The Indian philosophy describes the origin of the universe from a primordial state of IshwatTattva that spread uniformly. The mixing of Purusha and Prakriti, representing energy and matter, in different ratios resulted in the three pillars of creation - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. These three basic elements in varying ratios then created the five elements that make up the physical universe. The oscillating universe theory proposed that the universe will expand until collapsing back in a "Big Crunch" and then repeat this expansion-contraction cycle indefinitely. However, further research showed the universe is continually expanding, not oscillating, and the theory ignores thermodynamics laws. Most scientists now believe the Big

3. What does it mean? The Indian Philosophy says that the first form was made up of IshwatTattva primarily spread unvaryingly throughout the universe. This gradually and uniformly resulted into the creation of the universe.

5. In a little more detail Purusha and Prakriti indentify as energy and matter and maybe could be the base of all creation. This unfold the truth that mixing of these two in different ratios resulted in Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, the three pillars of creation. Sattva has a great amount of energy and very little matter. Tamas on the other hand has less energy and lots of matter. Rajas has an equal amount of each.

6. In a little more detail (cont...) The presence of Sattva, Rajas, and Tams has been interpreted as Electron, Proton and Neutron. It is also believed that these three basic elements in different ratios created the five elements Air, Fire, Water, Ether and Earth. They say it can be observed directly by our Ten Indriyas, five Gyanendriyans, and five Karmendriyans.

8. Oscillating Universe Theory

9. What does it mean? The Oscillating Universe Theory says that the universe will keep expanding until the big crush. Then the Big Bang will happen again and again and again (etc).

11. Who created it? Richard Tolman was the creator of the Oscillating Universe Theory.

12. Is it true? This idea was very popular until the 70’s and 80’s but further research showed that the Universe is actually expanding day by day. Also the theory ignores the second law of thermodynamics.

14. Possible Mistake Many scientists also think that the big crunch won’t happen therefore removing the idea of the Oscillating Universe theory of the face of the earth.
