“I came face to face with Eternity and Perfection,” Adam said, speaking into infinite space and to no one in particular. “Perfection took two forms. One was the Ether and the other truly exists. If it existed by itself and were not separated evenly and equally, one particle from another, there would be no light, no life, and no motion. Only absolute zero would prevail in the entire universe. No power known to man could convert any part of the ultimate particle of that Ether to anything lesser. It cannot be ground or cut down. “There was a separation of these particles, though, and the separation was exactly equal in volume to the volume taken up by the solid ether itself. This separation, this moving aside of the sad 1 met a particles, caused a space where there was no Ether, no anything, and the Ether tried to fill this space again. As it did so, new areas of the Absence of Ether emerged. Some of these became permanent as little spheres or cavities or bubbles, which were formed by the placement of Ether particles in a curved position, or in the form of the arc. Once formed into spherical shapes, these little vacuums could not be filled again because Ether particles had placed themselves in a spherical and arched position around an area. “Throughout all space the Ether heaved up and became separated, in exactly one-half. Its action could be likened to a huge block of metal which appears solid. Suddenly something wat . separates all the atoms from one another, leaving a space between them equal to that occupied by the atoms themselves. This block of metal would no longer be solid, but would be fluid, gaseous and in motion. The atoms move around and try to fill up the dividing vacuums, but for some reason cannot. Thus, half the volume would be absence of Atoms, and half would be Atoms, “Yet, the atoms themselves are mere bubbles in this Ether. Some of these bubbles are too large because they were formed at the speed of light when the Ether tried, by its own pressure stress, to fill in the vacant space, and the arcs of the bubbles 136 SON OF THE SUN was the Absence of Ether. The Ether is the only substance that but motion of the atoms would be the rule.
