Abstract
Here in this paper, concepts of space, time and reality in the Universe are discussed according to modern science. A new order of space, time and reality in five-dimensional Universe with mass as the fifth dimension is discovered. It is found that these concepts are consistent with those propounded by Jain Philosophy in conformation with principle of Anekantwad of Lord Mahavira and the principle of conservation of energy. It is suggested that to get more light on the subject, Jain Philosophy should be studied in detail.
Keywords

I. Introduction
A point cannot determine space. It can determine only a black hole. When a second point comes into being, we can measure the distance between two points and we can define space. It was sage Baudhayan who gave the formula for distance between two points, 200 years before Pythagoras. Baudhayan-Pythagoras Theorem r2 = x2+ y2 is at the base of measurements in the Universe.
