NASA, considerable progress in understanding what goes on in universe,

Trillions of Dollars spent in explorations, grants etc, science will

always fall short of ultimate truth. Read entire article:

anyway, science isn't driven by a search for the ultimate truth so

much as it is looking for more data

and yes, the data-stream is infinite, but also it continually changes

- call it a primary feature of samsara or prakrti

 

as Lord Buddha point out, change is fundamentally at cause for much

of human misery (dukha), because we fail to account for it

 

in other words, as we study the data stream, it is constantly

changing upon itself, and thus the more we look for some externally

derived truth, the further we actually attain the fruit of our search

- at best what we will have is a collection of changeable opinions of

which we have a variable degree of confidence

 

human society clearly needs a reference point, and so we rely upon

externally-derived human constructs

 

some of these, the best in my opinion, relate to living in harmony

with our immediate physical environment, which is exactly what

Ayurveda maintains

 

as such, observing and celebrating the natural transitions of the

earth, at the right time, is bearing witness to an amazing cycle that

influences us to the core of our being

 

as we have moved further and further away from living in this natural

relationship, the more elaborate and inflexible our constructs have

become, and by each degree these constructs have led us away from our

relationship with the natural rhythms of the earth, sun and moon

 

although not as obtuse as modern culture generally, the current

practice of nirayana astrology is a case in point

as a fixed zodiac, it is based on an astrological event that occurred

hundreds of years ago, depending on who you listen to

 

the difference in the position of the stars then and now is the

basis of the ayanamsa, of which there are many

 

unfortunately the current calculations used by all do not take

precession into account, and it is on this basis that many scholars

are suggesting a correction to the calendar:
