Speed
of LightMoslems (Muslims) believe that angels are low density creatures, and that God created them originally from light. They move at any speed from zero up to the speed of light. It is the angels who carry out God's orders. Those angels take their orders from a Preserved Tablet somewhere in outer space and not from God's Throne. They commute to and from this Preserved Tablet to get their orders from God. In the following verse, the Quran describes how angels travel when they commute to and from this Tablet. And the speed at which they commute to and from this Tablet turned out to be the known speed of light:
[Quran 32.5] (Allah) Rules the cosmic affair from the heavens to the Earth. Then this affair travels to Him a distance in one day, at a measure of one thousand years of what you count.
It is the angels who carryout these orders (see Arabic wording at footnote [1]). Those people back then measured the distances neither in kilometers nor in miles but rather by how much time they needed to walk. For example, a village two days away meant a distance equivalent to walking for two days; ten days away meant a distance equivalent to walking for ten days... However in this verse the Quran specifies 1000 years of what they counted (not what they walked). Those people back then followed the lunar calendar and counted 12 lunar months each year. These months are related to the moon and not related to the sun. Hence in 1 day the angels will travel a distance of 1000 years of what they counted (the moon). Since this verse is referring to distance, then God is saying that angels travel in one day the same distance that the moon travels in 12000 lunar orbits. Outside gravitational fields this speed turned out to be the known speed of light (the Preserved Tablet is itself outside gravitational fields).
When we compare the speed of light in vacuum with 12000 Lunar Orbits / Earth Day inside the gravitational field of the sun we get 11% difference. When we compare them outside the gravitational field of the sun we get zero% difference:
The distance to the sun is not a constant; so as the distance to the sun increases the difference in energy causes the length of the lunar orbit to change. When the Earth-moon system exits the solar system 12000 Lunar Orbits / Earth Day becomes equal to the speed of light. Hence, if it is defined inside the gravitational field of the sun then this definition will be wrong with time; however since it is defined in free space (outside the gravitational field of the sun) then this definition will be true for ever!
Do you know why the same half of the moon always faces Earth? The moon has been facing Earth like this for more than 4 billion years. Just like Earth rotates on its axis once every day with respect to stars, the moon also rotates on its axis with respect to stars. Since the moon keeps facing Earth this means that the moon needs to travel 360 degrees around Earth with respect to stars in order to rotate 360 degrees on its axis with respect to stars. When the moon first formed it was very close to Earth and it orbited Earth once every few hours, today this period is 27 days, and as the moon continues to recede this period will continue to increase; the greater the distance from Earth the greater this period becomes. When this period becomes 50 days, for example, this also means that it will take the moon 50 days to rotate 360 degrees on its axis with respect to stars. So as the moon recedes from Earth its spin with respect to stars slows down, that is, it loses rotational kinetic energy (this is different from moon's kinetic energy due to moon's motion around Earth). If the distance to the Earth increases to infinity, the moon would stop spinning with respect to stars and hence its rotational kinetic energy decreases to zero. This proves that the moon's rotational kinetic energy is a function of the distance from Earth. Similarly, the total energy of the Earth-moon system is a function of the distance from the sun.
But as the Earth goes around the sun, the position of the sun relative to Earth with respect to stars is changing. This makes the sector where the moon is speeding up move forward inside the orbit such that it points to the sun again; similarly the sector where the moon is slowing down moves forward inside the orbit such that it points away from the sun again. Hence the entire orbit changes direction with respect to stars by the same angle it orbits the sun (twist). This means that the orbit is influenced by a net rotational force (like torque around Earth). As the distance to the sun increases to infinity, ø decreases to zero and the lunar orbit loses this twist. When we vectorially remove the energy gained from this twist we can calculate the total energy and hence the length of the lunar orbit outside gravitational fields.
