Metaphorical comparison of "Om" sound and "Word" in Bible

 

In the beginning was the "Word", and the Word was with God, and the Word was God - Bible, John 1:1

Sound of "Om" is identified with the ultimate reality, serving as both the manifest and the unmanifest, the experiential and the transcendental.  The past, the present, the future — everything is just the word Om. -  Hinduism, Mandukya Upanishad

Metaphorical comparison of ancient cyclical times and modern cyclic universe hypothesis.

Kaliyuga: In ancient thought in Hinduism, time is seen as cyclical, comprising of four ages or Yugas: Satya (or Krita), Treta, Dvapara, and Kali. It is believed the cycle will restart with the Satya Yuga. Total time is 4,320,000 years (= Satya Yuga 1,728,000 years + Treta Yuga 1,296,000 + Dvapara Yuga 864,000 + Kali Yuga 432,000)

Oscillating Universe (Cyclic Universe): One of the hypotheses in cosmology states that universe undergoes an infinite series of oscillations, where it expands, contracts, and then begins again. Each cycle can be seen as a Big Bang followed by a 'Big Crunch', only to be reborn again in a new Big Bang. The idea addresses questions about the ultimate fate of our universe and its possible rebirth.

The ancient and modern dreams of finding infinite limits

Infinite Dreams in Mythology

In a competition between Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma to the infinite top and bottom ends of Shiva, as in a form of pillar light, Brahma lied, and Vishnu humbled to find the limits of infinite. 

Infinite in Science

In science, the observable universe diameter is about 93 billion light-years. Anything beyond that distance is currently beyond our observational capabilities but its infinite existence still unknown.

Exploration of infinite limits will go on.

Ancient observable flat earth and modern observable flat universe

Observable Earth was flat in the ancient times. 

Lord Vishnu covered entire earth with one feet and sky with other feet in Vaman Avatar (in a dwarf human form)

Observable universe is flat in modern times.

What are your dreams which hold the future?


Additional conversation between two friends on this topic.
Person 1 : Ayya. Ippo enna solla varreengo? (What are you trying to say?)
Person 2: Universe may not be flat. Perhaps we are on the universe bubble though appear to be flat and observable distance is 93 billion light-years away. Perhaps we may have multiple universe bubbles. We do not know what we do not know😀

Person 1: Is it true that the observable distance is only such that the light reaches. If it is beyond 93 billion LY, the light never reaches us. Yeah, we don’t know what we don’t know. 
The small little brain of a human trying to fathom the Universe!!  
Person 2: Yes, that's correct. The observable universe refers to the region of space from which light has had enough time to reach us since the beginning of the universe. Beyond this distance, light hasn't had enough time to travel to us yet, so we can't observe objects or events that are farther away. This is why the observable universe is often described as having a diameter of about 93 billion light-years – it's the maximum distance from which light has had time to reach us. Anything beyond that distance is currently beyond our observational capabilities.

Person 1: It was Interesting to read that the NASA satellite sent the last picture before shutting down the camera to conserve energy was at 15 billion miles from Earth. The time it took to reach Earth was 21 hours (moves at the speed of light). 

Pluto is not even a light-day away!!

With that logic it is almost unimaginable what 93 billion light years distance would be!!!
