That relatively modern scientific view is heavily influenced by the Judeo-Christian linear conception of time as having one beginning and one end. The Vedic concept of cosmic time is that it is endlessly cyclical with many creations, partial devastations, and total dissolutions ...
At the time of total dissolution (end of Brahma's life...) all the material energies and spirit-souls with material desires wind back up into the body of MahaVishnu in an unmanifest state and then are manifest again when it's time for new creations...) |

Kinda scary stuff, thinking the White House might be using end times stuff to plan foreign policy. Isn't the president of Iran doing the exact same thing?
To think I was scared back when the big wigs in the White House during Reagan/Bush used to read Tom Clancy to get their hard on.
People who think the world is going to end have a way of bringing about the end. Heaven's Gate, Jonestown, Branch Davidians... |
Hatw to break it to you, but the world WILL END.
EIther by the second coming, and if not then by this:
In a long time from now the Earth's star the sun will have expended its nuclear fuel and unable to balance its internal reactions will swell up to the size of a red giant star engulfing mercury, venus and Earth, with Mars becoming the new mercury.
Then after the last bit of nuclear fuel is spent, the star will shrivel and become a lifeless dwarf.
The world will have ended. |
Not if we move it, or replenish the sun, or Rteacher is right 
Ofcourse it will end, I think Mindmetoo is more talking about a biblical kind of ending and in the nearer future than the sun exhaustings it's fuel and going nova. |
