The time calculations in this section regarding the manifestation of the universe are correct because the scriptures say so. So what? The question is: have these calculations been realized and not just understood intellectually?

For example, why is 24 the basic number of time?
Because 8 X 3 = 24. Each Gun (there are three Gun - Sat, Raj, and Tam) folds 8 times to complete a circle and these 3 are ever together.

What is a fold? A fold is a bend of space which makes time, measurable motion.

But why 8 folds? Because matter (Aakaash) is flat like the surface of the ocean without waves. A wave must rise four folds before it can turn back upon itself making a circle.
