A compliment long due

One of my methods of relaxation is to listen to S.Ve. Shekar dramas. I like that guy's jokes (although you've heard them in different dramas of his, and  most of the funniest lines he reserves for himself and oh yeah, all the chicks are hopelessly in love with him).
Asides from all of this there are brilliant scientific references that he makes, which make you wonder if he understands the gravity (no pun intended) of his words.
1) Mahabharathathil Mangatha - Time travel is dealt with in a funny manner. There are references to 'Butterfly Effect' made. There is also a cause effect resulting in altering history. For example when Veerapandiyakattabomman becomes a Gandhian S.Ve.Shekar travels way into the future instead of going back to his present time. I know that is not how it's mentioned in the drama but I chose to think of it that way. There is also a 'time travel cab' and a 'human body spare parts' shop that are all brilliantly but simply told.
2) The second referecne and this is the one I am more interested in is 'Kaadhula Poo' where he dies and goes to heaven. The point made there is 'Engu oru naal enbathu, un ulagathil oru varusham pola' (A day here is equivalent of 1 year in your world).
I did a calculation based on it and realized that at this rate it would put Heaven at a negative distance from the sun. How could that be possible? I will update with my findings :)

assuming it is, and time-space continuum is constant and the laws of physics still hold. However for it to hold true, Schrödinger equation will have to be applicable. But since it's configuration in the wave function is undetermined at this point I will not argue with you.
