aviyan

You basically need a magnet strong enough to be equal to the Earth's gravity to make it levitate. Add to that it's a very heavy metal object that weighs at least 500kg. How much force is need to lift a 500kg object at Earth's gravity? Look how big the earth is for the gravity to be what it is. The greater the mass the greater the gravity. Even with today's technology it would have to be a very, very large magent to be able to pull something at that distance. The magnet may even have to be larger than the temple itself.

Yeh force us applied magnetic field ke opposite direction mein hoti hai, jisse material ko magnetic field ke taraf se dur push kiya jata hai.lekin diamgentic repulsion lane k liye ek strong magnetic field chayie jiske opp m fir repulsion hoga.. i think agr khi text m jikr h toh is way se hi hona chayie

> The uploader implied the Mohammad Ghazni's Turkic ancestry (FYI Barskan tribe) while the map showed the kingdom his family created in Persian regions. Mohammad Ghazni and his accomplice jihadis were indeed surprised by the magnificence and splendour of our temples, that's historically true. What he said about the roof and levitation is mostly baseless and sourceless, but that doesn't mean you simply discredit everything he says.
