[edit] Calculations

Just wondering where these numbers for the Buddhist kalpa come from, as there seem to be no calculations to obtain the number 16 million years for a regular kalpa. Why, a simple multiplication of a 16*16*16 mile cube and a 1/20th of an inch mustard seed inserted over 100 years yields approximately 1.447*10^19 years, so on the order of 14.5 Quintillion years not 16 Million years.

(I doubt the other example is as simple to calculate)
