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]].

42:4.9 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.

42:4.14 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.
