For example, the Bible says that time was created by God when He created the universe.19 Stephen Hawking, George Ellis, and Roger Penrose extended the equations for general
relativity to include space and time, demonstrating that time began at the formation
of the universe.20 Of course, the biggest coup of the Bible was to declare that the universe had a beginning21 through an expanding universe model.22 The New Testament even declares that the visible creation was made from what was not visible and that dimensions of length, width and height were created by God.23 In addition, the Bible refuted steady - state theory (saying that the creation of matter and energy has ended) 24 long before science made that determinatio
of the universe.20

of matter, and this has never been done.
Gravity from space (Einstein's
relativity) operates on mass through space and
matter interaction is a natural process like centrifugal force which made its appearance when a body is morning in circle Jean mass is the amount
of matter that must be present before gravity becomes effective or felt, once this minimum amount
of matter is reached or exceeded, gravity with mass interact with space - time to bring geodesics and gravity begin to control other bodies and then orbit around each other, another aspect
of the twin effect
of gravity and mass is the necessity to account for energy required to sustain gravitating mass and where does this energy originating from Einstein's field equation says from space but never refer to the origin
of gravitation.

of «the creation and annihilation

relativity of religious traditions that
matters is not their
relativity to each other, but their
relativity — their relate - ivity — to the reality to which they mediate relation.
Concerning
matter - in - motion, it can be noted that mass, length, and velocity are in
relativity no longer unchanging properties
of objects in themselves.
In accordance with classical mechanics and according to the special theory
of relativity, space (space - time) has an existence independent
of matter or field.
Whitehead's «principle
of process,» his «ontological principle,» and his «principle
of relativity» can be regarded as a consistent continuation
of Aristotle's doctrine on becoming as it looks when one suppresses the notion
of a passive and static Aristotelian
matter.
«12 On the other hand for Aristotle it is once again
matter that gives a natural being its potentiality to ground newly arising beings by enabling it to take on endlessly different forms.13 What Whitehead demands with his «principle
of relativity» is furnished in Aristotle by
matter as the ground
of fundamental changeableness and hence
of the process character
of natural beings.
Its
matter - energy
relativities andorganic functions remain part
of my identity and the unity that is «me».
It must also be the expectation
of Science, for everything in the universe is held within the Unity - Law
of Control and Direction... The being
of man comes just as rigidly under the Law
of relativity unto finality, but man is not relative only to
matter, man is relative to God.
It is a Law in
Matter that is cosmic and all - inclusive, so that the entire universe is one equation
of meaningful development in mutual
relativity of part on part at all times and throughout all space.»
General
relativity tells us that what we call space is just another feature
of the gravitational field
of the universe, so space and space - time can and do not exist apart from the
matter and energy that creates the gravitational field.
And as for not responding to Reality, as a
matter of general principle, I thought your were going to say... «as a
matter of General
Relativity»....
Only the Sceptics argued in favour
of the
relativity of all human opinions, especially in
matters of religion.

of Albert Einstein).
In general
relativity, gravity is the result
of matter and energy warping spacetime, creating curves that alter the motion
of objects (SN: 10/17/15, p. 16).
It was not until the detection

matter falling into black holes, that we had evidence that they were real objects and not just mathematical curiosities predicted by Einstein's general theory
of relativity.
That's because, in general
relativity, the expansion
of each local region

All
matter obeys Einstein's equations

of space from which nothing can escape.
Most jarringly, dark
matter could be largely illusory, indicative
of a flaw in our understanding
of gravity via Einstein's theory

Special
relativity grew out
