Ch 5 Density & Center of Universe
Dr. Robert J. Moon, physicist, University of Chicago, who is not a geocentricist, wrote on page 26 of 21st Century, May 1988, saying, “free space is not a vacuum, but exhibits impedance, which equals 376+ ohms.” So space (or the firmament) has a structure. According to accepted theory, free space is a vacuum. If this is so, how can it exhibit impedance (resistance)? But it does. The answer is that there is no such thing as a vacuum, and what we call free space actually has a structure.
The weight of the universe is next to nothing compared to the weight of the firmament. The size of the atom is about 10-13 cm. The size of the nucleus of the atom is about a thousandth of that or 10-16 cm. The size of the Planck particle is about 10-33 cm or billions of times smaller.
Isaiah 34:1l says, “...the stones of emptiness”. Compared to Planck particles, the atom is empty. Isaiah 24:1 - “Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty.” The earth, made up of atoms, is basically empty compared to the firmament, which is made up of Planck particles. Both verses, previously considered figurative, now become literal. Plank particles are virtually invisible in the heaven or firmament, “in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible” (Colossians 1:16), a fact already known in scripture.
Normally the earth or stars would be thought to show His handywork, but the density of the universe is next to nothing compared to the firmament, so the “firmament shows his handywork” (Psalm 19:1).
The density in the nucleus of an atom is 2x1014 gm/cm3 (a centimeter is about 3/8 inch). The density of a Planck particle is 3.6x1093 gm/cm3 or many trillions of trillions times more compact. Packing everything in the universe (earth, planets and stars) into a one centimeter cube would only give a density of 2x1054 gm/cm3 or 2x1039 times less than a cube of Planck particles which make up the firmament. “I will make your heaven (firmament) as iron” (Leviticus 26:19). This would seem to make the firmament immovable. Other verses supporting this are: “And the likeness of the firmament was... as the colour of the terrible crystal...” (Ezekiel 1:22). “And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal...” (Revelation 4:6). Glass and crystal are certainly hard and solid like iron.

So far, we have a solid firmament, but it is also clear. “And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven (firmament) in his clearness” (Exodus 24:10). From our viewpoint, the sky or heaven is clear, just empty space. Conversely, “the heavens are not clean in his sight” (Job 15:15). Webster's dictionary says “clean” means free from radioactivity. The firmament is not clean, but packed full of atomic structure (radioactivity) in the heavens. Is there any support for this theory? “And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire...(Rev 15:2). The word “fire” is referring to electromagnetism that is in the firmament. Job 37:18 continues: “the sky, which is  strong, and as a molten looking glass?” The dictionary says “molten” means melting or liquefied by heat or fire. God is omnipotent, infinite, and omnipresent. One cannot cut a region of space so small that God's power therein is not infinite. Hence, God is a plenum, which means - all space every part of which is full of matter. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” (Jeremiah 23:24) This is an understatement. So, the firmament is totally clear so you can see through it, yet is extremely dense with atomic structure including electromagnetism. The problems of mankind begin with a lack of understanding of the firmament. No wonder God didn't call the second day of creation, good, when the firmament was created!
CENTER
Is it possible to know where the center of the universe is and to know what is there? God's word tells us, but we must trust him and his scripture enough to believe him through his word.
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth” (Isaiah 65:17). The following verses tell how this is done. The earth will be present in the new heavens in some form, “...the earth which he hath established for ever.” (Psa 78:69). As the present earth was cleansed by water and not destroyed, it will be cleansed by fire and again not destroyed. The cleansing will melt the elements making up the firmament. Peter 3:12, “...wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” The elements, which are located in the firmament or first heaven, including the sun, moon and stars, all melt and fall to the earth, melting it “...the earth melted” (Psalm 46:6). The present earth will then become the new earth, which is covered by the elements that were in the firmament.
