________________ 14. THE CONCEPT OF AGES our changing distance from Vishnunabhi, rather than a deliberate divine intervention at the end of Kali Yuga. • The greater cycles like kalpas, manvantars, and lifespan of Brahma go unmentioned." http://www.baharna.com/karma/yuga.htm Satya-Yuga Gold Satya-Yuga Gold Das Grobe Jahr 24000 Jahre Treta-Yuga Silber Siber Treta-Yuga ezuoja efina-eledема Vesta uasia azvoje f ejedend Boney one vey v The Age of Cosmos and Reality Check Brahma has 2000 Maha Yugas which includes a day and a night. There are 360 days in a year for Brahma and we are in the first day of 51st year. So far 360 x 50= 18000 days have passed for Brahma This is equivalent to 18000 x 2000 x 4320000 = 155,520,000,000,000 Human Years Add the current day of Brahma which is 1,972,944,456 Humans Years So as per the vedas, the current age of the universe is 155,521,972,944,456 Years which is about 156 Trillion years. Using the Hubble constant and information about the expansion of the Universe from the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers at the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, America have been able to measure the age of the Universe to between 12 and 14 billion years old. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/origins/bigbang/ spaceandtime.shtml) Of course we can always fall back on parallel universe or multiple dimensions. Probably Indians of the 5th C AD knew better. 262
