Dark islands of space
From Urantia Wiki, the encyclopedia of The Urantia Book
Also: dark island of space, dark giant of space, dead giants of space, dark worlds, cold bodies, dense dark islands.
The Dark Islands of Space are the dead suns and other large aggregations of matter devoid of light and heat, enormous in mass. They function as powerful balance wheels, holding large neighboring systems in effective leash. They are locatable by their gravity effect. 15:6.11
collisions of dead giants of sapce convert enormous masses into the rarest form of energy 15:8.6
dark worlds and all outer space can slow down electronic and ultimatonic activity to the point of converting these energies into matter 42:4.9
organized matter tends to disintegrate under certain conditions found in very hot stars and under certain peculiar conditions in space near highly energized cold bodies of condensed matter. 15:8.5
the near approach of a sun to a dark island of space may give birth to a planetary system 15:5.5
In the Urantia Book
Their origin may be due to: (15:5.10-11)
* by accretions of transmuting energy
* by accumulations of cold matter
* from burned-out suns
- Many of these dark islands are vast dynamos which mobilize and directionize certain space-energies, and are used by the Satania Power Center directing the streams of more materialized power to the Master Physical Controllers on the evolutionary planets of space. 41:1.5 41:3.1
Known giants
- The astronomic center of Satania is an enormous dark island of space which, with its attendant spheres, is situated not far from the headquarters of the system government. 41:2.2
- At the center of the Angona system, the system that gave rise to our sun's planetary system, was a dark giant from space, solid, highly charged, and possessing tremendous gravity pull. 57:5.4
