The Hindus were so developed scientifically in past that they created the exact time calculating system
"Nimesh" is the time it takes to blink an eye. This is the smallest unit of time (similar to seconds). Fifteen Nimesh add up to one "Kashth". Thirty Kashth’s equal a "Kaal", and thirty Kaal’s make a "Muhurt".
Thirty Muhurt’s sum up to a "Ahoratr". One Ahoratr constitutes a day.
Thus there are thirty Muhurts in a day (or in one Ahoratr) fifteen each for day and night.
A God Ahoratr (day) equals one man year. The first six man months- when Gods have their first half of a day is called "Uttar Yaan" and the next six man months - when Gods have their night is called "Dakshin Yaan".
Three hundred and sixty human years equal one God year. Thus 12,000 God years equal 4,320,000 man years. This is a "Maha Yug".
There are four major Yugas or periods/eras. Satya Yug, Tret Yug, Dvapar Yug and Kali Yug.
Satya Yug lasts 1,440,000 man years; Tret Yug for 1,080,000 ; Dwapar Yug for 720, 000 and Kali Yug for 360,000 man years. In addition ,there are other time periods between these four Yugas. These periods are referred to as "Sandhyamsh" and they last for 720, 000 man years. Adding up the four Yugas and the Sandhyamsh we get a total of 4,320,000 man years or a Maha Yuga.
One "Manvantr" equals seventy one Mahayugas. Thus there are 296,720,000 man years in a Manvantr.
One "Kalp" equals a thousand Mahayugas. Thus there are 4,320,000,000 man years in a Kalp. One Kalp corresponds to one Brahma day! Thus there are 8,640,000,000 man years in one day/night of Brahma. Between the time he opens his eyes- to start all over again. Time between creation and destruction.
That is a count of 8.64 billion years!! It is the same as calculated by present day science!! But even the present day science cannot divide this time period as done so, poetically and scientifically, by our ancient scriptures.
