Sujatha,
Thanks for introducing me to Vedanta beliefs. Concepts born several thousands years ago, such as these, seem to have inspired ideas in our modern world. The cyclic model proposes that the big bang is a collision between branes that occurs at regular intervals. From my memory, its every trillion years or so. It perhaps inspires the fractal, a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale.
It is an informative essay and well written.
