According to many interpretations within Vedic literature—particularly in Gaudiya Vaisnavism and some Vedanta schools—the material universe (matter) is viewed as a "block universe" where past, present, and future exist simultaneously, and the individual jiva-soul (anti-matter) experiences them sequentially, similar to driving on a pre-existing roadway where one can see from above its beginning, middle and end.

Here is a breakdown of the Vedic perspective on this concept:

1. Simultaneous existence of material time (The "Road") The Dream of Maha-Visnu: 

The material creation is often described as a temporary "dreamlike" state of its creator Maha-Visnu. Within this material world, all events—past, present, and future—are seen simultaneously by the Creator, Maha-Visnu because He eternally sees above the movement of material space-time (past, present and future)

The Analogy of a Map: 

Just as a person in an airplane can see the entire, already existing road from beginning to end, Maha-Visnu sees the entire timeline of the material universe at once.

The material world is a temporary container made of "matter" that houses the fallen individual jiva-souls (bodily units of living anti-matter) within a temporary material bodily vessel however, the individual jiva-souls originate from their eternal home, the Vaikuntha planets of Lord Visnu and Luxmi, and Radha and Krsna's Abode Goloka-Vrindavana (both living anti-matter): 

The material world (mahat-tattva) is a "block" that already contains all possible experiences.

2. The individual jiva-soul's Journey (The "Driver") Eternal jiva-soul: 

The individual jiva-souls (anti-matter) are eternal and not originally part of the material energy as explained above. 

Passing through Maha-Visnu's temporary material creation: 

The individual jiva-souls enter the "dreamland" of material creation and "drives" through it by accepting temporary material bodies, moving from one point to another, just as a car travels along a predetermined roadway.

Linear Experience, Cyclic Reality: 

While the cosmic time is actually cyclical (repeating universes), the individual jiva-soul experiences their life as a linear progression (birth to death).

3. The Goal: Breaking the cycle the "Road" is temporary: 

While the individual jiva-soul is eternal, the "roadway" (material world) is temporary and subject to decay.

Moving Beyond Time: 

The true goal of the individual jiva-soul is to escape the "roadway" of material time (matter), which is part of Maya (illusion) in the material world, and return to the spiritual world (anti-matter), which exists in an "eternal now" free from time and decay.

While some interpretations focus on the simultaneous existence of time, all Vedic traditions agree that the individual jiva soul is distinct from the material bodily vessel or container and is eternal, while time is a limitation in the material world.

The block material universe created by the dreaming Maha-Visnu, contains all possible combinations of material energy —past, present, and future, that are all equally existing as real but temporary in the material world to the individual jiva-souls and.

The movie reel analogy perfectly fits the scientific and philosophical concept of the block material universe:

1. The entire film exists at once: 

Just as every frame of a movie exists on the reel simultaneously (whether it is the opening scene or the final credits of film), the Block universe covers your birth, your existence today, and your future existence (death). Just like on a roadway seen from above, one can see its beginning, its middle and its end.

2. The flowing of time where the individual jiva-soul is moving through past, present and future.

The Analogy: The projector only shines light on one frame at a time, creating the illusion of motion.

The Reality: The individual jiva-soul is always existing in "Now," focusing on the single moment ("Now"), creating the feeling of time passing as the individual jiva-soul moves on and through the fabric of material energies past, present and future. 

The Implication: The future is not waiting to be created; it's already  created, has always existed, fixed and simply waiting for us to catch up to it.

3. This means yesterday is not gone, and tomorrow is not non-existent. They are just different spatial coordinates within the block universe that covers its entire journey through past, present and future.

Is there evidence that some rare individual jiva-souls have viewed the "block material universe" created by Maha-Visnu in its full expression of past, present and future?

Strictly speaking, there is no scientific evidence that any individual jiva-soul embodied in a material bodily vessel, has ever stepped outside of material time to subjectively observe the "block material universe" in its entirety.

The "block material universe" is a legitimate, mathematically elegant model even agreed upon by Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity. However, he only ignorantly sees mundane dead "matter" and not the foundation of matter, which is living "anti-matter," or the individual life force of Krsna and His Visnu-tattva expansions, Siva, and the individual jiva-souls.

Although Albert Einstein also claimed that past, present, and future exist simultaneously in his theory of special relativity.

