Energy—Mind and Matter

42:6.1While the space charge of uni­ver­sal force is ho­mo­ge­neous and un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated, the or­ga­ni­za­tion of evolved en­ergy into mat­ter en­tails the con­cen­tra­tion of en­ergy into dis­crete masses of def­i­nite di­men­sions and es­tab­lished weight—pre­cise grav­ity re­ac­tion.

42:6.2Lo­cal or lin­ear grav­ity be­comes fully op­er­a­tive with the ap­pear­ance of the atomic or­ga­ni­za­tion of mat­ter. Preatomic mat­ter be­comes slightly grav­ity re­spon­sive when ac­ti­vated by X ray and other sim­i­lar en­er­gies, but no mea­sur­able lin­ear-grav­ity pull is ex­erted on free, un­at­tached, and un­charged elec­tronic-en­ergy par­ti­cles or on unas­so­ci­ated ul­ti­ma­tons.

42:6.3Ul­ti­ma­tons func­tion by mu­tual at­trac­tion, re­spond­ing only to the cir­cu­lar Par­a­dise-grav­ity pull. With­out lin­ear-grav­ity re­sponse they are thus held in the uni­ver­sal space drift. Ul­ti­ma­tons are ca­pa­ble of ac­cel­er­at­ing rev­o­lu­tion­ary ve­loc­ity to the point of par­tial anti­grav­ity be­hav­ior, but they can­not, in­de­pen­dent of force or­ga­niz­ers or power di­rec­tors, at­tain the crit­i­cal es­cape ve­loc­ity of dein­di­vid­u­a­tion, re­turn to the puis­sant-en­ergy stage. In na­ture, ul­ti­ma­tons es­cape the sta­tus of phys­i­cal ex­is­tence only when par­tic­i­pat­ing in the ter­mi­nal dis­rup­tion of a cooled-off and dy­ing sun.

42:6.4The ul­ti­ma­tons, un­known on Uran­tia, slow down through many phases of phys­i­cal ac­tiv­ity be­fore they at­tain the rev­o­lu­tion­ary-en­ergy pre­req­ui­sites to elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion. Ul­ti­ma­tons have three va­ri­eties of mo­tion: mu­tual re­sis­tance to cos­mic force, in­di­vid­ual rev­o­lu­tions of anti­grav­ity po­ten­tial, and the in­tra­elec­tronic po­si­tions of the one hun­dred mu­tu­ally in­teras­so­ci­ated ul­ti­ma­tons.

42:6.5Mu­tual at­trac­tion holds one hun­dred ul­ti­ma­tons to­gether in the con­sti­tu­tion of the elec­tron; and there are never more nor less than one hun­dred ul­ti­ma­tons in a typ­i­cal elec­tron. The loss of one or more ul­ti­ma­tons de­stroys typ­i­cal elec­tronic iden­tity, thus bring­ing into ex­is­tence one of the ten mod­i­fied forms of the elec­tron.

42:6.6Ul­ti­ma­tons do not de­scribe or­bits or whirl about in cir­cuits within the elec­trons, but they do spread or clus­ter in ac­cor­dance with their ax­ial rev­o­lu­tion­ary ve­loc­i­ties, thus de­ter­min­ing the dif­fer­en­tial elec­tronic di­men­sions. This same ul­ti­ma­tonic ve­loc­ity of ax­ial rev­o­lu­tion also de­ter­mines the neg­a­tive or pos­i­tive re­ac­tions of the sev­eral types of elec­tronic units. The en­tire seg­re­ga­tion and group­ing of elec­tronic mat­ter, to­gether with the elec­tric dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion of neg­a­tive and pos­i­tive bod­ies of en­ergy-mat­ter, re­sult from these var­i­ous func­tions of the com­po­nent ul­ti­ma­tonic in­teras­so­ci­a­tion.

42:6.7Each atom is a tri­fle over 1/100,000,000^th of an inch in di­am­e­ter, while an elec­tron weighs a lit­tle more than 1/2,000^th of the small­est atom, hy­dro­gen. The pos­i­tive pro­ton, char­ac­ter­is­tic of the atomic nu­cleus, while it may be no larger than a neg­a­tive elec­tron, weighs al­most two thou­sand times more.

42:6.8If the mass of mat­ter should be mag­ni­fied un­til that of an elec­tron equaled one tenth of an ounce, then were size to be pro­por­tion­ately mag­ni­fied, the vol­ume of such an elec­tron would be­come as large as that of the earth. If the vol­ume of a pro­ton—eigh­teen hun­dred times as heavy as an elec­tron—should be mag­ni­fied to the size of the head of a pin, then, in com­par­i­son, a pin’s head would at­tain a di­am­e­ter equal to that of the earth’s or­bit around the sun.
