Our Universe

"There could be an infinite number of universes each with its own law of Physics. Our Universe could be just one bubble floating in an ocean of inifinite bubbles", recent discoveries seem to indicate. May be a breakthrough for scientific fraternity that has long been trying to understand the creation, the universe, and everything related to this. A fascinating basis of this scientific stand is that the Universe came into existence (i.e. it did not exist in its current form in the beginning), it came from nothing (or virtually nothing) on its own accord, it expanded from this virtual nothingness to billion trillion trillion times in a very short period of time, it was created merely by the law of physics, it sustains itself, continues to grow, and will eventually collapse to nothingess. What seems to have surprised scientists recently is its growth rate and that it continues to expand whereas it was supposed to slow down and collapse gradually.

First things first, this Universe may not be the only one, this could be just one bubble in an ocean of inifinite bubbles. This is not new to vedic scientists. This is in the scriptures, that millions of universes emanate (He does not create them) from the Lord. This universe is but a bubble in an ocean of bubbles. Not just that, the vedic scriptures go on to say that this material creation (that which the scientists deem to be infinite) is only 1/4 of the overall material creation, where as bigger chunck, i.e. 3/4th of the creation, belongs to a spiritual sky beyond the human sensory perceptions. Do we need any evidence? We may need to transcend the sensory limitations, move beyond pratyaksha pramaaNa (proofs through observations). There are levels of understanding any aspect, those that are pratyaksha (observable using sensory perceptions), paroksha (one that is outside the sensory perception, far away from one's self), and aparoksha (one that is outside the sensory perception, but within one's self). Shruti provides the pramaaNa for paroskha and aparoksha, but the later can be realized only through deep contemplation. Now, at what level are the scientists in, the basic pratyaksha level? How much have they understood out of the inifinite? Miniscule. But, they say proudly that they are not close to answer everything through science. And, are they humble about that?

Second question or assumption, that Universe came from nothing, through the laws of science/physics. But, how did the laws come to exist? how did the Universe embed those attributes/characteristics? can life come from nothing (yeah, there is life in near nothingness of a bacteria, but even that life could not have come from non life)? Some questions that scientists think will have answers for in the near future. Vedic science does not deny that everything came from nothing, but it goes beyond to say that everything came from nothing material.

If the universe grew from near nothingness to billion trillion trillion times then imagine the amount of energy and potential it had stored within itself. How did it have this potential, where did that come from? Energy exists by itself, it is just by the laws of physics and all such attempts at addressing these questions assume that something existed, they still cannot account for "how, why, from where" questions. So these answers complicate their own stances, because energy needs a source, an energetic. It thus appears that the scientists believe in magic, an imgination with dimensions greater than those of God; they take shelter of absurd assumptions (so called scientific) and mathemetical mesh in order to deny even the probabile existance of God. The denial of God is also not new to Vedic science, it has a long history that dates back to a billion years, the times of HiraNyakashipu and HiraNyaksha. One way to deny the authenticity of these historical evidences is to tag them as Mythology, a serious allegation from a Christian agenda (I am sounding like a religious fanatic here, I know that, but it is hard to close eyes for what has been conspired on the wonders of Vedic science).

The one thing that they seem to be close to a good answer is that the universe will eventually collapse into near nothingness, again. Vedic science also concurs with this conclusion, but it goes ahead to state that it is into that one that it collapses into from which it emanted from in the beginning.

Long way to go guyz, but we may have reached these scientific conclusions several times during the cycles of this creation; even the scientists may have started to see this in their fresh perceptions of parallel universes.
