Changes

42:4.2 We do not fully [[comprehend]] the almost endless [[changes]] to which [[physical]] [[energy]] may be subject. In one [[universe]] it appears as [[light]], in another as light plus [[heat]], in another as [[forms]] of [[energy]] [[unknown]] on [[Urantia]]; in untold millions of years it may reappear as some [[form]] of restless, surging [[electrical]] energy or [[magnetic]] [[power]]; and still later on it may again [[appear]] in a subsequent [[universe]] as some [[form]] of variable [[matter]] going through a series of [[metamorphoses]], to be followed by its outward [[physical]] disappearance in some great [[cataclysm]] of the realms. And then, after countless [[ages]] and almost endless [[wandering]] through numberless [[universes]], again may this same energy re-[[emerge]] and many times [[change]] its [[form]] and [[potential]]; and so do these [[transformations]] continue through [[successive]] [[ages]] and throughout countless realms. Thus [[matter]] sweeps on, undergoing the [[transmutation]]s of [[time]] but swinging ever true to the [[circle]] of [[eternity]]; even if long prevented from returning to its [[source]], it is ever responsive thereto, and it ever [[proceeds]] in the path [[ordained]] by the [[Universal Father|Infinite Personality]] who sent it forth.

But their range of [[action]] is enormously curtailed when electronically [[organized]] [[energy]] swings into the whirls of the [[atomic]] [[systems]]. Upon such [[materialization]], these energies fall under the complete grasp of the drawing [[power]] of [[linear]] [[gravity]].

42:4.5 Throughout all [[space]], cold and other [[influences]] are at [[work]] [[creatively]] [[organizing]] [[ultimatons]] into [[electrons]]. [[Heat]] is the [[measurement]] of [[electronic]] [[activity]], while cold merely signifies [[absence]] of heat—[[comparative]] [[energy]] [[rest]]—the [[status]] of the [[universal]] [[force]]-charge of [[space]] provided neither [[emergent energy]] nor [[organized]] [[matter]] were present and responding to [[gravity]].

42:4.6 [[Gravity]] [[presence]] and [[action]] is what prevents the [[appearance]] of the [[theoretical]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero absolute zero], for interstellar [[space]] does not have the [[temperature]] of absolute zero. Throughout all [[Grand Universe|organized space]] there are [[gravity]]-[[responding]] [[energy]] currents, power [[circuits]], and [[ultimatonic]] [[activities]], as well as organizing [[electronic]] energies. [[Practically]] speaking, [[space]] is not empty[http://books.google.com/books?id=wjxrloC2gyMC&dq=fullness+of+space&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=bXP1S4CGNMGB8gbT4fTRCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false]. Even the [[atmosphere]] of [[Urantia]] thins out increasingly until at about three thousand miles it begins to shade off into the [[average]] [[space]] [[matter]] in this section of the [[universe]]. The most nearly empty space known in [[Nebadon]] would yield about one hundred [[ultimatons]]—the [[equivalent]] of one [[electron]]—in each cubic inch. Such [[scarcity]] of [[matter]] is regarded as practically empty space.

42:4.7 [[Temperature]]—[[heat]] and cold—is secondary only to [[gravity]] in the realms of [[energy]] and [[matter]] [[evolution]]. [[Ultimatons]] are [[humbly]] [[obedient]] to temperature extremes. Low temperatures favor certain [[forms]] of [[electronic]] construction and atomic assembly, while high temperatures [[facilitate]] all sorts of atomic breakup and [[material]] disintegration.

42:4.8 When subjected to the [[heat]] and [[pressure]] of certain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Core internal solar states], all but the most [[primitive]] [[associations]] of matter may be broken up. [[Heat]] can thus largely overcome [[gravity]] [[stability]]. But no known [[solar]] [[heat]] or [[pressure]] can convert [[ultimatons]] back into [[puissant energy]].

42:4.9 The blazing [[suns]] can [[transform]] [[matter]] into various [[forms]] of [[energy]], but the dark worlds and all [[outer space]] can slow down [[electronic]] and [[ultimatonic]] [[activity]] to the point of converting these [[energies]] into the [[matter]] of the realms. Certain [[electronic]] [[associations]] of a close [[nature]], as well as many of the basic [[associations]] of [[nuclear]] [[matter]], are formed in the exceedingly low [[temperatures]] of open [[space]], being later augmented by association with larger [[accretions]] of [[materializing]] [[energy]].

42:4.10 Throughout all of this never-ending [[metamorphosis]] of [[energy]] and [[matter]] we must reckon with the [[influence]] of [[gravity]] [[pressure]] and with the [[antigravity]] [[behavior]] of the [[ultimatonic]] [[energies]] under certain conditions of [[temperature]], [[velocity]], and [[revolution]]. [[Temperature]], [[energy]] [[currents]], [[distance]], and the [[presence]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:5._THE_MASTER_FORCE_ORGANIZERS living force organizers] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:1._THE_SEVEN_SUPREME_POWER_DIRECTORS power directors] also have a bearing on all [[transmutation]] [[phenomena]] of [[energy]] and [[matter]].

42:4.11 The increase of [[mass]] in [[matter]] is [[equal]] to the increase of [[energy]] divided by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_%28algebra%29 square] of the [[velocity]] of [[light]]. In a [[dynamic]] sense the [[work]] which [[resting]] [[matter]] can [[perform]] is equal to the [[energy]] expended in bringing its parts [[together]] from [[Paradise]] minus the [[resistance]] of the [[forces]] overcome in transit and the [[attraction]] exerted by the parts of [[matter]] on one another.

42:4.12 The [[existence]] of pre-[[electronic]] [[forms]] of [[matter]] is indicated by the two [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_weight atomic weights] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead lead]. The lead of [[original]] formation weighs slightly more than that produced through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium uranium] disintegration by way of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium radium] [[emanations]]; and this [[difference]] in atomic weight [[represents]] the actual loss of [[energy]] in the [[atomic]] breakup.

42:4.13 The [[relative]] [[integrity]] of [[matter]] is [[assured]] by the [[fact]] that [[energy]] can be absorbed or released only in those exact amounts which [[Urantia]] [[scientists]] have designated [[quanta]]. This [[wise]] provision in the [[material]] realms serves to [[maintain]] the [[universes]] as going concerns.

42:4.14 The [[quantity]] of [[energy]] taken in or given out when [[electronic]] or other positions are shifted is always a "[[quantum]]" or some multiple thereof, but the [[vibratory]] or [[Wave|wavelike]] [[behavior]] of such [[units]] of [[energy]] is wholly determined by the [[dimensions]] of the [[material]] [[structures]] concerned. Such [[Wave|wavelike]] [[energy]] ripples are 860 times the [[diameters]] of the [[ultimatons]], [[electrons]], [[atoms]], or other [[units]] thus [[performing]]. The never-ending [[confusion]] attending the [[observation]] of the [[wave]] [[mechanics]] of [[quantum]] [[behavior]] is due to the [[superimposition]] of [[energy]] [[waves]]: Two crests can combine to make a double-height crest, while a crest and a trough may combine, thus producing [[mutual]] cancellation.
