How does Einstein's Theory of Relativity impact our understanding of immortality?BIB 502-1-7-7

Einstein’s theory of relativity was very revolutionary to a world used to thinking in terms time as an absolute and the existence of three dimensions only. Paul made an allusion to the existence of a fourth dimension in Ephesians 3:18, “May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;”
In the Special Theory of Relativity published in 1905 it is shown that Length, mass, velocity and time are relative to the velocity/velocities of the observers/ those being observed. An often quoted and decades old example would be a person standing at a railroad station and watching a train as it goes by. He would observe the speed of somebody walking in a rail car as the sum of the speed of the train plus the speed at which the observed person is walking, it is all relative. In his Theory of General Relativity Einstein states that there is no distinction between time and space.
Actually we live in a world of four knowable dimensions and an addition six dimensions that are not knowable. From the Scientific American, June 2005, p.57-63, Three-dimensional (is a) “shadows” of a larger reality.” Long before I became interested in Einstein and his Theory of Relativity in high school, I knew I had an immoral soul. Perhaps this was due in part to nearly drowning at a very early age.
It is fascinating to read the comments being made by some of our top scientists. To paraphrase from Dr. Missler’s current Genesis teaching, Frank Tipler is a professor of mathematics at a major university and a professed atheist. He came to two conclusions. He discovered proof of the existence of God. He also now believes that every human being who ever lived will be resurrected from the dead.
However Stephen Hawking states “Our picture of the universe has changed a great deal in the last 40 years and I am happy to have made a small contribution. . . . The fact that we humans who are ourselves mere collections of fundamental particles of nature have been able to come this close to an understanding of the laws governing us and our universe is a great triumph.” No place for a personal God in Dr. hawking’s world. The long time and well known atheist. Richard Dawkins now refers to God as “the embodiment of the laws of physics.” http://www.christianpost.com/news/professor-stephen-hawking-at-70-66692/
I’m reminded of Psalm 2, “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”[KJV]
To quote Dr. Missler directly from his commentary “Beyond Time & Space"
“Your Personal Non-Linearity”
‘The real you (the “soul,” the “heart,” the “spirit”) is software, not hardware. It is without mass: it has no time, it is eternal. That’s the problem. Where will you spend it?’
That is the question!
