We live in this complex world, we know that this universe is made of 3-D space. what happens if we redefine this space structure. consider the followings.
In the past, people living on our planet, assumed that earth is flat and assgined 2 dimensions to describe any event occured on the surface of earth. some day a man tried to find its extremes, started an unlimited journey. amazingly he found the starting point rather than finding its end point. he declared that this 2-D surface is not flat but rounded about some 3rd dimension.
In our purana or epics, God Bramha ji tried to find out the end of this universe, surprisingly He came to starting point. It reflects the same behavior as occured on flat earth. Consequently we can say that this 3-D space is not flat but rounded about some other dimension can be named as 5-D ( 4-D is time dimension) in space-time. This supports our superstring theory making it more compelling to accept.
According to Einstein, Time (4-D in space-time) does not have a constant tick value everywhere in this universe, rather it depends on frame [of refernce]. On a fast moving frame, tick value of time will be large w.r.t our frame's tick value of time.
In purana, it is described that lord Shiva when opens and closes His eyelid, thousands of thousands of years on our planet are passed between this time span, clearly supports theory of Einstein's time variance. As tick value of time on lord shiva's frame is larger enough to meet it.[Somebody may try to calculate the speed of frame of lord Shiva ]
Our great people in the long past, all ready found the speed of light with their own units when transformed into todays' units apparently matched with known speed of light, clearly indicates that they some how were aware of these inherent secrets of Nature. So we should not overlook/neglect their achievements.
What do you think, when a story in our Hindu religion tells us that Hiranyaksh (elder brother of father of Prahlad) picked this earth and carried it into 'Patal lok', people assumed that 'Patal lok' is inside water but todays science clearly discards it even common people can discard as knowing the strucure of this world clearly. But Super string theory can explain it by saying that it must had been carried away through another dimension.(might be 5-D or other)
Super string theory, predicts that there can be only 10 or 26 dimensions in space , this number is itself a puzzle and totally depends on a number used by great Indian scientist Ramanujan in his mathematical theorem used in string theory.
In Hindu religion, it is said that there are 7 loks below earth ['Atala', 'Vitala', 'Sutala', 'Talatala', 'Rasatala', 'Mahatala', 'Patala' and 'Bhur'];
'Bhur' is earth, which is a reference to this 3-D universe. Others can be represented by a unique dimension.
As others have a substring 'tala' appended in each actually have a meaning--
'tala' means a surface which eventually represents a 2-D plane. Now if with respect to this 3-D universe, you add a new dimension, as you taking this universe as a reference it will behave asif it were a single line, it will make a plane w.r.t this 3-D universe with that added dimension. Hence supports some intuition regarding it.
Now calculating total dimensions:
total = 7 [ 'tala' ] + 3 [ 'Bhur'] + 1 [time]
= 11
Although there are 6 more loka above earth. they can all be fitted inside a number 26.
Hence supporting our Superstring theory's result.
Modern Physics and Hindu mythology may lead to secret information of nature.
