Beyond Newtonian, that is. I've been wondering if the equation of E=mc2 (I don't even know how to type the 2 so it squares the c) relates to "speaking things into existence," or faith as a type of energy to change matter.

As I understand it, with my limited grasp of this subject, all energy is matter and all matter is energy. The constant, which is the speed of light (squared) is the relationship between the two.

When we expend energy to believe, or to have faith, can these thoughts or beliefs translate into materialization of matter, or change matter? For example, this would seem to be the basis for many of Jesus's teachings about how to move a mountain, or how to heal the sick. "Only believe," and "do not doubt in your heart," etc. My question is, does what Jesus taught have anything to do with the formula for which Einstein is accredited?

I tried to look into this, but only came up with a bunch of metaphysical crap. Maybe I'm full of crap.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

How much do you know about Quantum Physics and Superstring theory?

Nothing or something next to it with regard to Quantum Physics and nada about superstring theory. So, could you please talk to me as if I were two years old? Thanks.

that's an interesting concept. As always i'm having difficulty in phrasing the spiritual actions and concepts into understandable language, so bear with me a bit, ok?

Einstein's theory is relative, in that it only applies to things and dimentions that are recognized on earth. But God is outside those dimentions and is not limited by any of them because He created them.

To understand the effects of an unlimited God in our dimention, we would have to imagine that we were three dimentional people (leingth, bredth and height), visiting a two dimentional world (leingth and breadth).

the act of walking is simple and understandable for us. But to them would be like seeing a right foot appear and then disappear. then another foot, left this time, appear and disappear. If we were running the appearance and disappearance of the feet would be sudden and swift. but if we were standing in place they might be there for some time before disappearing again.

Now how does this relate to God? He has promised to hear the prayers of His children (us) and to act on them in accordance with His will. Sometimes He answers prayers by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, encouraging others to act on our behalf.

But other times He acts directly, reaching from His unlimited dimention into our three dimentional world. When that happens we call the actions miracles, in the same way that a two dimentional person would view running feet.

But the greatest continuous miracle of all was when God came down to earth in the form of a man and walked among us, suffered abuse, gave his life for us, and still continues to love us.

Has God not created the ability in our own dimensions to act within them?

Is the holy spirit a force faster than the speed of light, such that when we are imbued with it or inhabited by it, cause us to affect matter, move matter, create matter?

Does having the holy spirit indwell within us give us power to change matter because we don't even need to form thoughts to believe, and the holy spirit quickens or moves with a speed enabling transformation of matter?

Is the holy spirit able to manifest at the speed of light many times over?

A big part of what Einstein's formula states is that matter and energy are the same stuff. What Quantum Physics adds to it is that if you break down matter far enough what you end up with is energy and that energy dances back and forth between being energy and what is called a virtual particle. However, because Quantum Physics can only provide the "probability" of a virtual particle existing at any given time it cannot then explain actual physics any further than that.

That's where Superstring Theory comes in. It postulates that energy at it's most fundemental level is actually nothing but a vibration of varying frequencies. This model fits like a puzzle piece right into Quantum Physics. Except for that one thing. What caused the original vibration?

Gen 1:1-5
1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
NKJV

The word "hovering" here could just as easily been translated "vibrated" but if they did, only a physist would understand it! :)

And if that's not enough, look what God does. He vibrates light into existance with His Words.:)

It get's even better, but am I going too fast?

Is this why Paul's shadow healed, why touching Jesus's hem caused him to feel "virtue" leaving him, without him even having a conscious thought to heal?

Is not God light? Is the holy spirit light?

By definition God is beyong light. He created it and is therefore beyond it's constraints.

That's also why He is beyond time. Time is actually the very first thing God created.

Gen 1:1
1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
NKJV
In the beginning actually means "at the very first moment that time existed".

Ok, so all things (every form of energy and every form of matter) are just vibrations of varying frequencies, which God started in motion first by speaking light into existence or setting the vibration in motion. Then he set into vibration other varying frequencies as he continued on in His creation?

Well, does light vibrate at different frequencies? But is not God energy and light Himself?

Oh, and is it relevant that light is made up of particles, at this point?

Oh, ok, God is light plus, I see.

Light does vibrate at different frequencies, that is what causes colors.

God is Light.

Depends, if you test to see if light is a particle, it is. If you test to see if light is a wave, it is. Nothing can be both a wave and a particle. It has to be one or the other. :eek:

Yes, and everything vibrated in perfect harmony with God until Genesis chapter three.

Ok, Ok, I'm with you so far. Except, for the the relationship between time and the speed of light.

In a nutshell, the faster one travels the slower time moves. If you could travel at the speed of light time stops altogether. Time ceases to exist and you would be everywhere at once. Sound familiar? :)
