How far is heaven?

 

Did you know that The Puppeteer that is holding the end of the string that holds the world is at a point that is 4.6 × 10²⁷ metres (or, 490 billion light years) away?

Now, this is 10.5 times the radius of the observable universe (that is. far larger than the universe we can see). That’s how far heaven is located. Perhaps, that is the reason we never see the Puppeteer(being outside the observable universe).

How did I arrive at this figure?

I asked OpenAI this: The yugs are more like a pendulum than a circle, right? If we add all the yugs' days and make a pendulum (with the bob as the earth) with 'g' at 9.81m/sec², what would be the length of the string from where the bob is hanging? Which yuga / which year would be at the bottom most in the pendulum swing?

OpenAI calculated thus:

Nice idea — fun to make myth + mechanics meet. I’ll make one clear assumption (and then do the arithmetic):

Assumption I use: the “total of all the yugs” = one Mahayuga = Satya (Kṛta) + Tretā + Dvāpara + Kali = 4,320,000 years (traditional Hindu scheme: 1,728,000 + 1,296,000 + 864,000 + 432,000).
I map the entire Mahayuga to one full period T of a simple pendulum with acceleration g = 9.81 m/sec².

A simple pendulum period:

T = 2π(√L/g)

L =  g(T/2π)²

Convert the Mahayuga to seconds: T=4,320,000 yr×(days/yr)×24×3600

Result:

Using 365 days / year

T ≈ 1.36236×10¹⁴ seconds

L ≈ 4.61×10²⁷ metres

To make those numbers easier to picture:

• L≈4.6×10²⁷metres  ≈ 4.9×10¹¹ light-years (≈ 490 billion light-years).
• That is ≈ 10.5 times the radius of the observable universe (i.e. far larger than the universe we can see).

That is how far heaven is located.

Which yuga / which year is the bottom-most point of the swing?

If you start the pendulum at one extreme at t=0 (start of the Mahayuga) then the pendulum is vertical (bottom-most) after T/4.
T/4 corresponds to one quarter of the Mahayuga in time:

4,320,000/4=1,080,000 years

So the bottom-most point occurs 1,080,000 years into the Mahayuga. Since Satya/Kṛta lasts 1,728,000 years, that 1,080,000-th year falls inside Satya/Kṛta — roughly a bit past the middle of Satya, well before Treta begins.

Just think about it, friends: Kaliyug will go in a jiffy…whoosh! But beware! We have to traverse it twice before we go into Dwapar yug: one on the upswing, one on the downswing.