Distance traveled by angels in one day = 12000 x Distance traveled by moon during one orbit
Where:
|
C |
Is the speed of angels, which we intend to calculate and then compare to the known speed of light (no external forces, no acceleration, no deceleration). |
|
t' |
Is the Earth Day outside gravitational fields i.e. time for one rotation of the Earth about its axis with respect to stars. |
|
L' |
Is the length of the lunar orbit outside gravitational fields (no external forces, no acceleration, no deceleration). |
This table below shows the lunar month and the Earth day in both sidereal system (with respect to stars) and synodic (with respect to sun):
|
Period |
Synodic (sun) |
Sidereal (stars) |
|
Earth day t |
24 hours = 86400 sec |
23 h 56 min 4.0906 sec = 86164.0906 sec |
|
Lunar Month T |
29.53059 synodic days |
27.321661 synodic days = 655.71986 hours |
Every new moon (29.5 days) the moon will not return to the same point in the
orbit (it will be at a different point). The moon returns to the same point in the orbit after only 27.3 days. When astronomers study the
energy of orbits they use the sidereal system,
that is, the moon has to return to the same position with respect to stars
and not return to the same position with respect to the sun. When the moon returns to the same point
with respect to stars the Earth-moon system would have moved 26.9 degrees around the sun (not 29.1 degrees).
When the Earth-moon system is still
inside the solar system the position of the sun relative to Earth with respect
to stars changes; this means that the moon has to make more than 360 degrees
with respect to stars in order to point to the sun again. However when the Earth-moon system exits the solar system the
position of the sun relative to Earth with respect to stars remains the same,
that is, the moon now only has to make 360 degrees with respect to stars in
order to point to the sun again (the synodic periods become equal to
the sidereal periods). This means that the lunar month with respect to the sun becomes equal
to lunar month with respect to stars and Earth day with respect to the sun
becomes equal to Earth day with respect to stars. So the 1000 lunar years with
respect to sun become equal to 12000 lunar months with respect to stars.
Length of lunar orbit = Velocity x Time (L = V T)
The velocity of the moon is not a constant. NASA measured the instantaneous velocity of the moon at various points throughout its orbit. These measurements show that the velocity of the moon varies considerably (from 3470 km/hr up to 3873 km/hr); which means that the moon accelerates and then decelerates continuously. The average lunar velocity is Vavg = 3682.8 km/hr (1.023 km/s).
The lunar orbit relative to Earth is a low eccentricity ellipse. Most astronomers calculate the length of the lunar orbit manually by the following equivalent circle method:
L = V T = 2 π R
Þ V = 2 π R / T
However this velocity is under the influence of the gravitational pull of the sun. We can vectorially calculate the velocity of the moon relative to Earth without the gravitational pull of the sun and hence the new length of the lunar orbit.
The lunar orbital radius (R) is a function of total energy, however the total orbital energy comes form two sources: ocean friction and gravitational twist (two sources, not one). The work done by the gravitational field of the sun by creating a net rotational force on the lunar orbit (twist) is:
Without the sun (isolated Earth-moon system) the moon's isolated vector remains in the original direction with respect to stars (no twist); but with the sun (compounded system), the moon's compounded vector changes direction by angle ø with respect to stars each cycle around Earth (twist). This means that the moon's orbital energy is the vectorial sum of the energy acquired from this twist plus the intrinsic energy of Earth-moon system (kinetic energy of Earth's spin transferred to lunar orbit by ocean friction; see how below).
Since the distance to the sun is not a constant then as the distance to the sun increases to infinity the lunar orbit loses this twist; but without the energy gained from this twist the orbital radius decreases to R' = Rcosø (see proof at footnote [2]). Hence the moon's isolated orbital length becomes L' = 2πR' = 2πRcosø = Lcosø (i.e. 12000 L' / t' = 12000 Lcosø / t').
Today when the moon makes 360 degrees around Earth with respect to stars the Earth-moon system moves 26.92952225 degrees around the sun. Hence the lunar orbit's twist angle ø = 26.92952225 degrees. We can calculate ø from the period of one heliocentric revolution of the Earth-moon system (365.2421987 days):
ø = 360 degrees / 365.2421987 synodic days x 27.32166088 synodic days = 26.92952225 degrees
Similarly, Earth's spin slows down by 6 seconds i.e. the isolated Earth day t' becomes 86170.43114 seconds (see proof at footnote [3]).
So finally we can check the accuracy of this equation in the Quran:
C t'
12000 L'
The distance traveled by light in one Earth Day = C t' = 299792.458 km/sec x 86170.4311447 sec = 25833245358 km
The distance traveled by angels = 12000 L' = 12000 x 3682.8 km/hr x 655.71986 hr x cos(26.92952225) = 25836303825 km
By dividing the two distances we get the ratio of 1.00011839267.

