But Nilesh Oak takes this line and in his simulator he found that some time before 5561 BCE Arundhati has higher RA (Right Ascension) than Vashishtha and BINGO!! Mahbharat war date has been confirmed using "Scientific" method.

For this childish nonsense, Oak has anointed himself in the league of Newton, Galileo, and Kepler.
@jayasartn, in a clear manner had demolished the abv described claim of Oak. I am giving relevant pages but I suggest interested one to read whole book. You will learn a lot.7/

In the assembly of scientists a person doing this Oak's kind of skulduggery with the claim of being "Scientific" will be hauled over the coals but then we have seen so much of pseudo-Science eg Social-Sciences, Political Science, Economic Sciences, Linguistics etc in the past

and given Hindus (because of their ignorance and low self-esteem) they will lap up anything on the name of "scientific" approval of their Scriptures. So Oak is superstar and mega warrior of Hindu Dharma taking on westerners.

The reality is that Oak is basically a member of the cult of "Savarkarite Rationalism" (ie ज्ञानेन्द्रिय प्रत्यक्षवादी) which is like Brahmo-Samaj, Arya-Samaj, Tat-Khalsa etc has its genesis in Protestant critique of Hinduism with a tinge of Sankhya (atheism part).

So don't get fooled by Sanskrit one liners and Mumbo-Jumbo of Oak. If you want to see his real face notice his contempt for पारंपरिक ब्राह्मण, सनातनी साधू-संत, आदि शंकराचार्य etc. He thinks of these as perpitrators of the darkness of ignorance and superstition among Hindus.

In pure layman terms, imagine you are observing two objects with coordinates P1(x1,y1,z1) and P2(x2,y2,z2). Now, imagine someone declaring P1 ahead or behind P2 based on comparing just y1 and y2 (or x1 and x2 or z1 and z2). https://twitter.com/Hiranyareta/status/1341875667760271361?s=20
