This Theory of Relativity states that at the velocity of light, an object loses all its length, gravitation loses its power and time stands still.

Distance, Gravitation and Time on the Astral Plane

Thus, on the astral (inner) plane where velocities exceed the speed of light, distance, gravitation and time become a different order than on the familiar physical (outer) plane.

C.C.Zain "When astral-world velocities are attained, existence acquires properties that are contradictory to physical experience, but which are none the less consistent with what the Special Theory of Relativity demands when such velocities are present.

Under these velocities time as we know it, no longer exists. Distance as we know it, disappears and is supplanted by difference in vibratory frequency. Gravitation gives way and its place is taken by the principle of resonance. And instead of mechanical power, thought-energy performs many similar functions."

The properties of astral existence contradict the properties of physical existence.

"These properties of astral existences, displacing those with which are are so familiar on the physical plane, permit of various conditions that contradict material experience."
