Part I General
Q. !hat is your principle "r Archimedes#
Archimedes$ Dont call me Dr rc!ime"es# as $$%5 years be&ore t!ere 'as no (!D "egree.
ccor"ing to my principle
)'!en bo"y is immerse" in &l*i" +'ater, # its 'eig!t "ecreases . -!e "ecrease in 'eig!t
is eq*al to 'eig!t o& t!e 'ater "isplace" by bo"y &rom t!e pot..
Many people /ne' be&ore me t!at 'eig!t o& bo"y "ecreases in 'ater b*t 0 'ent a step a !ig!er.
0 "etermine" "ecrease in 'eig!t o& bo"y in me"i*m. 0n *ni1erse it is my principle '!ic! is
e2isting in science as s*c! i.e. *nc*t or *nmo"i&ie". 0t is t!e ol"est establis!e" principle o&
science i.e. $$%5 years ol".
Q2. !hen mathematical e%uations were derived on the basis o& your principle#
Archimedes$ 0n 1%83 in t!e (rincipia 4e'ton "e&ine" acceleration "*e to gra1ity# g. -!*s a&ter
1953 +1%836$50, years mat!ematical eq*ations became &easible on my principle. -!en
eq*ations 'ere 'ritten &or 'eig!t an" *pt!r*st. -!e eq*ations '!ic! are "isc*sse" no'
became &easible a&ter 5$3 years +$01471%83,. 4one o& t!e scientists "isc*sse" it completely# as
it s!o*l" !a1e "one. 0n t!e eq*ations t!e 89:;ME o& bo"y is consi"ere"# not <=(E o& bo"y.
>or same 1ol*me bo"y may !a1e any s!ape.
Q'. (an a principle be )usti&ied without mathematical e%uation#
Archimedes$ 4o ne1er. -!eoretical pre"ictions are ma"e on t!e basis o& mat!ematical
eq*ations# t!ese are e2perimentally teste". 0& t!eoretical pre"ictions are &o*n" to be correct#
t!en la' is regar"e" as correct. -!e principle cannot be j*sti&ie" 'it!o*t mat!ematical
eq*ations.
Part II *imitations o& Archimedes principle.
Q +. !hat is condition o& &loatation according to your principle#
Archimedes$ -!e bo"y &loats '!en "o'n'ar" 'eig!t# becomes eq*al to *p'ar" t!r*st. >or
simplicity "ensity o& bo"y m*st be eq*al to "ensity o& me"i*m +'ater,. -!e <=(E o& bo"y !as
no role to play# only 1ol*me o& bo"y is consi"ere" in t!e principle.
Q5. "oes the ,-AP. o& body has any role to play in &loating bodies according to your
principle#
Archimedes$ ccor"ing to mat!ematical eq*ations in case o& &loating bo"ies# only "ensity o&
bo"y an" "ensity o& me"i*m are signi&icant. -!*s t!e <=(E o& bo"y +sp!erical# *mbrella
s!ape"# &lat# t'iste"# long pipe s!ape" etc., !as no role to play at all# it is pre"iction o& my
principle. My principle "oes not acco*nt &or t!e <=(E o& bo"y# it is t!e ?0@@E<- limitation.
-!e principle only ta/es in acco*nt 89:;ME o& bo"y '!ic! can !a1e "i&&erent s!apes# it is
signi&icant in application o& t!e principle.
Q 6 /our principle does not ta0e in account ,-AP. o& &loating bodies. ,o it is limitation
o& the principle. !hy did you not con&irm it#
$
Archimedes$ -!ere are t'o reasons &or t!is.
+i, >irstly in my "ays t!ere 'ere no mat!ematical eq*ations as 4e'ton "e&ine" t!e la' o&
gra1itation a&ter 1953 years +1%836$50,. -!*s principle 'as *n"erstoo" q*alitati1ely only.
+ii, lso e2perimental &acilities to con"*ct e2periments 'ere cip!er in my "ays. <o t!e e&&ect o&
<=(E o& bo"y m*st be c!ec/e" no'. A!y "ont scientists c!ec/ it +in case o& in"epen"ently
&loating bo"ies, . 4o' scientists claim 'e are going to lan" on mars soon an" "e1elop ne'
ci1iliBations. 0 # rc!ime"es also 'ant to /no' t!e *ltimate tr*t!. -!ere are co*ntries li/e ;<#
E4@:4D# >C4DE# 04D0E t!ey !a1e e2cellent &acilities to con"*ct s*c! e2periments. -!e
e&&ect o& <=(E o& bo"y on "ynamics an" statics can be c!ec/e". ccor"ing to mat!ematical
eq*ations base" on t!e principle only 89:;ME o& bo"y is signi&icant not <=(E o& bo"y.
Q 1 /our principle does not ta0e in account the ,-AP. o& rising and &alling bodies. ,o it
is limitation o& the principle. !hy did you not con&irm it#
Archimedes$ Aell# initially 0 ga1e t!e principle &or &in"ing o*t "ecrease in mass +'!en bo"y is
immerse" in &l*i",. 0t 'as j*st int*ition. 9n t!e basis o& mat!ematical eq*ations o& my principle#
t!e <=(E o& bo"y !as no role to play# in case o& rising an" &alling bo"ies. 9n t!e ot!er !an" a
sp!erical particle o& 1 gm &alls q*ic/ly t!an a &lat or "istorte" bo"y. <imilar is tr*e &or rising cor/
in 'ater. -!e s!ape o& bo"y is insigni&icant in &loating bo"ies mat!ematically# b*t e2perimentally
it is signi&icant. 0 "i" not "e1elop mat!ematical eq*ations &or t!e principle. 0 "i" not !a1e &acilities
to con"*ct e2periments.
Q 2 3nder some &easible conditions your principle4 predicts that volume o& material &illed
in balloon becomes indeterminate 567684 which is M.A9I9G*.,,.
Archimedes$ s 0 tol" yo* t!at 0 !a" gi1en t!e principle as a statement in $50 ?D. -!en
4e'ton p*blis!e" t!e (rincipia in 1%85 an" "e&ine" acceleration "*e to gra1ity +g,# t!en ga1e
my principle a mat!ematical basis.
-!*s my principle remaine" 'it!o*t mat!ematical eq*ations &or 1953 years o& its
en*nciation. 4o' mat!ematical eq*ations are e2isting since past 5$3 years +$01471%83, an"
interprete" by jay <!arma. 0t 'as not possible in my time. 4o' jay <!arma !as pri1ilege o&
mat!ematical eq*ation. <o !e !a" "ra'n correct eq*ations in t!e researc! papers an" boo/
:eyond 9ewton and Archimedes. -!e 1ol*me can ne1er be ;4DE>04ED or
04DE-ECM04-E +0F0, i.e. 8G8# t!e limitation is limitation. <cience is "ynamic not static.
Q ; According to your principle a steel needle &alls down in air as it is denser than air.
:ut an aeroplane rises in air and moves. :oth the plane and needle have same densities.
Archimedes $ irplanes 'ere not "isco1ere" in my time so 0 "i" not t!in/ abo*t# t!e
comparati1e motion o& steel nee"le an" aeroplane. My principle implies t!at !ea1ier +"enser,
bo"y m*st &all in lig!ter me"i*m. <o bot! m*st &all "o'n.
Q ,o do you admit limitations o& applications o& your principle#
Archimedes$ 0 'ill be t!e &irst person to accept limitations o& my principle i& t!ese are really
t!ere. 0 "i" not gi1e t!e t!eory &or e2plaining rising# &alling an" &loating bo"ies. 0 ne1er "isc*sse"
t!e e&&ect o& <=(E# as s*c! eq*ations 'ere not a1ailable. -!ese eq*ations "o not contain any
&actor '!ic! may acco*nt &or <=(E o& bo"y. -!ese are its applications. 0 "ont see in any
5
library o& t!e 'orl" t!at my original !an"'ritten 'or/s s*r1i1es. <cientists !a1e interprete" my
'or/ as t!ey got it &rom 1ario*s so*rces.
Q 2 in his research papers and <boo0 beyond 9ewton and Archimedes=4 the critic A)ay
,harma has e>tended your principle and its applications#
Archimedes$ Dont call jay <!arma my critic# b*t !e is my great a"mirer# 0 !a1e seen in past
t'o t!o*san" years. =e !as &earlessly elaborate" my principle to its &*llest e2tent. 0 co*l" not
"o so "*e to lac/ o& mat!ematical eq*ations. 4ormally scientists e2plain t!e principle at
preliminary stage an" mo1e a!ea". -!ey t!in/ my 'is"om is in&inite b*t it is not so as 0 am also
!*man being. =e !as seen t!e principle in mo"ern conte2t '!ic! 'as impossible in my time.
A!y ot!ers are not "oing so. =a" 0 been ali1e at t!is moment 0 'o*l" !a1e "one t!e same. <o
!e is 'or/ing &or me an" "oing t!e rig!t t!ing.
Part III Generali?ed principle and &uture
Q ' @hus your principle is modi&ied to get correct results . @he principle4 applications
and related7e>tended applications are described in boo0 A:eyond 9ewton and
ArchimedesB in chapters +C6 @he generali?ed principle is
HHH..)'!en bo"y is immerse" in &l*i" +'ater, # its 'eig!t "ecreases. -!e "ecrease in 'eig!t
is proportional to 'eig!t o& t!e 'ater "isplace" by bo"y &rom t!e pot..
-!is in generaliBe" principle a""itional &actor comes in pict*re# '!en sign o& proportionality is
remo1e". 0t acco*nts &or <=(E o& bo"y an" ot!er el*si1e &actors.
Archimedes: 0t is 9I. E1en a&ter $$%5 years ol" principle is in *se an" enric!e". -!e
generaliBe" principle pre"icts t!e 1ol*me o& me"i*m &ille" in balloon "oes not become
;4DE>04ED or 04DE-ECM04-E +0F0, i.e. 8G0F0# 'e get e2act 1ol*me 8 +8G8,.
Q+ !hat is your advice to scientists about you principle#
Archimedes$ 0n my "ays t!ere 'ere no mat!ematical eq*ations# no s*c! e2perimental
&acilities. <o t!e principle 'as correct at t!at time. Earlier 'e ass*me" t!at t!ere 'ere only 5
planets in solar system b*t no' it is 9. <o science is not static an" absol*te# it is relati1e. 4o'
my principle is translate" in terms o& mat!ematical eq*ations# i& ne' pre"ictions are
e2perimentally teste"# t!e generaliBation 'ill be con&irme". 0 am eager to see ne' res*lts. A!at
is *se o& e2pensi1e an" sop!isticate" laboratories i& el*si1e e2periments are not con"*cte". 0t
is not ro*tine b*t inno1ati1e e2periments are important.
Q5 ,o now we will start conducting the e>periments which were not possible at your
time. I& your principle is &ound true then the principle will e>ist in original &orm till the
civili?ation 7human0ind e>ists or will be modi&ied as A)ay ,harma suggested.
Archimedes$ 0t is rig!t# 'e 'ill meet '!en t!e inno1ati1e e2periments are o1er. 0 'as
inter1ie'e" &or &irst time by someone# it is so nice. -!an/ yo*
