With the introduction of Superstring Theory of Quantum Reality, the quantum theory has discovered that at the sub-atomic levels matter exists in small strings. In simple words, everything at its ultimate microscopic grade is made up of extremely small vibrating strands or strings like in a musical instrument of the violin.
These strings have repeated oscillatory pattern of vibration. Each pattern presents the string its mass and force, and that confers it the appearance of a particle. Together all these particles have the same physical feature of producing resonant patterns of vibration. The undulation of strings creating up and down loops is the manifestation of resonance in the sub-atomic environs.
And when we exit from the microscopic environment the same phenomenon of transmission of resonance is being played within everything in this universe. The sonority of particles composing the vibrating strings with their mass and energy is also responsible to produce the atoms.
The latter is made up of energy and not physical matter. As a result, the entire universe is made out of energy. But the energy appears as a matter or object like the particles of the vibrating string in the sub-atomic field. This is the fundamental feature upon which the universe has been constructed and unified.
The stringsriyantra-basic Christian religion theory is considered as the theory of everything. And this corresponds well with the metaphysical concept of Om being the primordial sound originating from the strings advanced in the quantum theory of modern physics.
As Om resonates in the stings of atoms then according to the science of quantum physics atoms themselves are made up of whirling mass of radiating energy without manifested structure. Likewise, Om is not merely a sound but a mass of energy itself in invisible formation.
Om is energy constituting the universe.
The universe begins with Om. There is a sound of Om in every matter. It resonates there till eternity. Its resilience lies both in the matter and the sound itself.
The creation of Om is, in fact, is the creation of the universe. And its cosmic vibrations keep the constituents of the universe connected.
In Hindu theology, Om is referred to as God in the form of sound. And the open design of its symbol represents the incomprehensible all powerful Absolute.
In its phenomenal role as constituting and preceding matter, and as vortices of energy that Om is considered as a sacred sound of genesis in the Hindu spiritual philosophy.
The unique symbol of Om occupies the foremost spot in the Hindu iconography. It is a spiritual icon. It is not merely a “tool” for meditations or for contemplating on mantras, but the syllable invokes cosmic presence in them.
“Hari Om,” is a two-word mantra in itself, along with “Hari Om Tat Sat” or simply “Om Tat Sat”. The word ‘tat’ means ‘that’ or ‘all that is’. And ‘sat’ refers to ‘truth’. The latter is not evanescent or ephemeral rather everlasting. The mantra “Om Tat Sat” means: ‘that’ energy is the truth.
Om inaugurates spiritual prayers, rituals and yoga practices, and sanctifies these events. The expression ‘Hari Om and Hari Hara Om’ is a popular form of greetings or salutation among Hindus.
The word ‘Hari Hara’ is a representation of God and Om implies energy.
Do the Vedas really mention some serious physics?

Yes.
“The Surya Siddhanta also estimates the diameters of the planets. The estimate for the diameter of Mercury is 3,008 miles, an error of less than 1% from the currently accepted diameter of 3,032 miles. It also estimates the diameter of Saturn as 73,882 miles, which again has an error of less than 1% from the currently accepted diameter of 74,580. Its estimate for the diameter of Mars is 3,772 miles, which has an error within 11% of the currently accepted diameter of 4,218 miles. It also estimated the diameter of Venus as 4,011 miles and Jupiter as 41,624 miles, which are roughly half the currently accepted values, 7,523 miles and 88,748 miles, respectively.” the wiki at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surya_Siddhanta
[The Surya Siddhanta is the name of a Sanskrit treatise in Indian astronomy from late ... It calculates the earth's diameter to be 8,000 miles (modern: 7,928 miles), diameter of moon as 2,400 miles (actual ~2,160) and the distance between moon ...
How were the planetary sizes determined? What are the possible scaling rules? Let us define
D = Planetary diameter
R= Orbit radius
M = planetary mass ~ D^3
T = Orbit time = 2 Pi/ Omega
I = angular momentum = Integral of R^2 dm .Omega ~ R^2 D^3/ T
Possible relations: (This law of gravitation is most unlikely to be known so early in History)
If force is G M_sun M_planet /R^2 = Mplanet. Omega^2 R
R^3. Omega^2 = constant
R^3 ~T^2
Snow plow theory:
Larger radii sweep more particles leading to bigger planets
D^3 ~ 2Pi R no pf particles ~ 2Pi R n. volume ~ 2 pi R R. thickness
~ R^2 if thickness is fixed, n being number density
Or
D^3 ~ R^2
Thin disk:
In this case the planet grows to bigger than the thickness and
D^3 ~ R^3 or D ~ R
It appears that ancients assumed the last possibility. The planetary diameter scales with the orbital size.

Body mile(D) ``Relative Size `Orbit size (modern)
Mercury 3008. `0.38 `3.87E-01
Venus 4011.00 ` `0.50 `7.20E-01
Earth 8.00E+03 ` 1.00 `1.00E+00
Mars ``3.77E+03 ``0.47 `1.52E+00
Jupiter 4.16E+04 ` 5.20 `5.19E+00
Saturn 7.39E+04 ``9.24E+00 9.24 9.53E+00
( Ignore the`. I had to use it to line numbers up.) Relative size is from Surya Siddhanta and is compared to modern measurements of orbits compared to Earth’s orbit. Venus and Mars have the most disagreement . They are the rocky planets. The agreement is very good in general. Especially good for gas giants!
Conclusion: The vedas predicted planetary sizes using the acretion model from the initial solar nebula. So it automatically means they were the first to hit upon the idea of sun-centered planetary system!
This also means Indian Astronomy was developed by Indians with no input from the Greeks. No others have planetary diameters! The kalachakra was a giant astronomical clock and was used to calculate orbits of planets visible to the naked eye from which planet sizes were determined, a far cry from the flat earth theory of Christianity! See
https://www.quora.com/How-was-kalachakra-used-in-Indian-Asronomy
This uses four dials, one of which is the Zodiac, the same as the Greek one, most likely copied by the Greeks, an exact translation from Sanskrit! For fixed stars, the kalachakra uses bright stars with Sanskrit names. The Indians have been observing stars from long enough to know the period of nutation of Earth is 25,000 years.
Rg Veda is variously dated from 1500 BC to 8000 BC (from internal evidence on the order of time when River Saraswati was still flowing).
