Buddhist cosmology relies on a belief that there are many different worlds or realms, inhabited by different sorts of beings. The one you and I are inhabiting right now is Samsara, or the world of rebirth. Time is thought to be both infinite and cyclical, with certain natural events recurring and giving structure to time. Many different "ages" or 'eons" are described in great detail, outlining the evolution of the universe. After all beings have exited the cycle of rebirth, the physical universe will be destroyed, and a new universe will emerge in its place. While the language used to describe this cycle is quite colorful, the process described is very similar to that described by M Theory of modern physics, which envisions membranes of various dimensions colliding and creating the Big Bang.
