Though things have indeed changed since this video was produced, it still makes the infinitesimally tiny point!
“Luminous beings are we; not this crude matter.”

We don’t need a “Theory of Everything.” We need a new Universal Cosmology.
Overly ambitious? Of course. If for no other reason than the simple fact that truth is always going to be relative in time and space, and for science, a theory; thus our scientific knowledge is also by nature relative, and evolutionary; always changing, always growing.
But a more likely reason will be along the lines of the failure of the larger scientific community to postulate—let alone agree that an Infinite Divine Being, a First Source and Center of all things, places and beings—is actually responsible for everything; including scientific facts. Still, it makes you wonder about their general lack of wonder, not to mention a sense of awe; those emotions should never be anathema to factual science.
In our “superuniverse” (a geographical approximation of about one seventh of the entire inhabited universe) there are one hundred octaves of wave energy. Of these one hundred groups of energy manifestations, only sixty-four are wholly or partially recognized on our world, Urantia. The sun’s rays constitute four octaves in the superuniverse scale, the visible rays embracing a single octave; number forty-six in this series.
“The ultraviolet group comes next, while ten octaves up are the X rays, followed by the gamma rays of radium. Thirty-two octaves above the visible light of the sun are the outer-space energy rays so frequently commingled with their associated highly energized minute particles of matter. Next downward from visible sunlight appear the infrared rays, and thirty octaves below are the radio transmission group.”
From the standpoint of twentieth-century Urantia scientific enlightenment—perhaps a little behind current knowledge—wavelike energy manifestations may be classified into roughly ten groups, but I want to introduce just these two, which as of this writing remain undiscovered:
1. Infraultimatonic rays—”the borderland revolutions of ultimatons as they begin to assume definite form. This is the first stage of emergent energy in which wavelike phenomena can be detected and measured.
2. Ultimatonic rays—”The assembly of energy into the minute spheres of the ultimatons occasions vibrations in the content of space which are discernible and measurable. And long before physicists ever discover the ultimaton, they will undoubtedly detect the phenomena of these rays as they shower in upon Urantia. These short and powerful rays represent the initial activity of the ultimatons as they are slowed down to that point where they veer towards the electronic organization of matter. As the ultimatons aggregate into electrons, condensation occurs with a consequent storage of energy.”
The ULTIMATONS are the prime physical units of material existence; they are the energy particles which make up electrons.¹ Ultimatonic rays assemble energy into the minute spheres of the ultimatons which occasions vibrations in the content of space which are discernible and measurable. And long before our physicists ever discover the ultimaton, they will undoubtedly detect the phenomena of these rays as they shower in upon Urantia. These short and powerful rays represent the initial activity of the ultimatons as they are slowed down to that point where they veer towards the electronic organization of matter. As the ultimatons aggregate into electrons, condensation occurs with a consequent storage of energy.
But scientists—especially mad ones—march to a different drummer.
There are good reasons why scientists “don’t get no respect,”
but that changed a little when Peter Higgs’ research
may have panned out a particle worth more than gold.
(Original caricature of Peter Higgs by Murray.)
While the “space charge of universal force” is homogeneous and undifferentiated throughout the universe, the organization of evolved energy into matter entails the concentration of energy into discrete masses of definite dimensions and established weight— precise gravity reaction.
Local or linear gravity becomes fully operative with the appearance of the atomic organization of matter. Preatomic matter becomes slightly gravity-responsive when activated by X ray and other similar energies, but no measurable linear-gravity pull is exerted on free, unattached, and uncharged electronic-energy particles or on unassociated ultimatons.
Ultimatons function by mutual attraction—
responding only to the circular Paradise-gravity pull
Ultimatons function by mutual attraction, responding only to the circular Paradise-gravity pull. Without linear-gravity response they are thus held in the universal space drift. Ultimatons are capable of accelerating revolutionary velocity to the point of partial antigravity behavior, but they cannot, independent of force organizers or power directors, attain the critical escape velocity of deindividuation, return to the C stage. In nature, ultimatons escape the status of physical existence only when participating in the terminal disruption of a cooled-off and dying sun.
The ultimatons, unknown on Urantia, slow down through many phases of physical activity before they attain the revolutionary-energy prerequisites to electronic organization. Ultimatons have three varieties of motion: mutual resistance to cosmic force, individual revolutions of antigravity potential, and the intraelectronic positions of the one hundred mutually interassociated ultimatons.
“Mutual attraction holds one hundred ultimatons together in the constitution of the electron;
and there are never more nor less than one hundred ultimatons in a typical electron.”
—THE URANTIA PAPERS
An atom is a little over 1/100,000,000th of an inch in diameter, while an electron weighs a little more than 1/2,000th of the smallest atom, hydrogen. The positive proton, characteristic of the atomic nucleus, while no larger than a negative electron, weighs almost two thousand times more.
The loss of one or more ultimatons destroys typical electronic identity, thus bringing into existence one of the ten modified forms of the electron.
Ultimatons do not describe orbits or whirl about in circuits within the electrons, but they do spread or cluster in accordance with their axial revolutionary velocities, thus determining the differential electronic dimensions. This same ultimatonic velocity of axial revolution also determines the negative or positive reactions of the several types of electronic units. The entire segregation and grouping of electronic matter, together with the electric differentiation of negative and positive bodies of energy-matter, result from these various functions of the component ultimatonic interassociation.
