Physical Aspects of the Local Universe

41:9.1The larger suns main­tain such a grav­ity con­trol over their elec­trons that light es­capes only with the aid of the pow­er­ful X rays. These helper rays pen­e­trate all space and are con­cerned in the main­te­nance of the ba­sic ul­ti­ma­tonic as­so­ci­a­tions of en­ergy. The great en­ergy losses in the early days of a sun, sub­se­quent to its at­tain­ment of max­i­mum tem­per­a­ture—up­wards of 35,000,000 de­grees—are not so much due to light es­cape as to ul­ti­ma­tonic leak­age. These ul­ti­ma­ton en­er­gies es­cape out into space, to en­gage in the ad­ven­ture of elec­tronic as­so­ci­a­tion and en­ergy ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion, as a ver­i­ta­ble en­ergy blast dur­ing ado­les­cent so­lar times.

41:9.2Atoms and elec­trons are sub­ject to grav­ity. The ul­ti­ma­tons are not sub­ject to lo­cal grav­ity, the in­ter­play of ma­te­rial at­trac­tion, but they are fully obe­di­ent to ab­so­lute or Par­a­dise grav­ity, to the trend, the swing, of the uni­ver­sal and eter­nal cir­cle of the uni­verse of uni­verses. Ul­ti­ma­tonic en­ergy does not obey the lin­ear or di­rect grav­ity at­trac­tion of near-by or re­mote ma­te­rial masses, but it does ever swing true to the cir­cuit of the great el­lipse of the far-flung cre­ation.

41:9.3Your own so­lar cen­ter ra­di­ates al­most one hun­dred bil­lion tons of ac­tual mat­ter an­nu­ally, while the gi­ant suns lose mat­ter at a prodi­gious rate dur­ing their ear­lier growth, the first bil­lion years. A sun’s life be­comes sta­ble af­ter the max­i­mum of in­ter­nal tem­per­a­ture is reached, and the sub­atomic en­er­gies be­gin to be re­leased. And it is just at this crit­i­cal point that the larger suns are given to con­vul­sive pul­sa­tions.

41:9.4Sun sta­bil­ity is wholly de­pen­dent on the equi­lib­rium be­tween grav­ity-heat con­ten­tion—tremen­dous pres­sures counter­balanced by unimag­ined tem­per­a­tures. The in­te­rior gas elas­tic­ity of the suns up­holds the over­ly­ing lay­ers of var­ied ma­te­ri­als, and when grav­ity and heat are in equi­lib­rium, the weight of the outer ma­te­ri­als ex­actly equals the tem­per­a­ture pres­sure of the un­der­ly­ing and in­te­rior gases. In many of the younger stars con­tin­ued grav­ity con­den­sa­tion pro­duces ever-height­en­ing in­ter­nal tem­per­a­tures, and as in­ter­nal heat in­creases, the in­te­rior X-ray pres­sure of super­gas winds be­comes so great that, in con­nec­tion with the cen­trifu­gal mo­tion, a sun be­gins to throw its ex­te­rior lay­ers off into space, thus re­dress­ing the im­bal­ance be­tween grav­ity and heat.

41:9.5Your own sun has long since at­tained rel­a­tive equi­lib­rium be­tween its ex­pan­sion and con­trac­tion cy­cles, those dis­tur­bances which pro­duce the gi­gan­tic pul­sa­tions of many of the younger stars. Your sun is now pass­ing out of its six bil­lionth year. At the pres­ent time it is func­tion­ing through the pe­riod of great­est econ­omy. It will shine on as of pres­ent ef­fi­ciency for more than twenty-five bil­lion years. It will prob­a­bly ex­pe­ri­ence a par­tially ef­fi­cient pe­riod of de­cline as long as the com­bined pe­ri­ods of its youth and sta­bi­lized func­tion.
