A New Cosmology Scenario Revealed in the Ancient Veda Mantras of India
  Motion is an inherent property of matter. Be it inside the smallest of all atoms, the Hydrogen atom (diagram below), a negatively charged electron orbiting at a speed of 2 million meters/sec around its nucleus made of a positively charged Proton weighing only 1.7x10-27 Kg formed out of three quarks, or be it in the entire universe weighing 1060 Kg with over 100 billion galaxies in it; the property of motion is all-pervading.

  The Moon rotates around the centre of the Earth. The Earth and the other planets rotate around the centre of the Sun and the Sun and over 200 billion stars tied to our Milky Way Galaxy rotate around its galactic centre.

Could all galaxies of the universe be rotating around the centre of the universe?



  The answer to this question comes from the Veda mantras. The detailed discussion is in Chapter 7; the Veda mantras distinctly depict the process that the entire universe is rotating around a brilliantly hot spinning prodigious Pillar of Matter/Energy, addressed by the Vedas as the "Skambha". Symbolically the Skambha is shown in the diagram below as the interior ellipsoid within the ellipsoid of the exploding and rotating universe( two subsequent stages of the universe are depicted in the diagram).

The mantras emphasize that the Skambha continues to supply rotational momentum (centrifugal force) to the universe.
NO HYPOTHETICAL DARK ENERGY NEEDED.

  The Sun's position in the Milky Way Galaxy is shown by a red dot (diagram above) and the Skambha of the Milky Way is shown at its centre.

  It is an amazing coincidence that the "Skambha" of the Vedas at the centre of the universe has a similarity with the rotating "bar" at the centres of galaxies!

The Vedic Cosmology Principle is formulated in Chapter 6 and the Vedic Cosmology Scenario is developed in Chapter 7 to 9.
Vedic Cosmology Terms
  Etymology of the Sanskrit terms for the processes, effects and entities pertaining to the advent, duration and dissolution of the universe, such as प्रकृति (Prakriti,Nature), आकाश (Aakaash, Space), काल(Kaal, Time), सत (Sata, definable Creation-state of Matter), असत (Asata, indefinable Dissolution-state of Matter), सृष्टि (Srishti,The Creation) सर्ग (Sarg, Creation-epoch of the universe), जगत (Jagata the term is formed with three roots ja, ga, ta meaning that the universe is a tri-property creation), प्रलय (Pralaya, Dissolution-state of Creation), अनादि (anaadi, real eternal entity), नित्य (nitya,real and ever-existing), कल्प (kalp, Creation Period), विकल्प (vikalp Dissolution Period) and many more terms throughout the text of this book(defined and discussed in Chapter 5) relate to cosmology. For example, the term प्रकृति (Prakriti) stands for the Nature-entity in general, its other 33 Sanskrit synonyms collected (tabulated) from the Vedas by this author, represent Nature's specific stages and forms.

  The differentiating Vedic terms of mechanics tend to define the whole process. As an example the term "paryaplava" means the "rotation in floatation", used in Vedic mechanics to depict the spinning process of the primordial Hiranmayamaandam (Golden-ovate) and the term "aa akrameet" on the other hand means the "repeating orbital motion of an object", used to explain the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun (RigVeda,**/***/*).

  If the terms of cosmology exist in the Vedas, the Vedas must have dealt with cosmology! Out of the many, many more terms in the Vedas this author has tabulated synonyms of specific terms in Vedic Cosmology: 22 for Aakaash-tatva (the Space-entity), 39 for Prakriti (the Nature-entity), 33 for Prithvi (the Earth), 20 for Soorya (the Sun) and so on. The terminology provided in Vedic Cosmology is not only rich but offers amazing clarity. Also the multi-dimensional Sanskrit grammar contributes toward the comprehension of even difficult to understand abstract subject matter.

  The Vedas are theistic with two separate realms, matter and consciousness. In the creation phase both realms interact with each other but one does not convert into the other. The matter realm is dealt with in this book and the consciousness realm is the subject of another book. Yogiraj Krishna said in Bhagvadgita, "Just as the all-pervading Aakaash (Space-entity), owing to its minute nature, does not attach to any object in it, the consciousness(soul-entity) in the living-being also does not attach to the matter of the physical body.". Krishna in this shloka (couplet) defines not only the nature of the quantum of consciousness, but he cites the Vedic definition of the Space-entity (Aakaash), that the Space-entity holds the matter of the universe but does not attach (react) with matter. A dozen other Veda-furnished properties of the Space-entity are discussed by this author in Chapter 5 of this book. The Big Bang Hypothesis is yet to define what Space-entity actually is.