Here is how different disciplines approach the impossibility of fully perceiving the "block material universe":

Albert Einstein’s "Theory of Special Relativity" speculates that the passage of time is relative and that our perception of the "now" is based on the speed of light and our local frame of reference however, Einstein never undertood or acknowledged the existence of a the higher spiritual realm beyond this mundane temporary material world. 

The spiritual world or Krsna's (God's) Kingdom is made of "living individual units of anti-matter" beginning with Krsna and all of His expansions including the individual jiva-souls.  

All individual jīva-souls call their spiritual world their real original home. It is from there they enter the mundane material world (matter) after rejecting Krsna (God) the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes.

After choosing to leave the spiritual worlds of the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana (anti-matter), the individual jiva-souls enter the mundane temporary material world created by Maha-Visnu and "hire" a temporary decaying material bodily vessel (matter) from Him to proceed to the material world (matter) to experience their mistaken desires without Krsna.

Albert Einstein's limited intelligence claimed we perceive time as an arrow—accumulated experiences of the past and predicting the future—because of how our brains process entropy, causality, and memory consolidation. He claimed the brain is not wired to process space-time in a holistic, non-linear way.

The fact is, the closest claims to "viewing" the full expression of time come from the mysticism from spiritually advanced personalities found in Vedic texts like Srimad Bhagavatam. 

Throughout history, mystics and philosophers (like the great yogis, sages, devotees and Vedic scholars of India) have described moments of "transcendent" experience where time seemed to dissolve, revealing the past, present, and future as one unified, eternal "now."

However, mundane science today treats these experiences as profound alterations of neurological processing, foolishly claiming the brain’s temporal sequencing mechanisms are temporarily suppressed, with the nonsense idea that consciousness has literally detached from the physical block of material space-time which is nonsense because these mundane scientists only see mundane "matter" and not "anti-matter" which is what individual life is.

Modern mundane ignorant scientists including Albert Einstein, do not understand the difference between the gross and subtle material bodily vessels (lifeless matter) and the eternal individual living life force (anti-matter) that moves those temporary material bodily vessels the individual jiva-souls (anti-matter) are covered by.

Because we cannot physically "view" the "block material universe" in its full manifestation and potential of past, present and future, many ignorant scholars argue that the "block material universe" is lacking in providing a full acceptable explanation, this is not true in Maha-Visnu's material creation. 

These mundane ignorant scholars who believe the individual living entities are made of matter, propose an alternative where only the past and present are real, and the block universe is continually "growing" into the future, which they speculate allows the experience of free will to exist. 

The great sages, devotess and advanced yogis do not agree with this nonsense because they know the entire material world's past, present and future are the dreams of Maha-Visnu and have always existed as His dreams.

Free will is a paradox built into Maha-Visnu's dreams (matter) where He allows the individual jiva-souls (anti-matter) to experience their desires (free will) in the material bodily vessel they choose to "hire" from Him.

When the individual jiva-souls enter the temporary material world, they first must acquire (hire) a material bodily vessel from the dreams of Maha-Visnu that already exist, and always have existed (the meaning of a block material universe) that covers every possible senerio and combination of outcomes that the individual jiva-souls may desire due to free will. 

This means eveything that already exists, or will exist in the future, already exists within the dreams of Maha-Visnu eternally.<>.

Just so Krsna can experience loving reciprocation, cooperation in a two-way exchange with another, Krsna divided Himself into two, Radha and Krsna.

And when Radha and Krsna act together in one spiritual Bodily Form, they are Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Srimati Radharani is not jiva-tattva, which means She is not an individual jiva-soul expansion from Krsna like us, no, She is non-different from Krsna, being His direct expansion. 

Love can only exist when there are two individuals reciprocating with each other in a two-sided exchange, allowing the loving emotions of "giving and receiving" to forever expand, flourish and deepen the relationship. 

This means real love can never be experienced with just one on their own, there must be two.

Krsna therefore divided Himself into "two" just so He could experience loving reciprocal exchanges with a women and gave Her the name Srimati Radharani. Loving exchanges can never be experienced and realized with just one, there must be "two," "Radha and Krsna." 

For even Krsna, love can never exist when there is just "one", there must "two," therefore Krsna divides Himself into two, Kṛṣṇa and His other half, the most attractive Srimati Radharani.

