The Jains were on to something over 11 centuries ago:

I am not a Jain, but I hold a deep respect for their duty of Ahimsa as being at the core of sensible living.
- screye 5y agoIsn't jainism about 2500 years old ?
- cf100clunk 5y agoHaving just looked up Jainism this time on Wikipedia I see that Jains claim that some of their greatest teachers were active far earlier than the time frames we've mentioned, even beyond any conventional count of years, but I'm not qualified to comment on their cosmology. I admire the duty of Ahimsa, so I mentioned it in the context of the parent post.
