Tycho’s Nova: The statement that Tycho’s Nova was a double star explosion was confirmed in the 1970’s. Eventually, the companion star was also discovered.
Space Respiration: Support for the two billion year space respiration cycle described in the Urantia Papers is developing.
Revolving Universe: Material creation is said to revolve around the stationary Isle of Paradise. A revolving universe resolves the Hubble tension.
Galaxies: This report concerns both over and underestimations of the number of galaxies. At the time of publication, it was not widely believed that deep space telescopes could be so penetrating.
Inner Ionosphere report: Documentation of blue jets and other atmospheric science advances support the assertion that there is an inner ionosphere.
Sierra Mountains report: The age of the Sierra’s was controversial until studies of water in clay samples were used to verify the date in the Urantia Papers.
Shroud of Turin report: The recounting of Jesus’ resurrection provides an explanation for numerous mysterious aspects of the Shroud of Turin.
Topical Studies:
Absoluta, Segregata, Ultimata, Gravita by Nigel Nunn: This concerns how original energy first gets condensed into matter. Highly recommended.
Astronomy: This is a work-in-progress.
Far-Distant: Important for understanding how this term is used in various contexts.
Milky Way Galaxy/(sub)(super)galactic: It is important to know how terminology is used. The Milky Way Galaxy relates to the superuniverse of Orvonton.
[See the list of Urantia Book scholars working on astronomy issues and their contributions.]
Undiscovered: If you do not know about Joseph Newman’s explanation of atomic physics and how to efficiently get energy from matter, this might relate to statements in The Urantia Book about an undiscovered form of energy. Joseph Newman, apparently, never heard of The Urantia Book.