Srila Prabhupada - "When Krsna wants to be attracted by a woman, He has to create such a woman from His own energy. That woman is Rādhārāṇī. It is explained by the Gosvāmīs that Rādhārāṇī is the manifestation of the pleasure potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When the Supreme Lord wants to derive transcendental pleasure, He has to create a woman from His internal potency and that women is Srimati Radharani." (SB, Canto 3 Ch 31 text 38, Purport)

Caitanya Caritamrita - "Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are "one and the same", but They have assumed two bodies. Thus They enjoy each other, tasting the mellows of love. The two transcendentalists Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are a puzzle to materialists." (CC Adi 4.56)

Caitanya Caritamrita - "Among the gopīs, Śrīmatī Rādhikā (Radharani) is the foremost. She surpasses all in beauty, in good qualities, in good fortune and, above all, in love." (CC Ādi 4.214)

Also Krsna’s unlimited number of Visnu-tattva direct expansions like Balarama, His first expansion, and Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Paramatma, etc are also God. Krsna is likened to the original candle that lights all the other candles (Visnu-tattva) of the same luminosity.

There is also Kṛṣṇa's  mysterious expansion known as Siva, who is neither Visnu-tattva or jiva-tattva (individual jiva-soul) who spends most of his time in the material world encouraging the most fallen individual jiva-souls to return back home back to Godhead. 

Lord Siva is considered Krsna's greatest devotee.

Next is Kṛṣṇa's separated individual jiva-souls (jiva-tattva) expansions, who can only experience loving reciprocal exchanges in a "two-way" voluntary inter-relationship based on mutual returns and cooperation.

Srila Prabhupada - "We have got the propensity to love. Love means somebody else. Love cannot be "one" or love cannot be executed only one, there must be another one. I love somebody; somebody loves me, there must be lover, there must be beloved, and the transaction, then love." (Lecture SB, Canto 1 Ch 2 text 6, Delhi, Nov 12, 1973)

Srila Prabhupāda – "Love means two persons, then there is exchange, then there is love. I must deal with you open-hearted, you must deal with me open-hearted, then there is love. So if you want to love Kṛṣṇa, God, then these things must be there." (Aug 9, 1976, Tehran)

Srila Prabhupada - "Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling. Then there is love. Not by force! Krsna does not want to become a lover like that, ‘You love me, otherwise I shall kill you!" (Washington D.C. July 8, 1976)

Srila Prabhupada - "The impersonalist philosophy is oneness, so how there be love with just one? Is it possible? Have you got any such experience that love means one? No. Love means two. There must be two, the lover and the beloved. Kṛṣṇa is already lover. He loves you so much that He's trying to get you back. That is Kṛṣṇa's attempt. "Please, My dear boy, or My dear friend, My dear servant." (SB, Canto 2 Ch 1 text 3, Paris, June 12, 1974)

To experience loving exchanges and emotions with a women, Krsna divided Himself into two, Srimati Radharani and Krsna in two different spiritual bodies. Krsna wanted to experience loving emotions and affection with a women, this is why He divided Himself into "two," just so He could experience those loving exchanges.

Srila Prabhupada - "The description of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa from the diary of Śrīla Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī is a condensed explanation, but one needs great spiritual insight to understand the mystery of these two personalities. One is enjoying in two. Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the potent factor, and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the internal potency. According to Vedānta philosophy, there is no difference between the potent and the potency; they are identical. We cannot differentiate between one and the other, any more than we can separate fire from heat. Everything in the Absolute is inconceivable in relative existence. Therefore in relative cognizance it is very difficult to assimilate this truth of the oneness between the potent and the potency. 

The philosophy of inconceivable oneness and difference propounded by Lord Caitanya is the only source of understanding for such intricacies of transcendence. In fact, Rādhārāṇī is the internal potency of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and She eternally intensifies the pleasure of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Impersonalists cannot understand this without the help of a mahā-bhāgavata (great pure) devotee. The very name “Rādhā” suggests that Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is eternally the topmost mistress of the comforts of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. As such, She is the medium transmitting the living entities’ service to Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Devotees in Vṛndāvana therefore seek the mercy of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī in order to be recognized as loving servitors of Śrī Kṛṣṇa." (CC Adi 4.56, Purport)

Caitanya Caritamrita - "Among the gopīs, Śrīmatī Rādhikā is the foremost. She surpasses all in beauty, in good qualities, in good fortune and, above all, in love." (CC Ādi 4.214)

