Did scientific knowledge and explanations about the ozone layer change over time?

Yes. First we didn't know we had an ozone layer, and we didn't know that the Sun made very energetic radiation that it radiated towards us in quantities sufficient to kill us and sterilize the Earth's surface. Next we discovered the ozone layer, and spotted energetic radiation (UV-B) arriving at Earth's surface from distant stars through the newly discovered ozone hole that were not too much hotter than than our own Sun. Whoa, this means the ozone layer is protecting us! Then we spotted chemicals in the ozone hole, some of which were in the middle of an ozone "meal", and assumed the hole was made by them. A little more than 80% of those chemicals are only made by Man. Still we look at the "problem" with a choice of personal blinders, whether we want to believe we are "guilty of all harm", or that we are "too small to matter", and we get confused by the distractions raised by either of those two camps. Regardless of the cause, more UV-B is arriving on the "heads" of more people with each passing year. Note in the attached link, that very few people live near the equator, where "UV-B intensity is relatively unchanged". And we'll have yet more to discover in the future...

Why is coconut a symbol of good luck to Hindus?
In Hinduism, coconut is considered as a symbol of purity, knowledge but not lucky. Coconut has a tough outer layer and a soft inner layer. The outer layer is a symbol of our ignorance and inner layer is a symbol of our knowledge. Hindus break it in front of god to symbolize that they are breaking their ignorance in front of god. By doing so, they get the inner layer, the knowledge and pure coconut water inside. This pure water is 'holy'. We all know that this water is really purer than anything else. They drink it as a symbol of god's knowledge.
