There are 180 controversial dialogues. Buddha is himself principle interlocutor in conversation with his principle disciples. Agganna Sutta of Digha Nikaya clearly explains how human society comes into being and disappears. According to the Sutta, the appearance of society is called vivatthakappa or evolving time, opening or evolution. The disappearance of the society is called samvattakappa devolving time or dissolution. It is the 27th Sutta of Digha Nikaya collections.
