Illusion of Time: Twin Paradox, Time Dilation, Gravity, Time Travel


Let’s come to the other very interesting phenomenon of Time Dilation. Time runs different for different people! It seems different for different observers, however most of the time we forget that time is just the distance travelled in space.  Let’s delve into it more:

2-star ship, 1 in motion and 1 in rest.  Both the ships fire a laser beam to the target. The moving ship fire a laser light when it passes through the stationary ship. According to Einstein, the speed of the laser light doesn’t depend on the motion of the ship, so we see both the beams travel side by side at the same speed. The laser beam from the stationary ship would travel more distance and therefore it takes more time to reach the target. Distance from a source to target for a moving ship is very less.

To make the speed same for both the ship, we need to change in distance and time. Speed is the just the distance measure in a time.

Speed==Distance/Time

For a moving ship the distance covered is 3 km and time taken is 1 sec for a light beam and for a stationary ship, the distance covered is 6 km and time taken is almost double the moving ship. For a stationary ship 2 sec are passed to hit the same target. 2 sec are taken by a stationary ship to hit the target which was hit in 1 sec by the moving ship.

Moving clock appears to run slow!


Twin Paradox

Imagine, on Earth there two twins. There is a space rocket travelling with the speed V, which is nearer to the speed of light. One twin sits on the space rocket and travel all along for the period of 5 years with the velocity V. He travelled a total distance of 3 light years in 5 years. He then takes a return journey to his twin brother, on the earth. He takes another 5 years to return to the earth with the speed V. They reunited after 10 years.

The twin on the earth doesn’t move in space; he only travel in time and that is 10 years on earth.  The other twin on space craft travel to the space and then return back to the earth. The total distance he covered was 3 light years in 10 years period. The moving twin covered the more distance in the same time period. Thus, it appears his clock moves slow and he gains ageing late. Though, the time spent is the same for both of them. One gains many accomplishments, knowledge and wisdom in less age while the others take whole years of life and don’t reach near to him. Some surely do time travel in life!

In ancient scriptures, I Human years== 1 Divine day (day & night) and 360 divine days ==1 Divine years.  When humans complete 1 years, Devas complete 1 day. That’s why they appears to us immortal!

When you are detached from this 3-dimensional world, you reached to the higher dimension, out of this space-time. You have the clarity of life and its events which helps you to join the dots of past, present and future. According to scriptures, there are 7 Lokas existed between Earth and the Sun and ultimate aim of every soul is to reach the Sun. Sun is the Atma, the energy of the source of creation. This is the first energy or vibration that occurred in eternal ocean of time. Incapable in deciphering, this was the timeless state of nothingness.  Brahman, Hirayangarbha or Mahakala is that ecstatic, eternal and blissful energy state which is all pervading.

Ancient scriptures say about the elementary particle composition of this “Universe”. “Sun and the rest of the universe are woven in string. What is that string that is Vayu.” Vayu that take the shape of every object in the universe. Vayu is not simple English air; in Vedic Sanskrit Vayu means which is all pervading. The whole universe is woven in a string. At elementary level, particles are associated with each other. These are the different combinations of energies which forms matter particles of this universe. There are 73% of energies are unmanifested, incapable to decipher in the present scenario. Needs enormous amount of temperature and pressure to create disturbance at energy level. 

Principals of nature remain constant everywhere. Nature changes other variants to make its laws constant. One Major principle of nature is first you see the cause and then see the effect. It applies on whole cosmos.


Let’s take an example for better understanding. If there are 2 stars A and B. A is 10 lightyears farther from an observer and B is 3 lightyears. If some event occurred at A and after a year another event occurred at B, which event we would see first? Event B would reach us before because it’s only a 3 lightyears father. Event A is still travelling and it’s still 6 years to see that event.


What happen if one event caused another event to happen? Can you see later event before you see the former?
The answer is No.  The event of A causes the event on B to happen.  Light from A comes direct to us. Event B doesn’t happen until the information for the causes arrived from A. The light cannot travel from A to B and then reaches to us.  So, you cannot see the effect happened on B before the cause reaches to it from A.

Sumerian gods and the corresponding Hindu gods





Hindu Gods and the Corresponding Sumerian Gods_6


Enki and Narayana

Enki is the Sumerian God of deep water, creation, wisdom, magic, and mischief. Eridu was the home of Enki and his temple was called E-abzu, an aquifer, from all life was believed to stem. In Indian milieu, life originated from Narayana's hiranyagarbha (golden egg) in a deep sea. It created Prajapati Brahma first and then creation goes further. 

