● The ancients generally believed that the sky was round and the earth was square; Buddha said that the earth is not square, but round, and it is called' Earth Wheel'.
After that, science developed, and it was really round, called' Earth'.
According to the records in Huayan Sutra and Brahma Sutra, the world in China and Tibet is like a cloud and boundless.
Einstein, a famous mathematician and physicist in the modern world, proved that the universe is a four-dimensional continuum with mathematics, and thought that the universe is expanding, and it is extremely grand and even endless! Citing the theory of relativity, he explained that mass and energy represent a static universe and a moving universe, and their intricate combination forms an unpredictable universe. This is quite close to the endless worldview of Buddhism.
Buddhism says that 10 billion sumeru, 10 billion sun and moon make up a world of 3 thousand, which is just a Buddha turning to earth.
The so-called' three thousand worlds' means that a thousand solar systems are a thousand worlds, a thousand Hanazono Sakura worlds are a thousand worlds, and a thousand middle worlds are a thousand worlds. Modern astronomers have detected that there are nearly one billion stars in the Milky Way that shine like the sun, and it is estimated that there should be as many as thirty billion. In the space of the solar system, there are countless nebulae and galaxies, and each planet has one or two satellites. This coincides with the figures of tens of billions of sumeru and tens of billions of sun and moon in Buddhism.
● Buddhist scriptures also say that the world is boundless and all beings are boundless.
1968, jocelyn Bell, a member of the research team of antony hewish, an astrophysicist at Cambridge University, discovered the mysterious radio signal from outer space. This is different from the stable signals sent by planets in the past. The signal received by Bell is pulsating, and it is an image that appears regularly every fifteen seconds. So many people believe that she has found evidence of the existence of creatures in outer space. According to the team's induction, this pulsating electric wave comes from a rotating planet 200 light years away from the earth (the speed of light is 299 kilometers per second, 800 kilometers per second, and the distance traveled in one year is called a light year, which is equal to 940 kilometers or 550 billion kilometers). Because of her discovery of life in outer space, hewish and his adviser Sir martin ryle won the Nobel Prize in Literature of 1974.
● Buddhism divides the universe into three realms, namely, the realm of desire, the realm of color and the realm of achromatic. The world of desire is the world where all beings who are greedy for food and drink live; The color world is the world where all beings who are not greedy for sex and food but still have color bodies live; There is no color world, that is, there is no color body, but living in the world where all beings live in meditation.
Modern science and technology have been able to visit the Milky Way and extragalactic systems through electron optical telescopes, collect radio waves from the second universe (antimatter universe) and the third universe (unknown nature) different from ours, and even intercept planetary telecommunications from five billion light years away!
People are born and die, and the world is successful, alive, bad and empty.
Professor Fred Hoju, a cosmophysicist at Cambridge University, UK 1964 published a paper in the Royal Society, put forward his new theory of gravity and explained the origin of the universe. He believes that stars and the Milky Way may have beginnings, evolutions and endings, and every planet in the universe is going through a cycle in its life, that is, regrouping after the Big Bang. In addition, the primitive explosion theory put forward by Liu Mei Taylor, a professor at Leuven University, and convinced by most scientists also holds that the universe has a process of origin, development and destruction. These are all consistent with the Buddhist worldview.
Once, the Buddha was sitting on the bank of the Ganges River, and his disciples brought him a bowl of water. He told his disciples, "There are 84,000 bugs in a bowl of water."
It was not until the end of the fifteenth century that scientists invented the microscope and looked into the water, only to find that there were indeed countless bugs (bacteria) in it.
● The most valuable thing is that Buddhism points out that everything in the universe is the' source of emptiness'.
"Primitive" is a combination of various factors, that is, everything is born of a combination of various conditions. Sexual emptiness' means that everything born of many factors has no real self. Factors gather to produce, and factors disperse to destroy.
Prove all the facts that everything in the universe really originated from emptiness. Take the human body as an example. Buddhism says that the human body consists of four elements: soil (solid), water (liquid), fire (temperature) and wind (gas). According to modern chemistry, an adult's body is composed of 16% carbon, 8% hydrogen, 3% nitrogen, 1.5% calcium, 1% phosphorus, 0.5% other elements and 70% water.
Furthermore, scientists use chemical methods to decompose all objects and come to the conclusion that many tiny particles are called' molecules' and they are made up of smaller particles' atoms'. Therefore, scientists have come to a conclusion that all objects are initially composed of homogeneous or heterogeneous atoms (later found in the smallest atom, there are still factors, protons and quanta), and then all objects are composed of molecules. Doesn't this conclusion of scientists prove what Buddhism says: everything from dust to the universe is born (there is) when it gathers, and it is destroyed (empty) when it disperses?
