According to modern science, there are two theories:
a. The Steady State theory, which says the universe is never born, never dies, and is always like what it is.
b. The Big bang theory, which says the universe began with a point of energy exploding in a "big-bang".
Since the universe is expanding and evolving, 1st theory is not 100% correct automatically. Big Bang theory says that the current age of universe is 11-20 billion years. But according to new observations, i.e. clusters of galaxies, super-clusters, Great Wall (Tully's complexes), it is quite evident that our universe is much much older than that. Lots of cosmologist believes that big-bang theory is not correct although it is most widely accepted. In short, modern man is not aware of forces and science which are needed to expain the creation of universe.
a. Total age of universe is 311.04 trillion years (human years).
b. Current age is around 155.521972944 trillion years.
Satya Yuga - 1.728 million years
Treta Yuga - 1.296 million years
Dwapara Yuga - 0.864 million years
Kali Yuga - 0.432 million years
Total: 4.32 million human years.

How
it is calculated:
According to Vedas, There are 4 ages on
earth which keeps circulating:Satya Yuga - 1.728 million years
Treta Yuga - 1.296 million years
Dwapara Yuga - 0.864 million years
Kali Yuga - 0.432 million years
Total: 4.32 million human years.
This
yuga cycle is called maha (in english, it means great/big) or divya (divine)
yuga. One thousand such cycles forms one day of Brahma (a demigod in hindu
religion which governs the universe). So one day of Brahma is 4.32 million *
1000 = 4.32 billion human years. Each such day of Brahma is called a
"kalpa". His night also constitutes 4.32 billion human years. During
his day, life exists in universe. In nighttime, no form of life exists. So one
complete day and night has 8.64 billion human years.
Age of Brahma is 100 years. Each year of Brahma
has 360 days and same number of nights. Thus, total age of Brahma is 360 * 100
* 8.64 billion = 311,040 billion human years. i.e. 311.04 trillion years. This
period is called "maha kalpa". The life span of the universe is one
"maha kalpa". i.e. 311.04 trillion human years. This time span is
also the duration of one breath of "Vishnu" (the ultimate god in
hindu religion). When he exhales, thousands of universes emerges and one
"Brahma" is born in each universe. When "Vishnu" inhales,
all universes get sucked and Brahma dies.
This cycle is non-ending and eternal. Thats why "Vishnu" is
considered eternal in Vedic Science (or religion).
At present we are in 5111th
year of kali yuga out of 0.432 million years. So this is not the time for the
end of the world. During the span of yuga, there may be changes in the world’s
structure and species but not complete end.
