Units Prana as Timekeeper-Uniting Ancient Indian Time Units with the 21 cm Hydrogen Line

Krishnamurthy Ramakrishnan

Abstract: This paper investigates the fascinating intersection of ancient Indian timekeeping and modern astrophysics by exploring how the traditional unit of time called prana aligns with the 21 cm hydrogen line, a cornerstone in cosmological measurements. Rather than viewing prana as a poetic metaphor, the study proposes it as a scientifically grounded unit, resonating with a universal frequency observed in neutral hydrogen. This perspective reimagines ancient Indian temporal frameworks as reflections of cosmic rhythms, offering an intriguing alternative to Earth-bound time concepts.
