The distinction of measuring the time in a scientific manner is achieved only by Bhāratīyas. Time has been measured from the smallest dimension to infiniteness. Even Time is envisioned as God and venerated. Paramēśvara was extolled as ‘Mahākāla’, the very embodiment of Time.

1 day is divided into 24 hōras. Based on this only, later a day is divided into 24 hours.
आरुणो अरोचनो मासक्रिन् - मासानां चन्द्र मासानां च कर्ता भवति !!
Fortnights, months, and years are counted based upon the movement of Sun and Moon.
Coz it is hard to count fortnights based on Sūrya Siddhānta,
Time is divided giving names to twelve months & 60 years.
Once the cycle of sixty years is complete, they repeat themselves.

Based on the transformations in nature, one-year time is divided into 6 seasons.
Vasanta - chaitra, vaisākha
Grīṣma - jyēṣṭha, āṣāḍha
Varṣa - śrāvaṇa, bhādrapada
Śarad – āśvīyuja, kārtīkamu
Hēmanta – mārgaśira, puṣya
Śiśira – māgha, phālguṇa

Indian scriptures scientifically detail how to carve out one’s lifestyle based on seasonal changes.
Based on the arrangement of stars in the celestial sphere, the twelve zodiacs starting from Aries to Pisces formed. During the rotation of earth around Sun, Saṅkramaṇa is formed whenever Sun enters into that specific zodiac.

Two among them are very prominent –
1. Makara saṅkramaṇa day when Sun enters into Capricorn

Makara Sankranti is celebrated as ‘Sankranti’ festival (Pongal).
āyana:
‘āyana’ means journey. One year is divided into two āyanas –
1. Uttarāyana and
2. Dakṣināyana.
The Indian Time measurement didn't stop with years, but went forward to calculate the Yugas.
![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EphFpMgUUAI4K75.png)
Four yugas are mentioned taking the above yugas as parts within them. They are – Kr̥ta, trētā, Dvāpara & Kali.
2. trētā – 12,96,000 years
3. Dvāpara – 8,64,000 years
4. Kali – 4,32,000 years.
Combined, all these four yugas is called one ‘Mahā yuga’ = 43,20,000 years
Time is relative.
1 yr on earth is equal to 1 day for gods.
71 mahā yugas is 1 manvantara.
14 manvantaras are mentioned in our scriptures & each has diff Indra as head of gods.

1,000 mahā yugas is called 1 kalpa.
1 kalpa is day & another kalpa is night for Brahma.
Lifetime of Brahma, the Creator 1Mahā Kalpa – 311,040,000,000,000 years
![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EphL8UZU8AYSrXr.png)
Current Manvantara – Vaivasvata, the 7th manvantara
Kalpa – Nighttime of Brahma
Mahā Yuga – 28th Mahā Yuga
Current Yuga – Kali Yuga
Current Year – 5121 year in Kali Yuga

and the entire universe present at that time
dissolves into the Supreme. Again, creation
starts.
This is the ‘Cycle of Time’.
Details of Śakas :
Derived from the rule of great emperors, (not based on Christ),
1. Yudhiṣṭhira śakamu – Began in 3102 B.C. & continued for 3044 years
2. Vikrama śakamu – Began in 57 B.C. & continued for 135 years
Future śakas are also determined.
4. Vijayābhinandana śakamu – Duration is 10,000 years
5. Nāgārjuna śakamu – Duration is 400,000 years
6. Kalki śakamu – 821 years before the end of kali yuga.
Further scientific explorations of Bhāratīyas enabled them to establish the relationship between timelines of people living on this earth in relationship with stars & planets present in space.

So it turns out that an organization I thought was doing good work, the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (associated with Center for Inquiry, James Randi, and Martin Gardner) was actually caping for pedophiles. Uhhhh oops?
Since this, bizarrely, turned out to be one of my longest videos ever (??) here's a quick thread to sum it up for those of you like myself with short attention spans. 1/10
In the '90s the False Memory Syndrome Foundation was founded to call attention to the problem of adults suddenly "remembering" child abuse that never actually happened, often under hypnosis. Skeptics like James Randi & Martin Gardner joined their board. 2/10
A new article reveals that the FMSF was founded by parents who had been credibly and PRIVATELY accused of molestation by their now-adult daughter. They publicized the accusation, destroyed the daughter's reputation, and started the foundation. 3/10
The FMSF assumed any accused pedo who joined was innocent, saying "We are a good-looking bunch of people, graying hair, well dressed, healthy, smiling; just about every person who has attended is someone you would surely find interesting and want to count as a friend" 😬 4/10

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
