| dc.description.abstract | According to the current scientific consensus, universe formed 15 bya (billion years ago), which is 1500 Crore years ago, in the so-called “big bang hypothesis.” Sun and the solar system including Earth formed 4.567 bya, which is 456 Crore years ago. According to Vedas, age of earth is 1.97 billion years (precisely 197,29,49,116 years, in year 2015), which is much closer to the current understanding rather than 6019 years, as calculated by 17th Century Vice Chancellor of University of Cambridge, John Lightfoot [1]. Soon after the earth formed, a giant Mars-sized body “Theia” collided with our planet in so-called “giant impact hypothesis” (4 bya) ejecting a huge mass of earth to the space, that resulted in a giant crater on this planet, which would soon turn out to be the Pacific Ocean, and ejected mass became moon | en_US |
