I. Paradise Dimensions
Shape and dimensional ratios
Ellipsoid. N-S diameter = E-W × 7/6. Depth (upper to nether) = E-W × 1/10. Essentially flat.
Absolute direction
Dimensional asymmetry + stationary status + greater north-end force out-pressure → absolute direction in the master universe.
Force-energy differential
Greater force-pressure at north than south (uniformly registered). Mother force flows in at south, out at north. East-west pressure differences also noted.
Mid-zone pulsation cycles
Three cycles, hierarchically ordered: east-west (least), north-south (next), generalized expansion-contraction (greatest).
Outer zone force cycle
A little more than 1 billion Urantia years outgoing, then similar period incoming. Manifestations extend throughout all pervadable space.
Peripheral scale
7 trillion Creator Son reservations (~4% of assigned peripheral area). Overall Paradise utilization: 1–4%. Assigned area ≥ 1,000,000× actual need.
II. Central Universe Measurements
Havona sphere count
One billion spheres. Enormous dimensions, almost unbelievable mass.
Circuit world distribution
7 concentric circuits. Innermost (closest to Paradise): upwards of 35 million worlds. Outermost (farthest from Paradise): over 245 million. Proportionate numbers between. Count increases outward.
Central universe plane
One vast plane containing 10 concentric stabilized units: 3 Paradise satellite circuits + 7 Havona circuits. All physically one system.
Dark gravity bodies — belts
Two equal elliptical circuits divided by a space intrusion. Inner belt (closer to Havona): counterclockwise. Outer belt (closer to superuniverses): clockwise. Completely enshroud Havona — invisible from outside.
Dark gravity body dimensions
Inner belt: tubular, cross-section shows 3 concentric circles of ~equal density. Outer belt: perpendicular arrangement, 10,000× higher than inner belt. Outer belt up-and-down diameter = 50,000× its transverse diameter.
Central universe mass
Far in excess of total known mass of all seven superuniverse sectors combined. Mass dominated by the dark gravity bodies.
Havona sphere size and stability
Enormous — uniquely large among inhabited worlds. Triata constitution + dark gravity body balancing + antigravity = physical stability.
Havona material constitution
Exactly 1,000 basic chemical elements. 7 energy forms × 7 phases = 49 sensation stimuli. Threefold energy system (vs. twofold in superuniverses).
III. Architectural Sphere Dimensions
Governing principle
“…increase in material size, morontia beauty, and spirit glory from Jerusem to the central Isle.”
System level (Satania)
57 architectural spheres. Jerusem: ~100× Urantia (gravity a trifle less). 7 transition worlds: ~10× Urantia. 49 subsatellites (incl. mansion worlds): ~1× Urantia.
Constellation level (Norlatiadek)
771 architectural spheres. Edentia: ~100× Urantia. 70 satellites of socializing culture. 700 spheres of progressive training.
Sizing pattern (derived)
At both system and constellation levels: headquarters ~100×, major satellites ~10×, minor satellites ~1× Urantia.
Edentia sea of glass
Circular crystal, ~100 miles circumference, ~30 miles depth. Receiving field for transport seraphim.
Jerusem highest elevation
Mount Seraph: almost 15,000 feet. Departure point for all transport seraphim.
Local universe level (Nebadon)
Salvington + 10 university clusters × 49 spheres = 491 spheres. No size data given for Salvington or satellites.
Minor sector level (Ensa)
Uminor the third + 7 spheres = 8 spheres. No size data given.
Major sector level (Splandon)
Umajor the fifth + 70 spheres = 71 spheres. No size data given.
Superuniverse level (Orvonton)
Uversa + 7 clusters × 70 specialized worlds = 491 spheres. No size data given.
Total architectural spheres in Nebadon
647,591.
IV. System Standards
Administrative divisions
1,000 latitudinal sectors. 10,000 longitudinal zones. 7 major capitals, 70 minor administrative centers.
Standard mile
1 Jerusem standard mile ≈ 7 Urantia miles.
Standard weight (gradant)
Built from the mature ultimaton through the decimal system. 1 gradant ≈ 10 Urantia ounces.
Satania day
3 Urantia days minus 1 hour, 4 minutes, 15 seconds. Equals one axial revolution of Jerusem.
System year
100 Jerusem days.
Temperature range
Full-light: ~70°F. Light recession: below ~50°F. Heat produced by energy resistance in zone channels.
