Nashville (Pinionwire): The Urantia Book<\/em>, published in 1955, presents an entirely different cosmological model which accounts for anomalies the current standard model cannot explain. Specifically, the book describes the universe as having an absolute gravitational center, the Isle of Paradise, which is the source of space and time and holds the vast material creation in its grasp. The structured universe described in the Urantia Book<\/em> accounts for the numerous anomalies piling up around the current cosmological assumption: the universe has no center, and all mass is flying apart with increasing acceleration as a result of the Big Bang at the beginning of time, 13.8 billion years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPtolemy placed Earth at the center. Copernicus moved the center to the sun. Einstein’s Cosmological Principle removed the center entirely \u2014 a mathematical necessity that became the foundation of every standard model that followed,\u201d writes David Neufer<\/a>.  \u201cThe Urantia Papers disclose a cosmos with a center: Paradise, stationary, absolute, the geographic origin of all force-energy in the material creation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Cosmological Principle is the assumption that the universe, viewed at sufficiently large scales, is homogeneous (the same everywhere) and isotropic (the same in every direction). No location is special. No direction is preferred. There is no center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEinstein adopted this assumption in 1917 as a mathematical simplification. His field equations of General Relativity are extremely difficult to solve for an entire universe. The Cosmological Principle made them solvable, allowing Einstein, Friedmann, Lema\u00eetre, Robertson, and Walker to reduce the full complexity of the field equations to a single metric \u2014 the FLRW metric \u2014 describing a uniformly expanding or contracting space. The assumption was not a measurement <\/em>[emphasis added]. It was adopted because without it, the mathematics did not yield a tractable solution. Einstein himself introduced the cosmological constant \u039b in the same 1917 paper, attempting to force a static universe from equations that naturally predicted a dynamic one \u2014 a decision he later called his greatest blunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom it, a derivation chain follows: the FLRW metric yields the Friedmann equations; the Friedmann equations produce the Hubble parameter H0<\/sub>; from H0<\/sub> every other derived quantity follows \u2014 co-moving distances, lookback times, the 13.8-billion-year age of the universe, and the density parameters that divide the total energy budget, hypothetically, into approximately 5% ordinary matter, 27% dark matter, and 68% dark energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObservations of Type Ia supernovae in the late 1990s established that the expansion of the universe is accelerating \u2014 increasing in speed rather than slowing under gravity as standard models had predicted. Within the FLRW framework this acceleration requires a repulsive energy component. The standard model names it dark energy, assigns it approximately 68% of the total energy budget, and has not detected it. Together with dark matter, the two undetected components account for approximately 95% of the universe’s total energy content in the standard model \u2014 leaving roughly 5% for the matter that instruments have actually measured<\/em> [emphasis added].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the Papers disclose in its place is structural. The semiquiet zones between space levels are permanent features of enormous scale. \u2018Such an arrangement exerts antigravity influence and acts as a brake upon otherwise dangerous velocities.\u2019 (UB 11:7.9<\/a>) The standard model requires a repulsive energy because it has no architectural category for large-scale antigravity. The disclosed architecture names exactly this category as a feature of the spatial structure \u2014 not a postulated energy with no laboratory analog, but a disclosed property of the boundaries between organized space levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does the Urantia Book<\/em> account for the absence of \u201cdark matter\/energy,\u201d but also Hubble tension anomalies, accelerating expansion, cosmic microwave background anomalies, and the problem of extremely distant mature galaxies, which according to the standard model should not exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNeufer\u2019s Ptolemaic analogy is spot on, because for hundreds of years, astronomers, had to keep adding wheels around the earth to account for the observed movements of planets and stars, said Urantia Corps for Spiritual Progress<\/a> (UCSP) founder, Rebecca Bynum. \u201cThe mathematics worked; its predictions were accurate, but its primary assumption that the earth was the center of the cosmos was completely wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are living through a time when many of the old, seemingly solid assumptions of the past are dying and a new, expanded reality is beginning to come into view,\u201d added UCSP founding member, Cheryl Philllips. \u201cWe live in a structured universe, even the very cells in our bodies are unbelievably complex. Scientific evidence increasingly points to an over-arching intelligent creator, and over time the Urantia Book<\/em>\u2019s account of creation and the structure of reality conform ever more closely with scientific observations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
