TIME AND THE ATOMIC LATTE

THE ANCIENT HINDUS were not so weird, really; they just experienced time differently from the way we do, from their brief truti of one millionth of a second to the staggering count of the mahamanvantara of 311.04 trillion years. And they saw it in circles. Circles were, for them, the key factor. Time circled itself, they believed, and what started at a point in space continued in a never-ending circle until it met itself where it had begun. The rishi (holy scholars) of ancient India invented a symbol for time—the serpent swallowing its tail. One great advantage with a circle is the lack of any final ending. With the end of the World Age prophesized by the ancient Mayans in 2012 fast approaching, we would do well to adopt the Hindu view.

While on the European-African side of the world the scholar Augustine (340–430 CE) was a powerful early church leader, Bishop of Hippo in North Africa, perhaps the most influential Christian since Paul of Tarsus, was teaching that time was a straight line with a beginning and an end. He prepared us for Charles Darwin’s linear view of evolution. We crawled from the slime of chaos and have been progressing in a straight line, which, in a logical extension of this thinking, will eventually end in a big whimper when everything runs out of energy and collapses into the end of time. The Hindu circle of time is much more elegant, and there is overwhelming evidence that they had a high and powerful science—a science culminating in nuclear bombs and the means to deliver them. Rockets and flying craft are described in Hindu history books and scientific texts in such detail that they could be reconstructed today, and quite likely are.

The brilliant scholar and philosopher Sri Aurobindu Ghosh (1872–1950) wrote, “European scholarship regards human civilization as a recent progression starting yesterday with the Fiji islander, and ending today with a Rockefeller, conceiving ancient culture as necessarily half-savage. It is a superstition of modern thought that the march of knowledge has always been linear. Our vision of prehistory is terribly inadequate. We have not yet rid our minds from the hold of a one and only God or one and only book, and now a one and only science.”

For instance, U.S. Col. Henry Olcott, cofounder with Helena P. Blavatsky of the Theosophical Society, wrote in 1881, “The ancient Hindus could navigate the air, and not only navigate it, but fight battles in it like so many war eagles combating for the domination of the clouds. To be so perfect in aeronautics, they must have known all the arts and science, including the strata and the currents of the atmosphere, the relative temperature, humidity, and density of the various gases.”

Frederick Soddy (1877–1956) was an English scientist who worked with the famous scientist Rutherford at McGill University in Canada and was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his contributions to the knowledge of the chemistry of radioactive substances. Soddy thought highly of the ancient Hindu Mahayana and Mahabharata.
