The day of reckoning has arrived.

[Angrboda]

After so many years that most of you guys praise science as the panacea to human problems
now is time to show that you know something about science.

Here are three of the very basic questions.

1) In the existence of this universe of ours in which order the fundamental factors came.
The matter, the water, the light-energy, the air or the space?
(Did the matter came first or last and what about the other factors?)

2) And why one factor came first and the next follow?

3) What is the best way to understand how the above universal factors are positioned or arranged?

Remember that I did not say anything about a creator so let us concentrate on science alone.

I think I said science is the pancreas to diabetic problems.....

I might be wrong but aren't "The matter, the water, the light-energy, the air or the space" all matter/energy? Feel free to chime in you other science pancreas guys.

In Sanskrit language, meaning of word "element" is defined as "quality of cosmic energy". Therefore according to five element theory, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space are nothing but the names of five qualities of cosmic energy. When the cosmic energy tend to take form, it has to undergo sequential phases. At a particular phase the cosmic energy have some specific qualities with a specific form which is known as an Element.