Difference = 0.01% |
Outside gravitational fields:
12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day = SPEED OF LIGHT
Moslems ask how could an illiterate
man who lived 1400 years ago have defined the speed of light?
Ocean friction is causing the rotation of Earth to slow down, that is, for the days to get longer (t' increases). And as Earth's rotation slows down the moon recedes (R' increases). For the moon to orbit Earth with the same velocity and altitude but without any assistance from the sun, it needs to acquire even more energy from Earth's spin; that is t' has to increase until R' = R.
c = 12000 L' / t' = 12000 2 π R' / t'
Both R' and t' are increasing but due to a fundamental law in astrophysics the ratio R' / t' remains the same: The tidal force decelerating Earth is the same force pushing the moon. Since the force pushing the moon is gravitational, then it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the moon. Similarly, this same force decelerating Earth is proportional to the change in kinetic energy in Earth's spin, that is, it is inversely proportional to the square of Earth day. This makes the square of the distance to the moon to be directly proportional to the square of Earth day. This implies that the distance to the moon remains proportional to Earth day. Hence R' / t' is a constant equal to 3.976120966 (R' / t' = Rcosø / t'). This makes the equation in the Quran c = 12000 L' / t' to be composed only of constants, with no variables. Hence outside the gravitational field of the sun, 12000 Lunar Orbits/ Earth Day is a constant forever.
As the moon acquires more energy from Earth's spin it does not actually speed up, instead it slows down because it orbits at a higher altitude (R' increases). If Earth were spinning in the opposite direction the reverse process would have happened; the moon would have lost altitude and eventually crashed into Earth.
4.52 billion years ago the moon formed when a planet collided with Earth. On impact, Earth gained angular momentum (rotational speed). This angular momentum has been slowly transferring to the lunar orbit. On impact of that planet with Earth, the molten debris flung with a certain escape velocity and sucked vaporized water and some gases from Earth's atmosphere. This debris clustered to form the moon. But the moon couldn't maintain those gases because its gravity was extremely weak and it didn't have a magnetic shield; so it lost those gases and settled in orbit without this mass. The equation in the Quran c = 12000 Lunar Orbits/ Earth Day has been true in the isolated system ever since the moon first lost this mass, that is, since the early creation of the Earth-moon; is true today and as the moon continues to recede this equation in the Quran will always be true.
To learn why there are two tidal bulges, one facing the moon and another one opposite to it, see footnote [4].
Variable Speed of Light:
12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day = 299,792.458 km/s is the speed of light for observers standing outside gravitational fields and looking at light also traveling outside gravitational fields. But an observer near a black hole for example sees the speed of light outside gravitational fields a zillion km/s. This is because the velocity of light appears to vary with the intensity of the gravitational field (See proof at footnote [5]).
From General Relativity we know that an observer standing outside gravitational fields looks at events inside gravitational fields and sees them in slow motion. When he steps inside those gravitational fields he sees them in normal speeds. But now he looks back at where he was outside gravitational fields and sees the events there in fast motion. In our case the event is the moon orbiting Earth. When an observer in stronger gravitational fields, near a black hole for example, looks at the Earth-moon system he does not see the moon orbiting Earth once every month; instead he sees the moon orbiting Earth once every few seconds; he also sees the length of the lunar orbit to be much longer than we see it. This is because the gravitational field that he is in causes his clock to run slower and his ruler to shrink.Not only observers in different gravitational fields will not agree on the time period for the lunar orbit but also they will not agree on the length of the lunar orbit either. By using classical orbital mechanics we discovered that all observers will see the speed of light outside gravitational fields equal to 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day; but from General Relativity we know that they will never agree on a value in km/sec. An observer near a black hole for example sees the speed of light outside gravitational fields a zillion km/s, but still equal to 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day! This means that if the speed of angels outside gravitational fields were defined in km/sec then it would have appeared to vary for observers in different gravitational fields; however since this speed was defined in Lunar Orbits/Earth Day then it will never appear to vary to anyone because 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day is common to all observers. Hence the Quran gave us a better definition for time and distance: A definition common to all observers, forever!!!
[Quran 10.5] It is He (Allah) who made the sun to shine and the moon to light, and destined it in stages; that you may learn to count the years and the mathematics. Allah only created this in truth. He details His Signs for those who are knowledgeable (scientists).
