The universe is not a static entity; it breathes, evolves, and transforms in cycles of creation and dissolution. In The Cosmic Breath: Black Holes, Pralaya, and the Energy Cycles of the Universe, Sandeep Chavan explores this eternal cosmic rhythm, drawing compelling connections between modern astrophysics and ancient Vedic cosmology to offer a profound new perspective on the structure and fate of the universe.
At the heart of this exploration lies the mystery of black holes-once considered cosmic endpoints, now emerging as potential regulators of energy and time. Chavan challenges the singularity paradigm, proposing instead that black holes function as structured energy equilibria, mirroring the Vedic concept of Pralaya, the dissolution phase that precedes cosmic rebirth.
Through ten interconnected chapters, the book delves into:
The Cyclic Nature of the Universe - How Pralaya aligns with modern theories like the Big Crunch, Big Bounce, and cosmic inflation. Black Holes as Cosmic Portals - Exploring whether black holes are not just destructive forces but key to recycling energy across space-time. Time and Reality - Investigating time distortion near black holes and its resemblance to Kaal Bhairav, the Hindu deity representing the end of time. Dark Energy and Cosmic Expansion - Examining how dark energy may not be an unknown repulsive force but a structured energy flow, echoing the ancient idea of Prana (universal energy). The Future of Space-Time Science - Challenging the mechanistic view of the cosmos and advocating for a new paradigm that integrates metaphysics and physics.
By bridging ancient insights with modern discoveries, The Cosmic Breath invites readers to rethink their understanding of space-time, energy, and the very fabric of existence. It questions whether the universe follows an infinite cycle of expansion and contraction-a cosmic breath ensuring perpetual renewal.
Beyond scientific exploration, Sandeep Chavan presents a philosophical journey, encouraging curiosity, open-mindedness, and interdisciplinary thinking. This book urges readers to look beyond conventional physics and consider whether cosmic evolution, energy balance, and consciousness are interconnected forces shaping the universe.
With an engaging, fluid narrative, The Cosmic Breath is for scientists, philosophers, and seekers alike-anyone drawn to the mysteries of black holes, the origins of time, and the grand cycles of the cosmos.
