Enclosed universe, infinite space, the accuracy of cosmic calculations using limited senses and parallax measurements.
Many ancient cultures speak of the universe being enclosed with lower , middle, and upper planetary systems within a shell.
Outside this universal shell , they thought , was the place that Divinity had His residency.
The Greeks and later the Arabic cultures as well as a Vedic culture and other cultures from the South Americas held similar understandings , thus their cultures were intertwined and evidence of a much earlier concept of a global world can be thought of .
When the Roman empire conquered most of Europe, taking within their cultures some aspects of Christianity, some or most of these ways of looking at our universe came to decline and when finally Roman empire came to an end , Christians predominanted and scientific thinking outside the bible came to an end . But the old Arabic and Greek texts were still available, and the Mogal empires preserved some of this universal thinking, which was theological in nature
The Renaissance period gave a rebirth to science and a rethinking of the universe . Modern geometric systems and euclidean math was the new way of looking at life , so much so , that God was pushed out the picture, and so was dualism, the mechanistic Darwinian world had begun, scientific materialism, that used math and mechanistic thinking , placed our stars millions of miles away, and a concept of an infinite space, with no God outside of a universal shell . If there were a God , some thought, it’s probably an impersonal energy . The idea of a separate mind to matter was written off because the mind could not be measured , and math could not be applied .
Measurements of the distance of planets in a multidimensional space, as spoken about by Lisa Randall the Harvard Prof, may not be so easy, the laws of physics are said in the Vedas to operate differently in different parts of the universe, so what is far is near ,what is near is far in a multidimensional universe.
The ancient culture and sciences should not be discarded and rubbished , and replaced by scientific materialism, which cannot even account for a mind , but rather believe it to be simple neurons firing in a mechanistic mathematical brain , these events happening by chance events in a chance universe , this mechanistic veiw could be said to be ludicrously absurd , and discards the notion of intelligence and obvious design in just about everything, as well as perfect mathematics , where there is perfect mathematics you can bet your bottom dollar there is a perfect mathematician behind it .
The third Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, and the chapter entitled The fundermental principles of material nature is a summary of universal events.
