Monmatia

From the Andronover nebula to the inland seas of Urantia

This plate renders the Urantia Papers' own account in Paper 57: suns thrown off by a whirling nebula, planets drawn from the sun by the tidal pull of a passing dark giant, and Urantia's own growth to its first inland seas. It is not the mainstream Jeans-collapse and protoplanetary-disk model, nor modern geology's account of the early Earth, and it makes no claim about scientific consensus.

Method. Curves are illustrative and keyed to the figures the paper gives: 876,926 sun systems by the close of the tertiary cycle (57:4.3; the same figure as the nebula's own number, 57:1.6), 136,702 more in the terminal eruption for 1,013,628 in all (57:4.8), a 3½-day pulsation (57:5.2), and about 500,000 years of approach (57:5.6). Axes the text does not quantify are schematic and labelled that way. Each spark on Plate I stands for about 675 suns. Dates are rounded to whole numbers, as the archive itself does (57:0.1).
