Eternal Slowdown:
"The physical expands and increases its velocities to cope with the greater and greater distances. There seems to be a constancy of top velocity, however, and it was this that so impressed Einstein. All the various types of radiation, the ultraviolet, the radio waves, and the x-ray reach about 186,000 miles per second. This is very extraordinary. The metaphysical in contrast tries to define the principles that are discovered; as the definitions can never be perfect, the metaphysical must also modify the definitions from time to time as we learn a little more. But that doesn’t change the principle. As observation becomes better, there is less alteration.
"Thus we find the metaphysical tending to become steadier and to work toward the eternal.
“As a result words accumulate to form the dictionary as men discover shared aspects of their total experience that are unique and require identification. They agree; even though we know how mankind battles not to agree. But this is also part of the metaphysical drive to be sure. It will not be”