It’s completely obvious that formation of all matter is “on the order of the solar system.” At the center of every minute universe of energy there is a relatively stable and comparatively stationary nuclear portion of material existence. Surrounding this energy center there whirl, in endless profusion but in fluctuating circuits, the energy spheres which are reminiscent of the planets encircling a star— like our own solar system. Within the atom the electrons revolve about the central proton with about the same comparative room the planets have as they revolve about the sun in the space of the solar system.
There is the same relative distance, in comparison with actual size, between the atomic nucleus and the inner electronic circuit as exists between the inner planet, Mercury, and your sun. The electronic axial revolutions and their orbital velocities about the atomic nucleus are both beyond the human imagination, not to mention the velocities of their component ultimatons. The positive particles of radium fly off into space at the rate of ten thousand miles a second, while the negative particles attain a velocity approximating that of light.
If the mass of matter was magnified until the mass of an electron equaled a tenth of an ounce, and its size was also proportionately magnified, its volume would become as large as that of the earth. If the volume of a proton— eighteen hundred times as heavy as an electron— was magnified to the size of the head of a pin, then in comparison a pin’s head would attain a diameter equal to that of the earth’s orbit around the sun.
ATOMIC MATTER
The local universes are of decimal construction. There are just one hundred distinguishable atomic materializations of space-energy in a dual universe; that is the maximum possible organization of matter in Nebadon, our Local Universe.
These one hundred forms of matter consist of a regular series in which from one to one hundred electrons revolve around a central and relatively compact nucleus. It is this orderly and dependable association of various energies that constitutes matter. Not every world will show one hundred recognizable elements at the surface, but they are somewhere present, have been present, or are in process of evolution. Conditions surrounding the origin and subsequent evolution of a planet determine how many of the one hundred atomic types will be observable. The heavier atoms are not found on the surface of many worlds. Even on Urantia the known heavier elements manifest a tendency to fly to pieces, as is illustrated by radium behavior. Stability of the atom depends on the number of electrically inactive neutrons in the central body. Chemical behavior is wholly dependent on the activity of the freely revolving electrons.
In Orvonton—the “seventh superuniverse”—it has never been possible naturally to assemble over one hundred orbital electrons in one atomic system. When one hundred and one have been artificially introduced into the orbital field, the result has always been the well-nigh instantaneous disruption of the central proton with the wild dispersion of the electrons and other liberated energies. While atoms may contain from one to one hundred orbital electrons, only the outer ten electrons of the larger atoms revolve about the central nucleus as distinct and discrete bodies, intactly and compactly swinging around on precise and definite orbits. The thirty electrons nearest the center are difficult of observation or detection as separate and organized bodies. This same comparative ratio of electronic behavior in relation to nuclear proximity obtains in all atoms regardless of the number of electrons embraced. The nearer the nucleus, the less there is of electronic individuality.
The wavelike energy extension of an electron may so spread out as to occupy the whole of the lesser atomic orbits; especially is this true of the electrons nearest the atomic nucleus. The thirty innermost orbital electrons have individuality, but their energy systems tend to intermingle, extending from electron to electron and well-nigh from orbit to orbit. The next thirty electrons constitute the second family, or energy zone, and are of advancing individuality, bodies of matter exerting a more complete control over their attendant energy systems.
The next thirty electrons, the third energy zone, are still more individualized and circulate in more distinct and definite orbits. The last ten electrons, present in only the ten heaviest elements, are possessed of the dignity of independence and are, therefore, able to escape more or less freely from the control of the mother nucleus. With a minimum variation in temperature and pressure, the members of this fourth and outermost group of electrons will escape from the grasp of the central nucleus, as is illustrated by the spontaneous disruption of uranium and kindred elements.
The first twenty-seven atoms, those containing from one to twenty-seven orbital electrons, are more easy of comprehension than the rest. From twenty-eight upward we encounter more and more of the unpredictability of the supposed presence of the Unqualified Absolute.¹
But some of this electronic unpredictability is due to differential ultimatonic axial revolutionary velocities and to the unexplained “huddling” proclivity of ultimatons. Other influences— physical, electrical, magnetic, and gravitational—also operate to produce variable electronic behavior. Atoms therefore are similar to persons as to predictability. Statisticians may announce laws governing a large number of either atoms or persons but not for a single individual atom or person.
NOTES
- This is a claim that has not been discovered or verified by 21st century science yet. But hey, I’m not sure they’ve even discovered the ultimaton, either.
-
The Unqualified Absolute is nonpersonal, extradivine, and undeified. So the Unqualified Absolute is therefore devoid of personality, divinity, and all creator prerogatives. Neither fact nor truth, experience nor revelation, nor philosophy are able to penetrate the nature and character of this Absolute without universe qualification.
And for the doubters, let me add: The Unqualified Absolute is not a mere “negativism of philosophic concept predicated on the assumptions of metaphysical sophistries concerning the universality, dominance, and primacy of the unconditioned and the unqualified.” Not at all! The Unqualified Absolute is a positive universe overcontrol in infinity, and this overcontrol is space-force unlimited, though definitely conditioned by the presence of life, mind, spirit, and personality; and it’s further conditioned by the will-reactions and purposeful mandates of the Paradise Trinity. So there. Better?
