12:2.3 In the not-distant future, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescope#Lists_of_telescopes new telescopes] will reveal to the [[wondering]] gaze of [[Urantian]] [[astronomers]] no less than 375 million new galaxies in the remote stretches of [[outer space]].

This expert [[group]] of [[work]]ers has arrived at the following conclusions regarding the [[different]] gravity [[systems]] of the [[master universe]]:

12:3.4 1. ''Physical Gravity''. Having formulated an estimate of the summation of the entire [[physical]]-[[gravity]] capacity of the [[grand universe]], they have laboriously effected a comparison of this finding with the estimated [[total]] of [[absolute]] [[gravity]] presence now operative. These calculations indicate that the total gravity [[action]] on the grand universe is a very small part of the estimated gravity pull of [[Paradise]], computed on the basis of the gravity [[response]] of basic physical units of [[universe]] [[matter]]. These investigators reach the amazing conclusion that the [[central universe]] and the surrounding [[seven superuniverses]] are at the present time making use of only about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter_problem#Observational_evidence five per cent] of the active [[functioning]] of the Paradise absolute-gravity [[Potential|grasp]]. In other [[words]]: At the present [[moment]] about ninety-five per cent of the active cosmic-gravity action of the Isle of Paradise, computed on this [[totality]] [[theory]], is engaged in [[controlling]] material [[systems]] beyond the borders of the present organized universes. These calculations all refer to absolute gravity; [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42#6._ULTIMATONS.2C_ELECTRONS.2C_AND_ATOMS linear gravity] is an [[interactive]] [[phenomenon]] which can be computed only by knowing the [[actual]] Paradise gravity.

12:3.5 2. ''Spiritual Gravity''. By the same [[technique]] of comparative estimation and calculation these [[researchers]] have explored the [[present]] [[reaction]] [[capacity]] of [[spirit]] gravity and, with the [[co-operation]] of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_23 Solitary Messengers] and other spirit [[personalities]], have arrived at the summation of the active spirit gravity of the [[Second Source and Center]]. And it is most instructive to note that they find about the same [[value]] for the [[actual]] and [[functional]] presence of spirit gravity in the [[grand universe]] that they postulate for the present [[total]] of active spirit gravity. In other [[words]]: At the present time practically the entire spirit gravity of the [[Eternal Son]], computed on this [[theory]] of [[totality]], is observable as functioning in the grand universe. If these findings are dependable, we may conclude that the universes now evolving in [[outer space]] are at the present time wholly nonspiritual. And if this is true, it would satisfactorily explain why spirit-endowed [[beings]] are in possession of little or no [[information]] about these vast energy [[manifestations]] aside from knowing the [[fact]] of their [[physical]] [[existence]].

12:4.12 The present [[relationship]] of your sun and its associated [[planets]], while disclosing many [[relative]] and [[absolute]] motions in space, tends to convey the impression to astronomic [[observers]] that you are comparatively stationary in space, and that the surrounding starry clusters and streams are engaged in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang outward flight][https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Big_Bang_Never_Happened] at ever-increasing velocities as your calculations proceed outward in space. But such is not the case. You fail to recognize the present outward and [[uniform]] expansion of the physical creations of all pervaded space.

The entire [[seven superuniverses]] participate in the two-billion-year cycles of space respiration along with the outer regions of the [[master universe]].

12:4.14 Although your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy spectroscopic] estimations of [[astronomic]] velocities are fairly reliable when applied to the starry realms belonging to your [[superuniverse]] and its associate superuniverses, such reckonings with [[reference]] to the realms of [[outer space]] are wholly unreliable.

But this apparent speed of recession is not real; it results from numerous factors of error embracing [[angle]]s of [[observation]] and other [[time-space]] distortions.

That is, these myriads of [[nebulae]] and their accompanying suns and [[spheres]] are at the present time revolving clockwise about the central creation. The seven superuniverses revolve about Paradise in a counterclockwise direction. It appears that the second outer universe of galaxies, like the seven superuniverses, revolves counterclockwise about Paradise. And the astronomic [[observers]] of [[Uversa]] think they detect [[evidence]] of [[Revolution (orbital)|revolution]]ary movements in a third outer belt of far-distant space which are beginning to exhibit directional tendencies of a clockwise nature.
