Enjoy the journey, thinking! The Universe is so wonderful!
Through a tiny pinhole not well cut, we try to view the beauty of the universe, of indefinite age, or at least 2billion years old, from within, not knowing where to look nor knowing what to expect, with some principles mostly accepted as probably right most of the time, by our own reckoning, evolved only in the last 500 years!
We naturally get confused and think in circles.
Just a matter of small interest- in Bhgavatha it is said a King takes his daughter to visit Satyaloka for getting recommendation for a good husband and gets delayed by a few seconds, waiting to see Brahma & then to reach back our Earths' kakhya ( Orbit?) to find the yugas changed and he was no more King etc!! She becomes wife of Balrama, much younger than herself. Her name Revathi. The time scale mentioned is that one second in Satyaloka is 100 solar years- So one day of 24 hours means 24x 3600=86,400 seconds or 8,640,000 solar years! But this calculation is at variance with 8.64 b years mentioned---May be that is why the elders said, our life is hardly one second of time!
జీవితం క్షణ భంగురం !
However-- we do not know if speed of light changes from different ages in universe as a local constant and what could be the implications on the fabric of space and time.
Best is to enjoy the simple thinking and calculate and wonder, wonder and wonder- without trying to be judgmental .
Whether Eastern or Western , we must just enjoy the power of our mind to think, think and think! SO long as we do not allow egos and attitude to prevail and force on others own view, believing in own superiority, life is enjoyable!
On balance, none of us are truly knowledgeable to be able to understand even an iota of what is there in the universe, but yes, we can taste a bit the grandeur and have right to wonder at the vastness and be hungry to know and know more, with all humility!
This journey is beautiful by itself! Enjoy!
