The Universe and Us

    The most beautiful aspect of creation is the illusory one, ie 'the Universe we live in'. This Universe is now better known as the 'multiverse' since it contains not one universe, or hundred, thousand, or a million, but 700 billions of them in a vast and deep endless space. But, here again, the term ' space' is something that does not exist at all! It is yet to be defined in concrete terms as to what is 'space' since there is no such thing as 'space' at all! The scientific version of the term 'Space' and the objects found in it, such as, the galaxies, stars, the sun, earth and the moon (go loka, surya, soma, anala) are all objects created by our own mind! These are all imagination, images created in our mind, thoughts, ideas, postulations and what is constructed by us! Now, the scientists have also started speaking in the Vedic tradition! Jagat mythya brahmn satya | They, too, agree that these pictures of galaxies, stars, obtained from the powerful electronic telescopes like the Hubble Telescope at Mt. Palomar are the computer simulations and the statements made on the basis of these images are all mere hypotheses, postulations, theories and nothing sure is established. They finally conclude that 'nothing is certain'! See National Geographic Magazine, February 2003 for a detailed account of Galaxies.  
   Now, we present here the views expressed in scientific periodicals and Magazines as well as the Vedic Texts so that we can have a clear idea about 'the world we live in'.
