if Cosmic gravity is independent of time and space, or space is not affected by cosmic/physical gravity – then Einstein must be wrong. His ideas about timespace and both being warped and distorted by physical gravity are not correct.
Your conclusion must be essentially correct, if the Book’s description of how the physical universe is organized is true. The absolute cosmic gravity of Paradise is a long-range force acting upon the whole cosmos, causing all galaxies to ultimately revolve about Paradise in several concentrically arranged space levels. Whereas, “Linear gravity is the short-range cohesive force of the macrocosmos somewhat as the forces of intra-atomic cohesion are the short-range forces of the microcosmos.” (42:11.5) Just as cohesive forces on the atomic scale act quite differently from the force of linear gravity, so linear gravity on the galactic scale acts quite differently from the force of absolute gravity acting on truly cosmic scales. Since Einstein’s general theory of relativity is just a refinement of the linear gravity first described by Newton more than three centuries ago, this cosmically short-range force cannot possibly describe or explain how the universe is organized. Trying to apply general relativity to the universe is like trying to describe the motions of the planets around the sun with the equations of quantum mechanics, which are only valid on the atomic scale. It cannot be done.
While general relativity does not apply above the galactic scale, according to the Book, Einstein’s discovery of the physical relativity of time and space was nevertheless a metaphysical bolt of lightning that exploded Newton’s universal assumptions of the immovability of absolute space and the invariable motion of absolute time. Following Einstein, absolute space, time, mass and motion were all rejected from physics as metaphysical nonsense, leaving only relativistic concepts of space, time, energy-mass and motion. In the cosmology of general relativity the universe must expand from every point in every direction in the same way, so it cannot have a single absolute center of any kind. This directly contradicts the Book’s assertion that Paradise is at the absolute center of the universe. However, the Book does not assert that either time or space is absolute.
General relativity is built upon Einstein’s special theory of relativity. The most famous equation of special relativity is that of energy-mass equivalence E=mc2, which arises from the relativity of time and space. The Book specifically validates this relativistic equation: “The increase of mass in matter is equal to the increase of energy divided by the square of the velocity of light.” (42:4.11) But in the very next sentence it places this equation for the total energy of resting mass in the cosmic context of its distance from Paradise. The original equation describes the energy equivalent of “the attraction exerted by the parts of matter on one another.” The author then expands this to include factors relating to “the energy expended in bringing its parts together from Paradise minus the resistance of the forces overcome in transit.” Underlying the relativity of time and space discovered by Einstein is the absolute distance from absolutely stationary Paradise and its absolute forces. This is a larger metaphysical truth about the universe which is only found in the fifth epochal revelation.
