Most elementary matter known to humankind in Universe is Hydrogen. Clouds of hydrogen when contracted by gravity, form stars. In the high temperature region of the core of star, Hydrogen fuses to form Helium. Under right conditions Helium also fuses to form Carbon, and then carbon fuses to form Oxygen, this goes on till Iron is formed. When the star dies in a supernova explosion other heavier elements known to us get formed in that explosion. All this matter is blown out in space, and then gravity pulls it back together to form new stars, planets and other celestial objects and then again plays its part in destroying them and the cycle keeps on running. Our solar system and therefore the Earth was formed this way. We are formed of all these elements that came out in a supernova explosion or an explosion like that. Because our solar system traverses such a path in Universe, conditions here on Earth are just right for these elements to react and form complex molecules constituting intelligent life forms. Humans are one such carbon based life form capable of deductive thinking, cognition, reasoning and meaningful action. Nitrogen, Oxygen and Hydrogen are other major components of Humans. Also, there is Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Phosphorous, Selenium, Chromium, Iron, Copper and other elements involved in forming a Human. Without a doubt cosmic forces are playing a major role in our existence.
Now the objects in space have finite lifespan. So, if we don't find another stable celestial object and region in space to live then we too will be destroyed when that object we are currently living on, dies. For example our Sun is a middle aged star, only half its life is remaining after which it will turn into a white dwarf, a glowing object of burning Carbon and Oxygen slowly fading away. As the Sun goes Earth may also get destroyed or at least life on Earth will not remain as we know it. So at that time for our own good we will have to find another planet to live on, unless it becomes possible to find a way to keep our solar system as it is for all eternity against the might and ways of the cosmos. Today we don't have either another habitable planet to live on or a way to keep our solar system intact for all eternity. We also haven't found immortality yet of which our ancestors said that there is a way to. So until we find a way, we continue to age and disintegrate back into our constituting elements a little after our formation.

Celestial objects are constantly undergoing several types of motion at the same time. For example our current Earth spins on its axis, rotates around Sun, rotates with Galactic Nucleus as the galaxy spins and also moves in space with Galaxy as it moves in the local cluster and then as the local cluster moves in local Virgo Supercluster within Laniakea Supercluster and also moves with the Local Supercluster as it moves under the influence of the Great Attractor. Thus Earth is constantly going through different regions of space in Universe. It’s possible that super clusters of the Universe are rotating around an axis, at least this appears to be the nature of forces in Universe, to keep things in cyclic movement. Observations made through advanced telescopes and probes tell us that Galaxies are going away from each other like two points on an inflating balloon at an accelerating rate. Reason of all this motion of objects in Universe is attributed to the energy of objects, the forces acting in Universe and other energies referred to as the dark energy, because we don't know what it is yet. Theory predicts and observations so far confirm that a spinning super massive black hole lies in the center of each galaxy. That's what powers our Milky Way’s pinwheel type shape and motion.
As Earth goes through these different regions of Universe, it goes through different environments which are bound to effect the environment on Earth and therefore its inhabitants. In fact, our ancestors talked about changes that happen on Earth as it passes through different space-times. They thought these changes to be cyclic leading to a final end and then a new beginning all over again. It’s interesting that modern science is pointing more and more towards the same conclusion which our ancestors already knew thousands of years ago. Earth amounts to smaller than a microbe against the size of galaxy and against the Universe it won’t even count. Imagine where do we Earthlings stand in all that is happening out there. But don't despair because we have brain with which we can master any number of universes and everything that exists. Right now in this region of space, human life on Earth is very limited to an average 70 human years. The time period during which Earth moves in such region of space was named Kaliyug by our ancestors. It is said that during this period Earth's climate becomes such that humans tend to be immoral and evil. These changes happen probably because of the new surroundings that Earth drifts into during its cyclic motion around the Galaxy and the Universe. It’s very easy for humans to fall into the trappings of immorality and evil during this period, and in this way lives get wasted very frequently. Those who want their good, carefully and with great effort keep themselves righteous and safe even during this period of Kaliyug.
It is said that Earth goes through four different kind of time periods known as the four Yugs namely Satyayug, Tretayug, Dwaparyug, and Kaliyug based upon the climate on Earth, nature, life and built of humans. For example the period during which Earth's environment becomes such that humans are intrinsically righteous, pure and sacred in their thoughts and acts, live for 100,000 years and death happens on will, climate is pleasant and favoring is called Satyug. It is calculated to last 4*4,32,000 human years. Then comes Tretayug lasting 3*4,32,000 human years, after that Dwaparyug lasting 2*4,32,000 human years and finally the present Kaliyug lasting 4,32,000 human years. These four Yugs in that order form a Chaturyugi or a Mahayug. 71 such mahayug form a Manvantar and 14 such Manvantars form a Kalp or a day of Brahma or an Aeon. After that a great deluge happens. Most of the life forms get destroyed. This period is known as the night of Brahma or naimittika and lasts another Kalp. After that creation and life begins anew. A deluge happens at the end of each manvantara too after which a new Manu is created. A Brahma day comprises of 14 Manvantars of day and 14 Manvantars of night that is 2 Kalps. Clearly a day of Brahma lasts much longer than a human day on Earth. This implies that time for Brahma passes at a much slower rate than it passes for us humans on planet Earth here. The modern science too is beginning to corroborate this as scientists are coming to conclude that time passes at different rate for different objects depending on their speed and the strength of gravitational field they are in. They are saying that time may be passing at a much slower rate near the super gravity of super massive objects such as a black hole than it passes in weaker gravitational fields of places like Earth. Our ancestors talked of different Lok such as Swarglok, Brahmalok where the environment and everything else is much better than on Earth here, but too difficult to get to. Only the most knowledgeable of the scholars had the ability to get to these higher Lok or dimensions in different parts of the Cosmos in no time at all. Also they said about the ability to travel into future and to past. Modern science too is coming to conclude that it may be possible. Today they are talking about worm holes as a means of time travel and a means of traveling between two distant parts of universe in a flash. They are also talking about traveling at a speed close to the speed of light. May be celestial objects like Black holes and worm holes, are a gateway to higher dimensions like Brahmalok. It's highly possible, considering the way things are going in modern science.
Our ancestors said that ordinary humans who shun the righteous path of knowledge and delve into the physical world looking for pleasure and thinking of the possession of destructible objects as a means of real power and pleasure remain entrapped in the miseries of a human form and the cycle of creation and destruction, never knowing the real power and pleasure over life and death, over different dimensions. The great scholars of the ancient times by traversing the path of knowledge, often referred to as the path of light, gained powers of creating physical wealth and health at their will, gained powers to obliterate whole armies of wrongdoers in just a blink of an eye, gained powers to live as long as they willed and gained powers to travel between times and different dimensions or loks, in a moment. Modern science is beginning to indicate that it may be true, all that our great ancestors said.
We humans in this present Kaliyug, which is the 28th Kaliyug of the 7th Manvantar of the present Kalp of the 1st day of the 51st year of Brahma, are born under the influence of all the cosmic forces, we live our lives and then death comes and new and new humans keep getting formed, keep coming to this world and keep going out nearing their death moment by moment day by day. One day the Earth itself is going to get destroyed and the sun and the solar system. That all mighty all knowing divinity manifests itself into different forms, like humans and then changes to other forms from the one it took earlier. This is what people see as sequence of life and death. The fools among us expel that divinity from within themselves through their wrong deeds and thoughts, the wise ones nurture it through righteousness and good knowledge becoming equipped with the power and wealth of the cosmos, becoming one with it. This appears more and more real and sensible with the progress in modern science as it unravels more and more mysteries of nature.References:
