Reading Srimad Bhagwatam and trying my best to understand it. It's so detailed and complex!
It's continually intriguing the scientist in me. E.g could Canto 3.11.5 be referring to the sun's nuclear fusion reaction, spectral absorption lines and radioactive decay!?

Canto 3.11.5: "Division of gross time is calculated as: two atoms make one double atom, and three double atoms make one hexatom. This hexatom is visible in sunshine which enters through holes of a window screen. One can clearly see the hexatom goes up towards the sky"

Makes me think of deuterium, which forms from 2 hydrogen atoms to create a "double atom". Combining with another hydrogen atom forms helium3, which then combines with another helium3 to form helium4 + 2 protons: 4 protons + 2 neutrons ie a "hexatom"
Sun's fusion reaction!

Sun's fusion reaction!
3/5
91% of the sun is hydrogen and most of the remaining 9% is helium4
The gamma photons created in this reaction are what light up our world ie "sunshine"!
Could "holes of a window screen" refer to the C, F, G', H and D lines of spectral absorption of hydrogen and helium?!

Could "hexatom goes up towards the sky" refer to how helium rises, like a balloon filled with helium?!
Could "Division of gross time" refer to timescales on which the sun's reactions happen, and particularly radioactive decay constants involved?!
