[[Light]] is both a photon and a wave, and moves at 186,000 miles per second (299,792 km per second). It is the fastest moving thing known to man, and, according to [[Einstein]], a limit which nothing can travel faster than. Lorentz's Equations predicted that time would "slow down" for whatever was traveling near light speed; so, if a person was moving near light speed, they would age slower than someone who was not. Since light is what humans depend on to see the universe, there are tiny, imperceptible changes in what one observer is seeing compared to another. This is because, of course, that light still has to travel to get to an observer; so, if Observer #2 was twice as far from an object than Observer #1, Observer #2 would see it two times later than Observer #1. This can especially be seen when you look at stars many light-years away: you are actually seeing the past of that star, not what is happening at moment, since the light from that star must travel years and years to reach earth (depending on exactly how far away it was).

Motion is not inherent on [[Paradise]]; it is [[volition]]al.[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper11.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper11.html&line=57#mfs]
