This theory of Mr. Hariis is still under development. Today there is an interesting news item from Washington post and an extract is, as below:(By Rob Stein, Washington Post Staff Writer, Wednesday, February 12, 2003; Page A01 ) Astronomers have now calculated that the universe is 13.7 billion years old, that the first stars lighted up just 200 million years after the cosmos was born, and that it will expand forever, thinning and cooling until it eventually reaches nothingness. The new estimate of 13.7 billion years has a margin of error of only 1 percent, compared with about 30 percent for the best previous estimates The data also have enabled scientists to produce the most exact calculation ever of what the cosmos is made of today. It turns out that only 4 percent of the universe is made up of atoms with known forces such as electromagnetism and gravity, the ordinary stuff that makes people, potatoes, porcelain and everything else that humans know. Twenty-three percent of the universe is made from mysterious unseen material dubbed "dark matter" because scientists know so little about it. The remainder -- 73 percent -- is made up of yet another poorly understood force called "dark energy". The full article can be read at : http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A59406-2003Feb11.html Two queries here to our Satsang and Moderators: a) Could this the Dark matter and Dark energy could be Tamasic and Rajasic states and atoms are the satvic state b) What is the comparison between the age of Universe as per our Puranans and the new scientific observation. As per version of a Vishnu Purana with me here, I find that half a day (of Brahman) is 4. 28 bilion human years, at the end of which there will be a Pralaya. Do others have different versions from other Puranas? We should research these matters before some German University makes a patent on our Puranas and vedanta.

Pranams P.B.V.Rajan -- Dear Shri Rajan, Herewith is forwarded a news item that will be relevent to your concern at the moment: German firm obtains trademark rights over Veda 18.35 IST 02nd Feb 2003 By IndiaExpress Bureau A few months after a German firm patented ‘Vaasthu’, another German firm has obtained trademark rights over Vedas, one of India’s most sacred possessions. The firm called Veda GmbH, involved in development of computer software, has appropriated exclusive rights over Vedas. The firm has also registered it in many countries. The shocking development was discovered following a dispute before the World Intellectual Property Organization(WIPO) over a web www.veda.com. , registered by a British national. Though the claim succeeded, the panel, which decided the case , drew the attention of the Veda GmbH that “almost a billion of Hindus would dispute that the name of their sacred scriptures(veda or Vedas) has been created by a German company. “ The German company charged the British national Nicholas Silverstone with ignoring its trademark rights. The firm urged the WIPO that it transfer the domain name to it. The WIPO panel ruled that Silverstone could have registered veda.com. for a website devoted to selling religious Hindu literature. With Silverstone refusing to answer the questions raised by the German firm, the WIPO panel ruled that “he did not and does not claim a connection with Hinduism.” Though the WIPO panel ruled that the veda.com be transferred to Veda GmbH, it ruled that the domain name had been registered in bad faith. -------------------------------- Hari Om !

Do others have different versions from other Puranas? Namaste, This is only our universe, there are infinite numbers of oval universes. 'Dark Matter', could still be involving gunas without light. Ultimately there is a 'Unified Field'. Then there is prakriti. There are two different types of pralaya, for mahapralaya includes the subtle worlds as will up to Brahmaloka I believe. Essentially most science is dealing with gross matter and its component energies, without getting into the subtle........ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
