Interesting development: for 40 years cosmologists have been arguing about the best way to simulate (1) the clustering of galaxies and (2) the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies. Invisible (dark) matter works well for explaining the clustering, but modified Newtonian gravity works better for spiral galaxies.

Around 2015, researchers began to take seriously the idea that there might be at least two distinct types of invisible mass: one kind that forms halos around galaxies, and another that forms a superfluid disk of axion-like particles within galaxies. This is very nearly the exact same picture presented in the Urantia Book: halos of segregata, within which whirlpools of ultimata form.

This kind of two-phase model for dark matter has now reached the pop.sci domain: in the links below, Sabine Hossenfelder sketches the idea. See especially from time 9:10 in the video, where she proposes that all we need are (1) a new field and (2) a new particle formed by a phase transition of that field. Her "field" becomes our pool of segregata, and her "particle" becomes our quantized vortex in that field, the ultimaton.

Transcript: Dark Matter - the situation has changed

Of course one significant difference is that the Urantia Book uses those axion-like particles as "preons" with which to build standard model particles (leptons and quarks) from clusters of clusters of huddling ultimatons.

stay tuned!

Very interesting Nigel. I've been wondering lately about the connection between "black holes" and what the Urantia Book calls "dark islands". I would love to hear your thoughts about it. Thank you!

Hi nodAmanaV,

I approach black holes with a question: what happens when you try to squeeze all the space out of a big ball of matter?

Native astrophysics has worked out how medium sized stars can cool and contract to become white dwarfs, and how larger stars can collapse as neutron stars. But the fun begins when a neutron star, in a binary system, with an accretion disk, pulls in a little bit too much mass, and starts to collapse.

See this YouTube video (or this pdf script) for what I believe happens next.

The idea is that if a dark island accumulates enough mass for its self-gravity to force the ultimatons in its collapsed matter to come too close together, the "mother of all exclusion principles" kicks in. I think this is what the UB means by "the limiting and critical explosion point of ultimatonic condensation" (see 41:3.6 and 41:7.15).

But if dark islands explode upon reaching a certain mass, then we face the question: what are the supermassive objects that appear to anchor galaxies? My first thought is that they are some kind of (absonite?) artifact left by the perpendicular departure of the Associate Transcendental Master Force Organizer who spun up that system of stars. Maybe something like the belts of dark gravity bodies surrounding Havona?

Fun to speculate!

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for linking your video. It was very informative and enjoyable to watch. And you can say that again, it certainly is fun to speculate! I see you have more videos. I will check them out too.

Isn't it interesting how YouTube will throw up videos to watch based on a person's interests? Sometimes even things that clearly appears to be based on a phone's ability to listen in on a conversation? You know, how the same kinds of videos keep showing up?

But not about the Urantia Book LOL

Gee, I wonder why? I guess the powers that be have an interest in keeping the Urantia Book in the dark.

Thanks again Nigel. I find your work tying the Urantia Book's information to the current usage of scientific terminology very helpful.

God bless!