The Modern Big Bang Hypothesis

  The universe in the modern Big Bang Hypothesis begins with a dimensionless mathematical condition called the ‘space-time singularity’ at infinitely high temperature, creating ‘matter out of nothing'; yes, all of about 1060 Kg – the entire mass of the universe as stipulated by modern cosmologists (60 zeros after 1). This is only half of what was instantaneously created at time = 0 of Big Bang when the Time-entity and the Space-entity are also hypothesized to have taken birth for the first time. The other half of the matter also created simultaneously with the matter of the universe, known as the ‘antimatter’, remains unaccounted for. The ‘conservation of matter (or energy)’ is a law of Nature (physics) but the modern Big Bang Hypothesis apparently overlooks.

  The entire matter of the universe is created in the Planck Era of short duration between zero second and an unimaginable fraction of time, about 5.4x10−43 second (divide 5.4 by 10 million-trillion-trillion-trillion), when the radius of the universe was only about 1.616x10−35 meter (divide 0.1616 by trillion-trillion-trillion). Right after its birth, the Big Bang Hypothesis subjects the universe to another short time epoch called the Cosmic Inflation Era, lasting from 10−36 to 10−32 second when the expansion of the universe is exponentially accelerated when the universe is only a meter wide. The modern Big Bang Hypothesis tests the imagination power of human beings. The book on Vedic Big Bang elaborates how the universe came to be in a simpler physics process.

  The emphasis in the Big Bang Hypothesis that the Space-entity and the Time-entity are created for the first time along with the Nature (matter), poses many questions relating to physics and philosophy. Several questions on the Big Bang Hypothesis are raised in Chapters 1 and 2. As an example let us raise a question: The matter (Nature) is created out of nothing under the laws of Quantum Physics but the Space and Time cannot be created under the laws of Quantum Physics. So, what mechanism creates the Space and Time? The observation of the functioning universe supports the Vedic philosophy dictum under the “cause-effect” principle that –“What is being created cannot be a cause of itself”.

Vedic Cosmology

  The ancient cosmology in the Vedas is so methodically laid down in chapter and verse that it leaves the reader amazed as to why it is so similar in some respects to the contemporary Big Bang Hypothesis and drastically different in other mechanisms. It is awe-inspiring even for a physicist because the advent of the universe in this ancient cosmology is within the physics framework and has a meaningful beginning with the matter of the universe initially in an indefinable state (Asata-state), confined in a tuchchhaya (diminutive) space (RigVeda **/**/**), transiting later into the enormous primordial matter-oblate in the definable state of matter (Sata-state). Implicit in this transition is that the matter of the universe follows the "law of conservation of matter"; the same matter changes its state and form. The author formulated in Chapter 6 the “Vedic Cosmology Principle” based on 17 Veda mantras and 28 ensuing physics deductions. The Vedic Cosmology Principle propounds the birth of the universe out of an impetuous explosion in the primordial ovate of brilliantly hot matter named हिरण्मयमाण्डं (Hiranmaya-aandam = Golden-embryo). This author termed the depiction of this fierce experiment of Nature in the Veda mantras as “The Vedic Big Bang”. Among the other specific Vedic terms that describe this experiment of Nature, the tremendous explosion in the Golden-embryo, is वितत: (vitatah) in the RigVeda mantra (**/**/**), which means the instantaneous-expansion (explosion). Therefore the title of the book is:
"The Vedic Big Bang©: A New Cosmology Scenario Revealed in the Ancient Veda Mantras of India". (continued in second column...)
  In the contemporary Big Bang Hypothesis the universe is said to have been "shaped" within an unimaginably small time fraction of trillion-trillion-trillionth of a second (from 10-36 to 10-32 second) in the Cosmic Inflation epoch when the present universe weighing trillion-trillion-trillion-trillion-trillion Kg was only a meter across. The Vedic Big Bang Cosmology assigns a definite incubation period for the primordial universe of one Deva-yuga measuring 4.32 Million Years (MY) for the development of immense heat energy (Agni-devata) and tremendous rotational energy (Vaayu-devata) around its axis before it explodes into koti-koti (uncountable) smaller aandams (ovates/spheroids) to form the cosmos of the universe.

