Hindu concept of the origin of the Universe

1. Do anyone know a documentary about origin of universe in Hinduism?
2. Nice video on Hinduism, it destroys Christianity, Islam and any religion that claim superior to Hinduism.
3. "The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity."......................Carl Sagan the man seen in this video :) 
4. He says (0:27) "It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, NO DOUBT BY ACCIDENT, to those of modern scientific cosmology." I wonder how Carl Sagan could say "by accident" :). Indian time scales were arrived at mathematically - though we should agree that we've lost most of the assumptions/postulates that were used. Apart from this remark, excellent way of correlating the hindu ideas with modern cosmology!
5. Meanwhile… elsewhere… there are an infinite number of other universes… each with its own god… dreaming the cosmic dream… These great ideas are tempered by another perhaps still greater it is said that men may not be the dreams of the gods but rather that the gods are the dreams of men.
6. There is the deep and the appealing notion that the universe is but the dream of the god who after a 100 Brahma years… dissolves himself into a dreamless sleep… and the universe dissolves with him… until after another Brahma century… he starts… recomposes himself and begins again the dream… the great cosmic lotus dream.
7. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma: 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the earth or the sun, about half of the time since the big bang. And there are much longer time scales still..
8. Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, no doubt by accident, to those of modern scientific cosmology.
9. this is a 1980 video,from the series cosmos:a personal voyage.
10. No one is absolutely Right; einstein was against big bang ; segan thought universe will contract collapse ; Everytime each one thinks he understands universe its throws a surprise ,now guys at cern have found particles that travel faster than speed of light.
11. than buddha was wrong, everything is birth and death,duality 
12. @Syychro Whatever the case is, he obviously has an immense admiration for this religion and philosophy. It is common in general among astronomists and physicists today. Shrodinger for instance was a follower of Vedanta thought. Either way... 
13. @ChowMeinChowdown 1.Try watching History Channel's series on Ancient Aliens.It is on Youtube. 2. Also watch Dr. John Mack's series on The Experiencers and his series on Dualism. Do write after you have watched these, whether it has any impact.
14. @safronfield From where, if I may ask, do you derive this knowledge?
15. Dr. Param Singh's theory of the "Big Bounce" is based on this 3000 year-old Indian Vedic/Hindu cosmology of Cyclical Universe. watch?v=c7vTQ3Z9fmY
16. @Syychro Haha I totally agree man. Ive had 1000s of nutjobs like these shamelessly misquoting Sagan
17. @AlphaRoyalty LOL! So true!
18. A highly advanced civilization which had more knowledge than us existed once. They lived and vanished from the face of this earth. Just as we will. A future dumber civilization may argue that our civilization never existed.
19. @Syychro it could be that the Cosmologist by accident stumbled upon the mysticism of the Hindu religions. Now cosmologist are saying the big bang is not coming from nothing but something and that its expansion is from a wave, which is the breath of God.
20. You do realize that he said : "It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, no doubt, by accident, to those of modern scientific cosmology." NO DOUBT BY ACCIDENT. He said this right at the beginning. Come on people, stop hearing what you want to hear, hes merely talking about how its interesting that Hinduism happened to get the timescale right. Some religion had to - by chance- and by chance, it was hinduism.
