V serial, Cosmos: a personal Voyage was viewed by an estimated ten million viewers in January 1982.<br /> That he said that &quot;The Hindu cosmology may contain the reply to the present day day astronomers' conflicting views that the universe may either be expanding or contracting. &quot;<br /> &quot;If the universe is expanding according to the 'Big Bang' model of Fred Hoyle and Able Le Maitre, then what happens to the stars that expand, explode and died? Off,<br /> as another school of astronomy says, the universe is contracting and that the stars and galaxies are being pulled back to a centre of creation, where do all of them go? &quot;<br /> To find out the clear answer for this question he traveled to India.<br /> He found the answer in Nataraja, the Hindu God worshipped by millions of Hindus.<br /> Pointing to the statue of Nataraja, the [http://www.cloud9casting.com/ ACTING] model of Shiva, that he said, 'The answer lies in Hindu Cosmology. &quot;<br /> Pointing to the conch held by Shiva, Carl Sagan said: &quot;<br /> &quot;This symbolizes creation of the universe, stars, galaxies and the individual. &quot;<br /> Pointing to the fire in the other hand he added: This symbolizes destruction of what has been created. &quot;<br /> That he was wonderstruck on once you understand the wonderful part of Hindu cosmology.<br /> Why he has plumped for India for Cosmos: an individual Voyage? He explained it very clearly:<br /> <br /> &quot;The main reason that individuals oriented this episode of COSMOS towards India could be because of that wonderful part of Hindu cosmology which first of all gives a time-scale for the Earth and the universe -- a time-scale which is consonant with that of modern scientific cosmology. We realize that the Earth is about 4. 6 billion years old, and the cosmos, or at least its present incarnation, is something similar to 10 or 20 billion years old. The Hindu tradition has a day and night of Brahma in this range, somewhere in the region of 8. 4 billion years.<br /> <br /> In so far as i know, it's the only ancient religious tradition [http://www.cloud9casting.com/ MODELS] on the Earth which talks about the right time-scale. You want to get over the idea of the best time-scale, and to show it is not unnatural. In the West, people have the sense that what is natural is for the universe to become a few thousand years old, and that billions is indwelling, and no you can understand it. The Hindu concept is extremely clear. Here is a great world culture which includes always mentioned billions of years.<br /> Finally, the numerous billion year time-scale of Hindu cosmology is not the whole history of the universe, but just the day and night of Brahma, and there is the idea of an infinite cycle of births and deaths and thousands of universes, each using its own gods. Which is just a very grand idea. &quot;<br /> <br /> Not only Carl Sagan, Fritjof Capra the famous scientist also admired Nataraja.</div> Sun, 18 Mar 2012 06:26:54 GMT JamieMachado271 http://beta.aalf.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:JamieMachado271