  The mantras further emphasize that these smaller aandams (spheroids) are the ‘cause’ for the mahaan (great) celestial bodies. Also the number 4.32 MY mentioned above being in cosmological scale and associated with the raw material of the universe in the shape of a brilliantly hot spheroid (Hiranya-aand), a physicist has to accept the fact that the Vedic thought expressed in the above mantras is in the realm of cosmology.

   The astronomical/cosmological time-scales of the Aryans, ranging from a Nimesh (0.178 second) to 8.64 Billion Years, are discussed in Chapter 5. Also from the physics/astronomy perspective a detailed discussion in the book is on the Manvantar cycle of 306.72 Million Years when the periodic Great Flood (Jal Plaavan) occurs when the life on Earth is rejuvenated. The last (Jal Plaavan) occured 145.59 MY ago and the next the 7th will occur in 161.13 MY.

   Among the large number of subjects in differing realms, the Vedas have dealt with the cognate subjects such as physics, cosmology and astronomy. With a large number of additional mantras on the subject of cosmology the author has developed in Chapter 7 a scenario for the advent of the universe. There are numerous differences and several surprising similarities between the ancient Vedic Cosmology Principle and the modern Big Bang Hypothesis of modern cosmology.

   To strengthen the premise of this book, that the Vedic Cosmology is science-based, the author has presented the examples of the physics phenomena revealed in the Veda mantras. To give a flavour of the book, several of a large number of sub-headings in the Chapter 7 on Vedic Cosmology Scenario are given below and discussed in the book.

•  Vedic Creation begins at True Absolute Zero Temperature:-
  This has a different meaning than the Absolute Zero Temperature of modern physics.

•  Tuchchhaya to Mahaan (Minute to Colossal):–
Matter in Diminutive volume in the Asata-state of dissolution transits into collossal matter conglomerate in the Sata-state, the creation phase of the universe - discussed in detail in the book.

•   The Heat Energy Eh (Tapah or Agni-devata) and the Rotational Energy Er(Vaayu-devata):
- developed over a Veda assigned period of 4.32 MY and created an enormous, outward pointing, Centrifugal Force exploding the rotating and expanding Maartaand--no hypothetical Dark Energy of modern Big Bang is necessary.

•  Skambha the mysterious central Pillar of Energy:- The mantra references reveal this unique feature in the Vedic concept of creation.


•  Skambha of the Vedas - the Bar of a Galaxy (discussion in the book).

•  Expanding Universe an Ancient Vedic Thought

  One of the mantras expresses it well:
“…the universe (vishva) with its self-propelling force, expands greatly (amita) from the previous (poorva) minimum positions of the created objects of matter (rajah). Thus the diverse population of cosmos of the universe spreads out in togetherness bound by Nature’s rule” (RigVeda **/**/*)
  A mantra such as this cannot be labeled as the byproduct of religious faith. It is a subject of physics.
•   Based on the Vedic Cosmology, the author offers a perspective on Modern Theories of the Formation and Rotation of Galaxies:
(A) Why are Younger Galaxies in Better Shape? (B) Why do Spiral Galaxies still have Arms? And (C) The Vedic Perspective on the Merger of Galaxies.
•  Sustenance of the Universe: A Tug-of-War between Two Opposing Real Forces


The Vedic Pralaya - the Vedic Big Crunch
•  Shape of the Universe
(1) Vedic Universe is like a Flat Sheet (2) a Yava-shaped Universe (3) The Universe is like a Tree
•  Consequences of the Rotation of the Universe around an Axis (Skambha): (1) Dark Halo Surrounding the Galaxies, (2) Furrows in the Aapah Field - The Mirage of the Cosmos, (3) A different Vedic explanation of the Curved Space near massive bodies, (4) A New Postulate on Space and Aapah.
Based on specific mantra references the author has drawn 12 ground-breaking deductions and 4 new theorems that would lead to new thoughts in Physics and Cosmology.
