What I am trying to say is, the start of BC was not calculated correctly according to some Hindu mythologies, we are now at 2009 but actually we are at 30009, since the start was calculated very late. According to the Mayans and the Aryans of Asia, we are not in the correct time zone.

I am a published writer in Europe [Non-fiction]. Mostly, though, I write screenplays and novels under the pseudonym "Rhys Mandon." [Please note: "Rhys" is pronounced - for my pseudonym - ris as a homophone for "risk." The first three letters of "Mandon" is "Man": thus, inverted, the man who who will take chances (in order to achieve something of value).] I am currently working on a screenplay, titled "A Stolen Star," which "begs" the question "Why do some people die young?" [Sort of, within your discussion, why do some stars die "young?" As a writer, I very consciously allude - either directly or implicitly - to scientific thought, drawing analogies to given "facts" and/or theories. This said, I was and am most intrigued by your dialog about the birth, life and "death of stars." I'm especially - in a figurative sense - "haunted" by your discussion of pulsating variable stars and the complicated physics going on - that, analogously, radiation and gravity are playing tug-of-war with the star's atmosphere. And, as you said "It's something really cool ..." because, analogously, it's ["The atmosphere of the star...] pushing outwards and inwards..." "...expanding and contracting like a beating heart." Your discussion here, then, combined with present scientific perceptions about supernovae and the Milky Way's "stolen stars" will be the analogous heart of my story/screenplay. [An example of drawing - within a fictional context - analogies to science: I once quipped to someone that we shouldn't be surprised by human violence - which is often apparently random and "indiscriminate" - because much of it seems to parallel the apparent random and "violent" activity in the universe.] May I thank you for your informative and intriguing discussion spiced with some wry observations, Barry P.S. I am - now-and-then - haunted by memories of a friend who died needlessly on some hospital operating table somewhere, Dr. Orville Bryant: physicist; American hillbilly turned "Renaissance Man;" associate at Chicago's Fermi Lab; and, Yeshiva graduated Rabbi fluent in Hebrew and ancient biblical texts. Orville, a friend, who died "inexplicably" [The surgeons' "explanation"] in his early 40's. Of course, we can add to among those who died young: Mozart; Beethoven; Gershwin; Carl Sagan; Alexander the Great et al, et al... - sort of like Fraser exclaiming, "That's not fair!" To which Pamela replied, "Life is rarely fair, however." Hello… I am a published writer in Europe [Non-fiction]. Mostly, though, I write screenplays and novels under the pseudonym "Rhys Mandon."