Nara means water and Ayana means dwelling.
Enki was sometime considered male deity or sometime female. Enki adopted Sea faring people as his children and become their mother. Original divinity for Hunters and fisher folks of Arabian litterols was Abzu (fresh under water current) or Apsu. Abzu is broken in two as Ab= far and Zu= water. It a fresh and sweet water string. It is hypothesized that Abzu's attributes were later taken by Enki. Enki had taken all function s of Abzu and her fertilising power also. Enki became creator god and all creation stem in water.

Abzu, Saraswati and Enki

Goddess Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge and wisdom, flow like river/water stream in her purest form. In tantric tradition, Neela Saraswati is a form of Tara Devi in her fierce form. She is also called Bhava Tarini or crossing the ocean of life. She is far away from magic as all magic is her own creation. Saraswati is the veda mata and the three vedas are the parasakti or feminine supreme power of Vishnu.


In Akkadian cylinder seal, Enki was depicted with 2 streams of water flowing into each of his shoulders: one is Tigris and other is Euphrates. Alongside him are 2 trees, symbolising the male and female aspects. Here Enki was associated with flowing water of wisdom and knowledge that create and sustain life. Creating and sustaining life is the feminine aspects of Abzu. When did Enki replaced Abzu?

Utu was powerful Sun god for hunters and gatherers of Eastern Arabia. Eastern Semitic people were Angiras progeny. Utu himself was transition of Sherida (Dawn/Usha)-a female goddess. Most of ancient cultures and civilizations were matriarchal in nature because of their capability of generating life. Atri/Mohini adopted Utu as his children settled them at Eridu. Thus, Enki became their god and Abzu's attributes were transferred to him. Enki represented both male and female gender  and that complied with their own beliefs also.

En/An was the Semitic sky god or heaven god and Ki means Earth in Sumerian language.  Enki shows the exchange of Sumerians and Semitic beliefs and cultural cooperation.

Location of Dilmun or Ikshawaku


Exact location of Dilmun is highly debatable. One prime location could be Shatt-al-Arab or Arrvand river some 200 km in length, formed by the confluence of the Euphrates and Tigris in the town of Al-Qurnah. Then it get down to discharge water at Persian gulf. Take a note, ancient geography was quite different from what we see today. The Karun river, a tributary joins the waterways from the Iranian side. Between Quarnah and Basarah is Dilmun, in the midst of marshes.

In Arabic the word  Basarah means "the over watcher" over watcher of all 10 directions on his 10 ratha! The name is derived from the Aramaic word Basaratha, and its modern Arabic corruption is Basarah. Its meaning is place of huts or settlement. it  could be reeds huts and small settlements at marshy and wet land areas.

A number of scholars have suggested that Dilmun originally designated the eastern province of Saudi-Arabia. Eastern Arabia historically known as Al-Bahrain until 18 century. This region include south of Basarah along the Persian gulf coast and that included the regions of Bahrain, Kuwait, Al-Hasa, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Southern Iraq and Northern Oman. They were fisher folks of Arabian littoral.

Mohini &Rudra and their Kshatriya Sons

Lord Vishnu had taken Mohini avatar and married Storm God Rudra (Enlil). Enlil was the powerful Mesopotamian god which was adopted form of Semitic god Adad or Bel. Enlil was the son of Sky god "An". An was East Semitic God. He was referred to as 'Father of the Black Headed people'. He was father of Samarrans so was father of Sumerians (black-headed people).



Mohini is the female avatar of lord Vishnu. She was Atri too! They had a son named Kartikeya. He was a warrior God, commander of Devas army. He was Angaraka and Angaraka  is the son of Agni. Son of Agni is war god and commander of Gods like Neela was in Rama army and Dristhdumna in Pandavas and Skanda (Kartikeya) in Indra army and they crushed their enemies. 

Kartikeya's army won many wars for Yagneya Indra and established a powerful Kshatriya kingdom, Uruk. Yagneya was powerful Yagna god Indra who was Inanna of Uruk! So changing statuses of Gods from Enki to Inanna made civilization changes from Eridu to Uruk. Urbanization and new state formation had created stratified society, bureaucracy and central administration. Sumerian Kshatriyas  might and hegemony extended all over Sumer and surpassed Mesopotamia and Syria.

Dilmun and Ikshawaku


In Sumerian cuneiform, the mythical Dilmun was known as the bright and pure land. Dilmun was the land of abundant fresh water. It was known as land of rising Sun or where the sun rises first. It was a paradisaical land! It encompassed Behrain, Kuwait, Qatar, neighbouring Arabian coast and Persian gulf island. 

Bahrain in Arabic means twin water. Persian gulf is the salt water and Abzu or Apsu is an Arabian aquifer, is a fresh water stream. There are various theories have been given to identify the location of Dilmun. It's hard to get any substantial archaeological evidences to establish the exact location of Dilmun.  Climatic changes, several migrations, wars and civilization changes make archaeological findings a rare feat.

There were an extensive trade connection between Dilmun, Indus valley, Mesopotamia and Meluha. Dilmun seals are found at Lothal, Gujarat. Surprising things are weights and measures that were found at Dilmun were identical to those of Indus valley and not to Mesopotamia. There was more than mere trade connections between Dilmun and Indus-Saraswati civilization.

Dilmun appears first in Sumerian cuneiform clay tablet at the end of 4th millennium BC. The adjective Dilmiun is used to describe a type of axe and one specific official. Dilmunites were bow and axe carrier hunters. The elites of Dilmun civil were considered true royalty by the Mesopotamian. They were Kshatriya of Solar dynasty. They established first city at Eridu and cult of Enki. Dilmuns were the Ikshwakus! Connections and civilization exchanges between Sea faring people and Su people had long been established which gave rise to many cultures and civilizations around.

Our great heroes like Rama, Baharta, Sagara, Bhagiratha and many others belonged to Ikshawaku dynasty. Twenty to out of twenty four Jain Thirthankara belonged to this dynasty. Ikshawakus founded solar dynasty.

Ikshawaku's literal meaning in Sanskrit is sugar cane though in marshy land it represented REED. Reed is a tall, slender leave plant of grass family, which grows in water or on marshy ground. As the civilization developed and spread wide it would adopt  local norms and meanings as a substitute and weave stories around them, but the basic theme remain same in every culture.

Inzak was the chief god of dilimunite pantheon. He was the god of Agaru, a land in Eastern Arabia. He was a Saptarishi Angira. Their main cult centre was at Failaka island which is in Kuwait, the extreme southern end of Iraq.

Agni (Eastern Semitic) daughter (Angira daughter) had six sons by her Ikshawaku husband. Ikshawakus were the mixed breed of sea faring people and Samarrans/Su people. Ikshawaku's son expanded and created several other solar kingdoms.

 Among the six sons of Ikshawaku, the prominent one was illustrious Prajapati  Prachinbarhi. Atri son  is Prachinbarhi (the ancient fire) or Prachin Behrain.

Arabian littoral and Sumerians

The extreme south of Mesopotamia is extensive marshes and reed swamps which probably served as an area of refuge for displaced peoples after great deluge. Southern part is unsuitable for plant cultivation because of very low rainfall but these days overflow reservoirs and escape channels have regulated rivers for growing cultivation there.

Manu was the first human and the progenitor of humanity who was saved from great deluge by Matsya avatar Vishnu. He got refuge at the marshy land of Persian Gulf coast.

People living on Persian gulf coast were basically living amphibians life. They lived in reed houses near rivers and in wet land area. They lived a Kurma lives! They were hunters and fisher folks of Arabian littorals. They  survived on their might and their hunting skills to kill animals and fishes for their livelihood. They were first Kshatriyas and protector of their land and people. They started agriculture, built extensive canal systems, facilitated trade with foreign lands, and co-laboured with gods to maintain orders.

Vivaswan was  the ferocious kshatriya warrior from the land of Angaraka (Agaru-Arabia), well known for his Super human labours and heroism. He married Sang-gya or NinhurSang.  Ninhursang was the Earth goddess for Sumerians who  dwell on mountains. Enki/Atri married NinhurSang and established first city at Eridu.

Volume of trade had increased which facilitated the rise of many cities-states such as Kish, Nippur, Sippar, Isin, Larsa, Shurruppak, Uruk, Ur, Larak etc. Sumerian hegemony subsided other religions and other speakers but Sumerians.
