What is Relativity? by Landau & Rumer

Good and simple to read into understanding the theories of relativity. In a nutshell the theory of relativity says that many things that we think of as being fixed are actuality relative. For example "UP" is relative to the viewer. For instance up for somebody in the U.S. is in the opposite direction of up to someone in China, for the earth is a sphere and not flat. What relativity explains is that even time and space are relative and can be different to 2 different viewers, for someone that is in the event and the other who is the observer. I can apply this to us physical embodied beings being in time and space, while God the active, observer watches us over us from outside of that realm.

A Spiritual Journey

My spiritual journey began with the study of science, more specifically the study of what makes up matter and the fundamentals of physics. Knowing more about the natural should lead us to a better understanding about the spiritual. There are many things that science can't explain even unto this day. Things that aren't understood concretely or even vaguely like what light is made of and how it is dispensed. Physicist have many theories but very few concrete evidence to prove them. One cannot say that there is no God, for then how did all these complex and critically working laws and natural mechanisms come to be... by chance? I do not think so. Evolution from nothingness? I do not think so.
