p2: Consider as candidates for the two or three nebulae: Andromeda, Triangulum, and Centaurus A. See the Astronomy study aid for a deeper dive into this consideration.

p3: See cross-reference study: Milky Way Galaxy/(sub)(super)galactic for a comprehensive review of how the revelators use galaxy (along with its derivatives) and Milky Way. See Nigel Nunn’s paper Massive Orvonton for a deeper study of this topic and go to this page for a broader appreciation of his scholarship. See also Topical Study: Astronomy.

As late as the 1980’s, when the Hubble telescope was being built, astronomers were very skeptical about how far more powerful telescopes would be able to penetrate deep space. Various factors led astronomers in this direction—the Big Bang theory, redshift issues, gravitations forces, etc. The people who built the Hubble telescope were told not to worry about seeing galaxies in deep space because it would not be possible. In 1977 a Scientific American article noted that astronomers estimated that there were about 10 million visible galaxies. Data collected by the Hubble telescope greatly increased earlier estimates. Currently, astronomers estimate that there are well over 100 billion galaxies. The fact that 375 million was not rounded up to 400 million indicates a degree of specificity suggesting an upper limit. Current estimates may be too high for a number of reason, including that scientists are postulating spherical and evenly distributed universe. See UBtheNEWS Galaxies Report.

Section 4: Space and Motion

p14metric conversions: “160 km/s for every 1,000,000 light-years increase in distance.” “unbelievable rate of more than 48,000 km/s.”

p15See 12:2.3 above. See June 2020 article in Phys.org supporting the theory that the universe has been rotating from the beginning “An analysis of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies has revealed unexpected links between spin directions of galaxies, and the structure formed by these links might suggest that the early universe could have been spinning, according to a Kansas State University study.”

Section 5: Space and Time

p1: See the UBtheNEWS: Space Respiration research page.

p5Tigran Aivazian annotation (from 130:7.6): seven different conceptions of space: These seven dimensions of space are the same as the seven dimensions of human type of personality as explained in 112:1.9. The perception of the seven dimensions of space is in principle achievable even on the material level of existence, despite the claim of human mind being “rigidly space-bound” in 12:5.5. There is no real contradiction between what the Perfector of Wisdom is teaching us in Paper 12 and what Jesus is teaching the Mithraic mystic at Carthage, as long as we understand that the angelic teachings are usually very basic, whereas Jesus is here addressing a highly advanced individual.

physics (chemistry) is used six paragraphs and every time it is used in association with chemistry. See: (12:9.3), (58:2.3), (65:6.8), (66:5.24), (102:4.6), and (195:6.11). Chemistry also appears at: (41:2.6), (42:9.1), (49:5.19), (65:6.1), (74:6.3), and (81:2.9).

cosmology appears in fourteen paragraphs: (12:9.3), (55:5.6), (56:10.2,3,8), (94:11.12), (94:12.1), (98:7.6), (99:4.13), (101:1.5), (101:4.1,2,5), (111:4.4).
