#1 > Sun returns to the position that it had when the Universe was first created

since there was no sun for 10 billion of the universes 14 billion years this might be a problem.

#2 Bright Pebbles, I had no idea you were that old. Or is your fact just something that we must all pretend is true just because you read it in a book.

#3 Personally, I think the sages of the Talmudic era figured that since the 7th year is the sabbatical year and the 49th year is about the jubilee year (which is 50 years) then 28 (the arithmatic mean of 7 and 49) must be the sun year (that there is a sun year is referred to briefly in the Mishna which was compiled about 200 years before the talmud was compiled). But this is just my theory.