Srila Prabhupada - "The beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s eyes forcibly devours the beauty of newly grown blue lotus flowers, and the beauty of Her face surpasses that of an entire forest of fully blossomed lotuses. Her bodily luster seems to place even gold into a painful situation. Thus the wonderful, unprecedented beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is awakening in Vṛndāvana." (CC, Antya 1.169, Purport)

Srila Prabhupada - "The beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is described as follows: 'Her eyes defeat the attractive features of the eyes of the cakorī bird. When one sees the face of Rādhārāṇī, he immediately hates the beauty of the moon. Her bodily complexion defeats the beauty of gold. Thus, let us all look upon the transcendental beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī." (NOD, Ch 44)

Srila Prabhupada -"There is no comparison to Radharani's beauty and the luster of Her transcendental body. The so-called beauty of the moon has fallen on the ground in the presence of Radharani's beauty." (From Vrindavana by Srila Narottama das Thakura)

Srila Prabhupada - "Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s affection, Her exquisite beauty and good behavior, Her artistic dancing and chanting and Her poetic compositions are all so attractive that they attract the mind of Kṛṣṇa, who attracts the mind of everyone in the universe." (CC, Madhya 17.212)

Caitanya Caritamrita - "Rādhikā is the transformation of Kṛṣṇa’s love. She is His internal energy called hlādinī." (CC, Adi 4.59)

Srila Prabhupada - "Srimati Radharani's mind, senses and body are steeped in love for Kṛṣṇa. She is Kṛṣṇa’s own energy, and She helps Him in His pastimes. Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is as fully spiritual as Kṛṣṇa. No one should consider Her to be material. She is definitely not like the conditioned souls, who have material bodies, gross and subtle, covered by material senses. She is all-spiritual, and both Her body and Her mind are of the same spiritual embodiment. Because Her body is spiritual, Her senses are also spiritual. Thus Her body, mind and senses fully shine in love of Kṛṣṇa. 

She is the personified hlādinī-śakti (the pleasure-giving energy of the Lord’s internal potency), and therefore She is the only source of enjoyment for Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Śrī Kṛṣṇa cannot enjoy anything that is internally different from Him. Therefore Rādhā and Śrī Kṛṣṇa are identical. The sandhinī portion of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s internal potency has manifested the all-attractive form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and the same internal potency, in the hlādinī feature, has presented Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, who is the attraction for the all-attractive. No one can match Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī in the transcendental pastimes of Śrī Kṛṣṇa." (CC, Adi 4.71 Purport)

Srila Prabhupada - "Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has stated that devotional service attracts even Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa attracts everyone, but devotional service attracts Kṛṣṇa. The symbol of devotional service in the highest degree is Rādhārāṇī. Kṛṣṇa is called Madana-mohana, which means that He is so attractive that He can defeat the attraction of thousands of Cupids. But Rādhārāṇī is still more attractive, for She can even attract Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, devotees call Her Madana-mohana-mohinī—the attractor of the attractor of Cupid." (NOD, Ch 1)

Srila Prabhupada - "Rādhārāṇī is the internal potency of Krsna, we are the marginal potency (individual jiva-souls). Of course, originally, in that sense, everything is Kṛṣṇa's expansion. Sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma. But even then there are different expansions. That is the difference between Māyāvāda philosophy and Vaiṣṇava philosophy. Caitanya Mahāprabhu teaches acintya bhedābheda. We are always simultaneously one and different. Always. We should remember that, we are eternal expansion of Kṛṣṇa, we are expansion of Rādhā also because Rādhā is also expansion of Kṛṣṇa. But still, different. This is our philosophy- 

"One and different simultaneously, Acintya bhedābheda."

Caitanya Mahāprabhu's philosophy is "inconceivable simultaneously one and different". This is explained in the Seventh Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā. The energies and the energetic is the same. Śakti-śaktimator abheda. Just like sun and the sunshine, they are the same. There is no difference. But the molecules of the sunshine particles, that is not equal to the sun. These truths we shall always remember. Acintyāḥ khalu ye bhāvāḥ. Therefore these are inconceivable. We are simultaneously one with Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā, and at the same time different." (Lecture BG, Ch 4.5 Montreal, June 10, 1968)

Madhudviṣa Swami - "Śrīla Prabhupāda, you spoke of inferior energy and superior energy. Those are two general categories. Are there othern categories of energies besides that, and specifically how could we understand Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī? Is She ...?"