See how angels can reach anywhere in the universe before you finish reading this sentence: Wormholes (Below)
(see the problem of Christians with the speed of light at footnote [7])
Relativistic
Time Dilation For an object to move it needs to accelerate; but acceleration causes clocks to run slower, the stronger the acceleration the slower the clock.
The Quran states another verse in
which angels traveling at a certain velocity, appear to experience slower
time than humans. But this agrees with Einstein’s theory of special
relativity, which says that a
faster moving object appears to experience slower time. Moslems use Einstein’s theory of
special relativity with
the following verse in the Quran to assert that angels indeed accelerate up to the speed of light:
[Quran 70.4] The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years.
Here angels will experience 1 day while humans will measure it as 50,000 years (time vs. time and not time vs. distance as the previous lunar verse). However, according to the theory of special relativity, given this time difference (time dilation), we can calculate the speed at which that object traveled. We can verify if those angels really accelerate up to the speed of light, as claimed by Moslems, or not. Outside gravitational fields it is:
(Where ∆to is the time measured for a mover by a mover; ∆t is the time measured for a mover by a stationary frame; v is the velocity of the mover relative to the stationary observer):
∆to is the time experienced by angels (1 day).
∆t is the time as measured by humans (50,000 lunar years x12 lunar months/lunar year x 27.321661 days/lunar month).
v is the velocity of angels in this case (which we intend to calculate and then compare to the known speed of light).
c is the known speed of light 299792.458 km/s, the speed of light in vacuum.
From the above equation we can solve for the unknown velocity:
So let’s insert the Moslem claims and see if their angels really accelerate up to the speed of light or not. Insert dates from this verse ‘The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years’ into the formula:
|
v = 299792.4579999994 km / s |
This time dilation (time difference) shows that angels indeed accelerate to relativistic speeds; outside gravitational fields this is the same speed calculated from the previous lunar verse also outside gravitational fields.
Moslems ask how could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have figured out Time Dilation and the core of Relativity?
We cannot calculate our local speed of light from this
time dilation however we can calculate at what percentage
of the speed of light those angels are traveling relative to an observer on Earth. By this we can compare a time dilation (50,000 years
vs. one day)
with a speed (12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day). We can do this by translating both of them to a common speed in km/sec. Outside gravitational fields
50,000 years vs. one day shows angels traveling at 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day.
It is the same speed in km/sec. However inside gravitational fields 50,000 years
vs. one day shows angels crossing a wormhole at a
few meters/sec.
This is a picture of a wormhole. The Quran says that angels use these wormholes to reach any place in the universe.
An observer outside gravitational fields sees those angels passing by him at 99.99999...% of the speed of light
(relativistic speeds, very close to the local speed of light), that is at 299792.457999...km/s. But when those angels enter
the gravitational field of a wormhole this observer still sees those angels entering the wormhole at 99.99999...% of the
speed of light
however that would no longer be at 299792.457999...km/s. This is because the speed of light is a variable depending
upon the reference frame of the observer. If he sees the speed of light in a wormhole at 10 meters/sec, for example,
then he would see those angels traveling at only 9.999999...meters/sec,
flapping their wings in slow motion, reddish in color and very dim (and in turn
they would see him in fast motion, bluish in color and
very bright).
A smaller time dilation (say 100 or 1000 years vs. one day) can
also occur if we stand on Earth and angels stand on a pulsar or a neutron star (or resist their
fall into a pulsar, see: Gravitational
Time Dilation). This makes their velocity relative to us to be zero (and not 299792.457999... km/s). Naturally occurring wormholes connect distant black holes; however at a lower time dilation (100 or 1000 years
vs. one day) the two entrances of the wormhole cannot connect; hence a wormhole cannot form. So with the time dilation stated in the Quran
(50,000 years vs. 1 day) and the fact that angels are moving then those angels have to be crossing a wormhole. The pulsar scenario or any other combination cannot do. Learn more: Wormholes
Gravitational Time DilationClocks run slower in stronger gravitational fields (near bigger mass).
