Alex,

The terms looks like Thai transliteration of the Pali terms, as follows:

>
> > 1) Sangwat-asankheyya kappa = sa.mva.t.ta asa.nkheyye kappa (the
> incalculable age of rolling back of the universe) = collapsing universe
>




> 2) Sangwat-tathayee-asankheyya kappa = sa.mvatta-.t,.thayii asa.nkheyyakappa (the incalculable age of the rolled back universe): the collapsed
> (stable) universe (or the big crunch)
>



> 3) Wiwat-asankheyya kappa = viva.t.ta asa.nkheyya kappa (the incalculable
> age of the rolling open universe) = evolving or expanding universe
>



> 4) Wiwat-tathayee asankheyya kappa = viva.t.ta-.t,.thayii asa.nkheyyakappa (the incalculable age of the rolled open universe) = the evolved
> (stable universe)
> >
>

What we have here is the conception of an pulsating universe, spoken by the
Buddha some
2500 years ago!

> May all be well and happy.