Srila Prabhupāda - "She is spiritual energy non-different than Krsna, She is Kṛṣṇa."

Madhudviṣa Swami - "But is She an individual jīva-soul or?"

Srila Prabhupada - "No, no, no, She is Kṛṣṇa. If everything is Kṛṣṇa, and Rādhārāṇī is not Kṛṣṇa, then what is that? No, She is Kṛṣṇa, She is the Kṛṣṇa's pleasure potency."

Madhudviṣa Swami - "She is not an individual jīva-soul?"

Srila Prabhupada - "No, no, no, listen carefully,  She is Kṛṣṇa, non-different from Krsna. Kṛṣṇa divided Himself into two, His energy and Himself, that energy, original spiritual energy, is Rādhārāṇī, that is stated by Jīva Gosvāmī. Rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmāt. When Kṛṣṇa wants pleasure, He cannot accept the inferior energy. The same superior energy, Kṛṣṇa, is divided into two. That is Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. And again, when they unite, that is Caitanya Mahāprabhu. 

Divided, they are Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, and united, they are Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Śrī kṛṣṇa caitanya rādhā-kṛṣṇa nahe anya. Anya means another. So, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya is combination of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. And when they are divided into two, that is Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Rādhā kṛṣṇa praṇaya vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmād ekātmānāv api bhuvi purā deha-bhedaṁ gatau tau, śrī-caitanyākhyaṁ prakaṭam adhunā tad-dvayaṁ caikyam āptam [Cc. Ādi 1.5]. 

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa combination. But He is playing the part of Rādhārāṇī to understand Kṛṣṇa. This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu." (Lecture SB, June 6th 1974 Melb Australia).×/=/×.

Did the United States get three Atomic bombs off Germany they refused to use, but instead used on Japan by the United States?

No, this is an ignorant understanding of world war 2!

It is obvious Hitler was never a gentleman that Prabhupada claimed, based on his belief that Hitler refused to use the atomic bomb during World War 2, unlike the Americans. 

The fact is, Hitler was no gentleman, he murdered 26 million Russians, 6 million Jews and millions more in Europe and North Africa during World War 2.

Furthermore, the idea Hitler had 3 nuclear weapons but would not use them, but instead taken by the United States and two used on Japan is historically wrong and not accepted by bonafide historians of World War 2. 

Based on historical records, the assertion that the United States captured three unused atomic bombs from Germany and used them against Japan is not historically accurate, it is nonsense according to all historical records.

While this statement appears in conversations involving Srila Prabhupada (as recorded in Vaniquotes), historical consensus indicates the following -

German Nuclear Program - 

Germany did have a nuclear research program, but it did not produce a functional atomic bomb, let alone three US Development, Germany never even come close to developing nuclear weapon.  

The U.S. developed its atomic bombs independently through the Manhattan Project. The bombs dropped on Hiroshima ("Little Boy") and Nagasaki ("Fat Man") were U.S.-built, using Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239 respectively.

Timeline - 

Germany surrendered in May 1945, while the first U.S. atomic bomb test ("Trinity") took place on July 16, 1945, and the first use against Japan occurred on August 6, 1945.

Understanding Prabhupada's statement within the context of his teachings -

Srila Prabhupada often used examples to discuss the morality of war and the actions of world leaders, particularly highlighting the destruction caused by the U.S. in World War II.

"Hitler was a Gentleman" - 

In some discussions, Srila Prabhupada made controversial statements comparing Hitler and the U.S., suggesting Hitler didn't use atomic weapons while the U.S. did, which is mistaken by him because at no point did Germany even come close to developing an atomic bomb, this has been historically proved.

However, Srila Prabhupada also was rightly, not very supportive of the British and their American Allies because of their exploitive colonialism, India was suppressed under British rule until 1947 and Prabhupada oftened critized the British because of not allowing India to rule themselves. 

In this way, followers of Srila Prabhupada often interpret these statements in the context of a wider critique of modern, "demoniac" leaders, rather than a technical lecture on historical facts.

Therefore, while the spiritual and moral criticisms of war within these talks are central to his teachings, the specific technical claim regarding captured German atomic bombs is not supported by strong historical evidence.*/*.

