It was scarcely a million years subsequent to this epoch that Michael of Nebadon, a Creator Son of Paradise, selected this disintegrating nebula as the site of his adventure in universe building. Almost immediately the architectural worlds of Salvington and the one hundred constellation headquarters groups of planets were begun. It required almost one million years to complete these clusters of specially created worlds. The local system headquarters planets were constructed over a period extending from that time to about five billion years ago.
300,000,000,000 years ago the Andronover solar circuits were well
established, and the nebular system was passing through a transient period of
relative physical stability. About this time the staff of Michael arrived on
Salvington, and the Uversa government of Orvonton extended physical recognition
to the local universe of Nebadon.
200,000,000,000 years ago witnessed the progression of contraction and
condensation with enormous heat generation in the Andronover central cluster,
or nuclear mass. Relative space appeared even in the regions near the central
mother-sun wheel. The outer regions were becoming more stabilized and better
organized; some planets revolving around the newborn suns had cooled
sufficiently to be suitable for life implantation. The oldest inhabited planets of
Nebadon date from these times.
Now the completed universe mechanism of Nebadon first begins to function, and Michael's creation is registered on Uversa as a universe of inhabitation and progressive mortal ascension.
100,000,000,000 years ago the nebular apex of condensation tension was
reached; the point of maximum heat tension was attained. This critical stage
of gravity-heat contention sometimes lasts for ages, but sooner or later, heat
wins the struggle with gravity, and the spectacular period of sun dispersion
begins. And this marks the end of the secondary career of a space nebula.
The primary stage of a nebula is circular; the secondary, spiral; the tertiary stage is that of the first sun dispersion, while the quartan embraces the second and last cycle of sun dispersion, with the mother nucleus ending either as a globular cluster or as a solitary sun functioning as the center of a terminal solar system.
75,000,000,000 years ago this nebula had attained the height of its sun-family
stage. This was the apex of the first period of sun losses. The majority
of these suns have since possessed themselves of extensive systems of planets,
satellites, dark islands, comets, meteors, and cosmic dust clouds.
50,000,000,000 years ago this first period of sun dispersion was completed;
the nebula was fast finishing its tertiary cycle of existence, during which it gave
origin to 876,926 sun systems.
25,000,000,000 years ago witnessed the completion of the tertiary cycle of
nebular life and brought about the organization and relative stabilization of the
far-flung starry systems derived from this parent nebula. But the process of
physical contraction and increased heat production continued in the central
mass of the nebular remnant.