Lighting system
100,000 energy centers project through atmosphere to electric air-ceiling. Light intensity ≈ Urantia sunlight at 10:00 AM. Uniform for 75% of Jerusem day, then gradual recession to full-moonlight equivalent.
Surface transport speeds
Energy currents at 10-mile intervals. Material beings: 2–500 mph. Transport birds: ~100 mph. Material Sons' air mechanisms: ~500 mph.
Seraphic transport departure
Takeoff: ~25 standard miles/second. Standard velocity reached after 2,000+ miles from Jerusem. Departs every 3 seconds of Urantia time during light period.
Exhibit panorama circumference
5,000 standard miles (~35,000 Urantia miles). Encircles the seven angel circles; depicts advancing status of Satania's inhabited worlds.
V. Particle & Atomic Measurements
Ultimaton count per electron
Exactly 100 ultimatons per typical electron. Never more nor less. Loss of any ultimaton destroys typical identity, producing one of 10 modified electron forms.
Atomic diameter
A trifle over 1/100,000,000 inch.
Electron-to-hydrogen mass ratio
An electron's mass is slightly above 1/2,000 of a hydrogen atom. The proton is roughly 2,000 times heavier yet may occupy no more space than the electron.
Magnification analogies
If electron mass scaled to 1/10 oz with proportionate size: electron volume = Earth. If proton (1,800× heavier) scaled to pinhead: pinhead diameter = Earth's orbit around the sun.
Intra-atomic proportions
The electron-to-nucleus spacing resembles the Mercury-to-Sun distance; orbital electrons enjoy proportionally as much room as planets circling their star.
Subatomic velocities
Radium positive particles: 10,000 miles/second. Radium negative particles: approaching light speed. Electronic axial and orbital velocities: beyond human imagination.
Atomic elements (decimal)
A dual-energy universe supports exactly 100 distinct atomic types, ranging from 1 to 100 orbital electrons. This represents the upper limit of stable matter in Nebadon; a 101st electron triggers immediate disruption.
Mesotron mass
180× the electron mass. Holds charged protons and uncharged neutrons together via reciprocating function.
Wave-to-particle ratio
Wavelike energy ripples = 860× the diameter of the performing unit (ultimaton, electron, atom, or other). Universal ratio across all material scales.
Wave energy octaves
100 octaves in Orvonton. 64 wholly or partially recognized on Urantia. Sun's rays = 4 octaves. Visible light = octave 46.
Minimum space-matter density
~100 ultimatons (= 1 electron) per cubic inch in the most nearly empty space of Nebadon. Regarded as practically empty.
Mass-energy relationship
Δm = ΔE / c²
VI. Velocity Hierarchy
Material surface transport (Jerusem)
2–500 mph (material beings). ~100 mph (transport birds). ~500 mph (Material Sons' air mechanisms).
Seraphic transport departure (Jerusem)
~25 standard miles/second at takeoff (~175 Urantia miles/second). Standard velocity reached only after 2,000+ miles from Jerusem. Departs every 3 seconds.
Radium particle velocities
Positive particles: 10,000 miles/second. Negative particles: approaching light speed.
Nonenseraphimed beings (1× light)
~186,280 miles/second. The standard velocity limit for most nonenseraphimed beings.
Midway creatures (2× light)
372,560 miles/second. “…midway creatures and certain others can, often do, attain double velocity.”
Seraphim / transport angels (3× light)
~558,840 miles/second (theoretical maximum). Practical long-journey average: 555,000–559,000 miles/second. Triple velocity achieved by superimposing three energy lines, each at 186,280 miles/second.
Solitary Messengers
Variable, far exceeding seraphic speeds. Recorded speed: 841,621,642,000 miles/second. Only personalized beings functioning between seraphic velocity and instantaneous gravity transit.
Gravity traversers
Instantaneous. Not limited by time or space. These are not persons — no personalized beings function at gravity-traverser speeds except Solitary Messengers.
Apparent outer-space recession (illusory)
Appears: >100 miles/second per million light-years of distance. Extrapolated: >30,000 miles/second for most distant systems. Not real — results from observation angles, spectral distortions, and opposite rotational directions.
