"Matter and energy were known by Jains to have been interchangeable long before Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity."

- Is it just me, or is this statement somehow biased? --82.139.47.117 10:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Even though the statement is true to a large extent, I understand your concern. Statements like this shouldn't be worded in such a way as to promote Jainism, and should be cited. --Qmwne235 23:21, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reorganisation plan

As this article is in a mess and does not provide accurate version of the Jain cosmology and Jain geography, I suggest a following re-org plan

1. Jain conception of Universe
   1. The Concept of reality – the constituents of the Universe
   2. Jain Geography (This should be a different article also)
2. Time Cycle
   1. Description of Aras
   2. Time scales and units of measurements
3. 63 Salakhapurusa or Illustrious persons

Images and charts

• Jain universe
• Maps of Jain geography
• Time Cycle
• Units of measurement in time