Each "bubble" that surrounds the sleeping Maha-Visnu in the painting below, are different Brahmanda material universes collectively existing as a "multi-verse" that all originate from the Body of Maha-Visnu, who creates the entire material creation on behalf of Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes.

Within each Brahmanda material universe is a secondary material universe managed by Maha-Visnu's expansion, Garbhodakashayi Viṣṇu, who is surrounded by His many servants the demigods lead by Lord Brahma.

Our Brahmanda universe that our secondary universe is in, is considered to be small compared to other Brahmanda universes in the material world. 

Yet still, our Brahmanda universe that houses the secondary universe we are in, is a massive 44 quadrillion 444 trillion 444 billion miles in diameter, or twice that size if measured from outer edge of the secondary universe within the Brahmanda universe.

As said above, deep inside the Brahmanda universe at its centre, is found another smaller universe that is just 4 billion miles in diameter according to the 5th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.

This unner material secondary universe and its 14 planetary systems, is called "the Bhu-Mandala Earth," not to be confused with the small world we live on also called Earth that exists within one of the 14 planetary systems. 

Our small 4 billion mile diameter Bhu-Mandala universe is in the center, housed within the massively huge Brahmanda outer universe. 

As said above, the maintainer of the inner Bhu-mandala universe's 14 planetary systems deep inside the Brahmanda universe, is an Maha-Visnu's expansion known as Garbhodakashayi Visnu. 

From Him a stem grows from His naval and at the top of the stem is a lotus flower where Lord Brahma resides.

Within the lotus stem exists all 14 planetary systems.

As said above, the Brahmanda universe may even be bigger than the above figures.

The inner Bhu-Mandala secondary universe with its 14 planetary systems, is 4 billion miles in diameter according to the 5th Canto.

However, this figure may have deeper meanings if you add the knowledge of different  dimensions existing within that 4 billion miles diameter as well.

This further means the figure of 4 billion miles in diameter is not to be taken literally and needs sensible decoding because it is a fact, our secondary material universe is much larger than 4 billion miles in diameter. 

There are seven material layers of the Brahmanda universe that surround the inner Bhu-mandala secondary  universe.

The first layer of the outer Brahmanda universe encasing the inner Bhu-Mandala secondary universe, is earth which is 10 times thicker than the 4 billion mile diameter Bhu-Mandala universe which equals-

1 - Bhu-Mandala universe is 4,000,000,000 (4 billion miles in size)

2 - Earth layer is 10×4 = 40,000,000,000  (40 billion miles in diameter)

3 - Water layer is 10×40  = 400,000,000,000 (400 billion miles in diameter) 

4 - Fire layer is 10×400 = 4000,000,000,000 (4000 billion which is 4 trillion in diameter)

5 - Air layer is 10×4 = 40,000,000,000,000 (40 trillion in diameter) 

6 - Sky layer is 10×40 = 400,000,000,000,000 (400 trillion in diameter) 

7 - Ego layer is 10×400 = 4000,000,000,000,000 (4000 trillion which is 4 quadrillion in diameter) 

8 - Mahat-tattva layer is 10×4000 = 40,000,000,000,000,000 (40 quadrillion in diameter) 

So the full size of our Brahmanda egg shaped material universe (Brahmanda) that houses our secondary universe known as Bhu-Mandala, is a massive 44 quadrillion 444 trillion 444 billion miles in diameter.

Srimad Bhagavatam - "The layers or elements covering the universes are each ten times thicker than the one before, and all the universes clustered together appear like atoms in a huge combination." (SB, Canto 3 Ch 11 text 41)

Srila Prabhupada - "The coverings of the universes are also constituted of the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether, and each is ten times thicker than the one before. The first covering of the universe is earth, and it is ten times thicker than the universe itself. If the universe is four billion miles in size, then the size of the earthly covering of the universe is four billion times ten. 

The covering of water is ten times greater than the earthly covering, the covering of fire is ten times greater than the watery covering, the covering of air is ten times greater than that of the fire, the covering of ether is ten times greater still than that of air, and so on. The universe within the coverings of matter appears to be like an atom in comparison to the coverings, and the number of universes is unknown even to those who can estimate the coverings of the universes." (SB, Canto 3 Ch 11 text 41 Purport)#//#
