Bio
Nigel began studying The Urantia Book in 1979. By 1996, in order to better understand Urantia Book cosmology, he pursued advanced education. Nigel has a Bachelors degree in Mathematics and Astrophysics at the Australian National University.
Contributions in Subatomic Physics and Astronomy
Nigel’s work with developing an understanding of absoluta, segregata, ultimata, and gravita is highly recommended and, seems to stand alone as a study aid. (If there is other work that you think should be included, please get in touch.)
Written work with insightful illustrations
Science and Cosmology slides with script pdf’s. (The first three parts are outreach/introductory in nature and can be viewed on his YouTube channel.):
Part 4A: Foundations
Part 4B: Mass and Matter
Part 4C: Exploding Dark Islands
The Massive Orvonton paper was published in April 2017, prior to the creation of the above slide presentation and is highly recommended. It has a different overall organization to it. Material about absolute, segregate, ultimata, and gravita is discussed toward the end of this paper. This paper represents work about the structure of Orvonton (the Milky Way) that seems to have the most consensus supporting it, amongst those of us who have academic and professional credentials, at least. The illustrations are especially helpful to understanding the material.
Video
Nigel has YouTube channel. It features educational videos, some of which have an outreach/introductory nature. The first four segments of the “Urantia Book cosmology” series runs a total of about 70 minutes. These slide presentation videos explain how matter is created, which involves developing an understanding of how The Urantia Book uses the coined words absoluta, segregata, ultimata, and gravita.

The fifth video—4D—conjectures about Andromeda eventually joining Orvonton as an inhabited major sector. The characterization of the Milky Way Galaxy and how the authors use the term “galaxy” and Orvonton in relationship to each other seems in the range of either being incongruent with the Massive Orvonton paper or taking advantage of ambiguities in that paper. See the cross-reference study: Milky Way Galaxy/(sub)(super)galactic for a comprehensive understanding of how the authors use these terms.
This perspective being offered about Andromeda joining Orvonton is not new and can be found, for instance, in a paper by George Park, published in July 2013 titled: Finding the Isle of Paradise (see bottom of page 5).
That being said, the graphics are otherwise excellent and generally are well used to provide an understanding of contemporary physics and astronomy: Urantia Book cosmology: 4D – Ancient Orvonton. Here are the PDF’s with text and graphics from the video: Part I; Part II.
By way of further response, beyond the Milky Way Galaxy cross-reference study referenced above, a new Topical Study was created: Astronomy. Feel free to get in touch about it with constructive comments or links to related materials. Thanks.