Moslems
believe that Paradise and Hell are both much bigger and much more massive than
Earth (but still much smaller than God's Throne). The theory
of general relativity says that time should pass slower near an object more
massive than Earth (clocks run slower in stronger gravitational fields). So according to general relativity,
time should pass in Paradise/Hell much slower than on Earth. Moslems say that this is what Allah
says. It is stated in the Quran that 1 day in Paradise/Hell measures a 1000
years on Earth:
[Quran 22.47] They challenge you to bring forth that torture [in Hell] and Allah will not break His promise; a day of your Lord [Paradise/Hell promise] is like a thousand years of what you count.
Here God promises those who do not believe in Hell and punishment that each day of their torture in Hell will measure a thousand years on Earth. So according to the Quran, time passes faster on Earth than in Paradise/Hell. But this agrees with the theory of general relativity which says that time passes slower near bigger mass. Paradise and Hell are much more massive than Earth and time should pass there much slower than on Earth.
Christians believe that God created the universe in 6 earthly days and rested on the 7th. Moslems believe that 6 days passed at God's Throne but we experienced 13.7 billion years on Earth:
Moslems believe that God is not bound to His Throne; rather He created it and set it as a reference. The Quran says that God's Throne is even wider than the whole universe; so how about the mass of God's Throne? God's Throne is much more massive than Earth. Time should pass there much slower than on Earth:
Our solar system is 4.57
0.07 billion years old. Earth started accreting concurrently with the sun and our neighbouring planets 4.57 bln
years ago. However the universe is 13.70.2 billion years old. This places the age of Earth at one third the age of the universe
(4.57 bln/13.7 bln 
1/3). Moslems say that this is what Allah says. The Quran says that in God's Throne time Earth is 2 days old while
the Heavens and Earth and everything in between are 6 days old (2/6 = 1/3):
[Quran 50.38] We [Allah] created the heavens and the Earth and all what's between them in six days, and We were not touched by fatigue.
[Quran 41.9] Say: "Is it that you deny Him [Allah] who created the Earth in two days? And you claim others to be equal to Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds."
When God says that He created the Heavens, the Earth and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN in six days this means that He is
referring to the period of existence. Earth has been in existence for 2 days (out of 6).
In
God's Throne time, Earth is 2 days old while the Heavens and Earth and
everything in between are 6 days old. This makes the age of Earth to be one
third the age of the universe (2/6 = 1/3). Similarly in Earth time, the age of
Earth is 4.57 billion years while the age of the universe is 13.7 billion years;
this is also one third (4.57 bln/13.7 bln 1/3). So it is the same ratio in
Earth time or in God's Throne time
[6]. The theory
of general relativity explains why time at God's Throne passes slower than on
Earth. General relativity explains why 6 days passed at God's Throne but we
measured it as 13.7 billion years (that is each day at God's Throne measures
around 2.28 billion years on Earth).
So according to the Quran:
God's Throne > Paradise/Hell > Earth
The smaller the mass, the faster the time
Moslems ask how could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have figured out that time passes slower near bigger mass?
(The Christian Bible puts the creation of Earth on day one; making the age of Earth equal to the age of the universe)
General relativity predicted the formation of black holes from neutron stars. (Neutron stars are remnants of exploded stars, see Iron below). As more matter falls into a neutron star its mass increases; and as its mass increases its gravity increases. A point will be reached where gravity would have grown so much that not even light could escape, thus a black hole forms.
Most neutron stars discovered today are in the form of radio pulsars. They are called radio pulsars because they emit radio waves; we can simply connect a radio telescope to a loud speaker and hear a pulsar. Pulsars sound like someone persistently knocking. Click here and listen to a slow knocking pulsar. Click here and listen to a fast knocking pulsar.
So in short, we can hear a pulsar knock; and if matter continues to fall into this pulsar a black hole will eventually form. Moslems say that this is what Allah says. The Quran describes a star by "The one who knocks" and says that it is "The one who makes a hole".
[Quran 86.1-3] And the heaven and the "Knocker" (Tarek in Arabic) 2 How could you know about the "Knocker"? 3 The piercing star (Thakeb in Arabic).
The Arabic word "Thukb" means hole; "Thakeb" means the one who makes the hole. The Quran is describing a knocking star that makes a hole.
