Hinduism, Science and the Cosmos: Did Ancient Texts Predict the Multiverse?

Did ancient Hindu texts really predict the multiverse? From the mysterious Nasadiya Sukta of the Rig Veda to enormous cosmic cycles, countless universes, and the strange story of King Kakudmi, this documentary explores the fascinating connections between ancient Hindu cosmology and modern ideas about the universe. We separate historical evidence from modern interpretations to discover what these ancient texts actually said—and whether their apparent parallels with modern science are genuine predictions or remarkable coincidences.
