MUMBAI, India - Indian scientists have protested claims made at a local science conference that trashed the work of some of the world's greatest physicists and suggested modern breakthroughs such as in-vitro fertilization were in fact invented in ancient India.

In a lecture at the Indian Science Congress and posted on You-Tube, one speaker, Kannan Jegathala Krishnan said Isaac Newton was wrong about gravity, Albert Einstein made a "big blunder" and questioned Stephen Hawking's achievements.

Another speaker, G. Nageswara Rao, a vice chancellor at Andhra University in southern India, used stories from Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata as proof that the people of ancient India had aircraft, test-tube babies and that stem cell research "was done in this country thousands of years ago".
