Gitanjali Angmo defends Rigveda's mention of light speed after online backlash
Gitanjali Angmo, an educationist and wife of Sonam Wangchuk, has hit back at an X user who criticized her recent remarks. The user had called her comments regarding ancient sages calculating the speed of light "really disgusting." In response, Angmo posted a segment from the Rigveda, arguing that the ancient text identified the speed of light as 185,794 miles per second, a figure remarkably close to the 186,282 miles per second accepted by modern science.
