Grandma Science
According to Hindusim, time is measured in 'Kalpas' which is made up of 'yugas'. Here is the list of the various yugas and their time frame:
1 Krita Yuga = 17,28,000 years (4 times Kali yuga)
1 Treta Yuga = 12,96,000 years (3 times Kali yuga)
1 Dvapara Yuga = 8,64,000 years (2 times kali yuga)
1 Kali Yuga = 4,32,000 yearsTotal duration of four yugas = 43,20,000 years = 1 Mahayuga
1 Mahayuga = sum total of 4 yugas2000 Mahayugas = 1 Kalpa = 8,64,00,00,000 years
1 Kalpa = 1 day and night for god of creation, Brahma
Currently, nearly 1.95 billion years have elapsed in this Kalpa.
One thousand Mahayugas form one day of Brahma, i.e., 4.32 billion years. A similar expanse of time will make His one night.
According to modern science, a day has 24 hours which are made up of 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds.
1 day = 24*60*60 seconds = 86,400 seconds
Now,
1 Brahma day = 8,64,00,00,000 years
86,400 Brahma secs = 8,64,00,00,000 years
1 Brahma sec = 8,64,00,00,000/86,400 years = 1000 years
So a second in Brahma's day = 1000 years on earth.
Now, din't my grandma tell me that when I was a kid!!
