Robert F. Smith Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 True, but time also slows down for those approaching the speed of light relative to those standing still so I think it illustrates the possibilities and the beginning of understanding how such a being might operate according to our limited understanding. Perhaps in addition to Relativistic we can also say superluminal.--and superliminal.
thesometimesaint Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 BCSpace: Time is relative to the observer, but time still exists. That is why we can look up into the night sky and see billions of lights years away. So far as we know nothing can go faster than the speed of light.
ERayR Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 What Is Technology Like In Heaven? No need for technology with a perfect knowledge of the power of the priesthood. For those who don't have this I imagine technology can be and probably does extend beyond what we can imagine.
Bill “Papa” Lee Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Because for some reason when I think of Telestial, Terrestrial, and Celestial Kingdoms, I think of fantasy settings, which includes castles for kingdoms with thrones, knights, etc in a medieval setting. But it would be cool if we had spaceships and science from the cosmos of science fiction too, so are we sitting on thrones in a castle kingdom, or are we using spaceships flying through the cosmos using technology?All knowledge, odd thar some thing that God could learn from us...when there as Isaiah, revealed from God to the world, we will have access of all things past, all things present and all things future...we will one day see as God sees if scripture is correct. If not we will enter the great void.
Palerider Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 I really think "technology" is a clunky artifice of our present existence. Think more organically only in a spiritual way. "For which one of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?"........We can't right now, but in the celestial worlds? Just imagine thinking about going to Alpha Centauri and instantaneously you're there. Or going back in history to see a three dimensional hologram, perfect in every way, of Custer's last stand and be able to know perfectly the intimate thoughts and feelings of each participant in that horrific scene. 1
changed Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 So, I heard a rumor that the largest chunk of he church's budget goes to supporting familysearch.org - that the data on it is supposed to last 1,000 years, can anyone confirm this rumor?Looking forward to the devotional tonight, nice that the church has a website that can handle millions of people all logging in at the same time
strappinglad Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 The story I am about to relate is apocryphal .There are no names as I can't answer any CFR. Read at your own risk. On my mission there arose a story about a fellow on a mission in Mexico. He was an elderly widower who had elected to serve after his wife passed. The part that pertains to the OP is when he related being taken by an angel in a flying vessel over the countryside of his area and he received information about a family that needed his visit. If true, then shuttle craft are available for use by heavenly beings. I note that whenever a prophet is given a vision from an exceedingly high mountain, it says he was 'carried' there. Some sort of vehicle is one way to do it. The writer(LDS?) of the original Battlestar Galactica series had an interesting take on the situation. He presented in the last episodes, the arrival of an immense space ship piloted by celestial beings. He also had characters named Adama, Lucifer, Satan, as well as a council of 12.

Please don't look take the fiction as fact.

However, whether they are yet converted to a form which will last a millennium I don't know. The technology has come online too recently.(2) since an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) can instantly wipe out any conventional digital memory (hard drives, DVDs, etc.), and since they naturally degrade anyhow, the shift is now to Millennium Disks, which are made of ceramic material and can withstand an EMP. They are reasonably priced and readily available now. 1
changed Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) I wonder how many millennium disks it would take? Now that you can upload picts / stories etc. etc. that has to be a lot of memory!. (1)Millennium Disks, which are made of ceramic material Edited December 9, 2013 by changed
