Georges Lemaitre thought the universe may have begun from a kind of ” primordial atom ” he impressed Einstein..
But …

Not from an atom per say ….although the complete origin of all the multiple universes is situated both within every atom and at the same time outside , including all the universes .
Rather, the Vedas indicates , its
more like a rush of energy from another plane or dimension , a devolved energy, and devolved light bringing electomagnetic energies , essential for an  atomic and classical existence the founder of everything.
This is the Vedic explanation.

When the cyclic universe first manifests a different time period is in place , it’s called Satya  Yuga . The living beings are highly elevated in their consciousness and spend their time in blissful states via yogic meditation while living extremely long lives .They travel out to the higher planets , where they may have originated from  , or they may traverse to parts of the spiritual world  called the Vaikuthas .

Certainly , those personalities  were living simply  with  an absence of  factories or nine to five jobs along  with huge  mortgages. They had greater things on their minds . Our ancestors are always  wrongly depicted  by the Darwinians as backwards , but that could not be further from the truth the Puranas tell us .

As time moves , Treta  yuga begins, it has a shorter life span experience , and the slight balance tips towards earthly living occur from the  spiritual .  Then, in time, a  further slip occurs  as the universe progresses into Dwarpa yuga, and more materialism occurs.  Then  further into  Kali yuga , where we currently are .With short life spans and disturbed minds . Currently , we are losing touch with our consciousness capacities and thinking ourselves only made of  matter .

Universes within the multidimensional regions are operating differently, and the time periods  vary in each of them.

When you die , you can find yourself in Satya yuga in a different universe ..

The beauty of the properly understood Varna Ashram social and spiritual mobility systems was that the most sensitive,  intelligent, and caring compassionate person’s led the way and illuminated  all of society.

The democratic systems can be a system of the uneducated voting in the uneducated who cancel out the beneficial intelligentsia. Currently, that is  where we stand today. Look at the world