At the center of black holes (collapsed stars) lies a location called the Singularity. An observer far away from a black hole sees the events near a back hole in slow motion. If he shines a beam of light into this black hole he will have to wait forever but still this beam of light will never reach the singularity. The singularity is a location where gravity has gone so mad that space and time become indistinguishable. From general relativity we know that this is a location where the structure of spacetime becomes singular (hence the name singularity). However singular (Ahad in Arabic) is one of God's 99 names. In the Quran God swears by the locations of stars which turned out to carry His own name:
[Quran 56.75-77] I swear by the locations of stars, 76 it is a great swear if you knew, 77 it is a noble Quran...
Here God swears not by the stars but rather by their locations (mawakeh in Arabic). Today we know that these locations are singular, that is they carry God's own name: "Ahad".
[Quran 26.2-6] These are the verses of a clarifying Book. 3 You might be frustrated that they don't believe; 4 If We wish, We hand down from the heaven a sign (proof); their necks to it remain subdued. 5 And every new revelation they were given from The Most Gracious [Allah] they dismissed. 6 They disbelieved (the Quran), so they will receive the news of what they have been mocking.
Naturally occurring wormholes connect distant black holes.
Look up to the night sky and
select a star as a destination. Can any human reach this star by just walking few
steps?
General relativity explained a
mechanism to contract this huge distance into few meters. Albert Einstein called
this mechanism ‘bridges’ in space-time. Today scientists call them
wormholes. A wormhole would act as a shortcut connecting two distant regions in
the universe.
A wormhole contracts the distance between two doorways placed separately anywhere in the universe. Example, consider a galaxy 100 million light years away. When you look today from Earth to that galaxy, you will not see it as it is today, but rather as it was 100 million years ago. This is because light took 100 million years to travel all that distance. But if you take a journey inside a wormhole from Earth to that galaxy, you would reach that galaxy today. So when you reach it today, you will see it as it is today, not as it was 100 million years ago. So if you use a wormhole, events at that galaxy (your destination) would appear as if in fast forward (from 100 million years ago till today).
When you reach that galaxy today and look back at Earth, you would not see Earth as it is today; instead you would see Earth as it was 100 million years ago (you would see the dinosaurs). This is because light took 100 million years to reach there. So as you use a wormhole, events at Earth (your departure) would appear as if in fast rewind (from today till 100 million years ago).
On the return journey, events on Earth (destination) would appear as if in fast forward (from 100 million years ago till today); while the events at that galaxy (departure) would appear as if in fast rewind (from today till 100 million years ago). This is not time travel; this is just a consequence of the length contraction inside a wormhole.
Physicists
know how a wormhole works but have never actually used one. Do you remember
how a frictionless roller coaster works? That is, you start high and slow then
you go down and fast but when you come back up again to the previous height you
return to your previous slow speed? Well, the wormhole is the most efficient
roller coaster you can imagine. Energy is not required to move through the
wormhole, that is, you can simply switch off your rockets. Gravity
accelerates you and pulls you through and then expels you the other side. You
will feel like being swept by waves at the beach; nothing more.
On your way through, gravity causes your clock to run slower and your ruler to shrink. Distant observers see you accelerating to relativistic speeds; as a result, your energy (and mass) increase dramatically in their view; but when you get out the other side everything returns back to normal (your clock, ruler...).
Allah gave this method of transportation to his angels throughout the universe. The Quran calls them ‘Maarej’ and describes how angels use them for long distance travel. Today Moslems know that these ‘Maarej’ is what scientists call wormholes:
[Quran 70.1-4] Someone asked about the penalty that will befall 2 the unbelievers; (A penalty) that has none to ward off; 3 (a penalty) from Allah (who owns) wormholes [Maarej in Arabic] 4 The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years.
Any object passing through this wormhole will also experience this same time dilation (one day inside wormhole vs. 50,000 years on Earth) and not just those angels. This time dilation does not say how long it takes you to cross the wormhole, it just says that when you pass through the wormhole you age by this ratio. This space is called hyperspace (Barzakh in Arabic).
God says that those wormholes are doors in the heaven that contract interstellar distances into walking distances; the resulting scenery is bizarre: God says that those who do not believe in the message will not believe it even if He showed them a bigger sign. He created beautiful towering structures in the heavens. If He opens for those nonbelievers a door in heaven and lets them continue passing through it to those distant structures, they would not believe that they really got there by simply walking few steps. Instead they would think that they are just optical illusions:
