So...basically what I conclude from your interpretations of Einsteins theory of general relativity, is that you can throw BOTH Newton's law of Inertia and the 2nd law of thermodynamics out the window....are my assumptions correct?
The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h), which is fast enough to cover the planet's diameter (about 12,600 km) in seven minutes, and the distance to the Moon 384,000 km (238,857 mi), in four hours.

So the religious are happy to look at science when it suits them, yet deride it, when it tries to explain something as obvious as evolution.
Einstein concluded that, when measured in all dimensions, everything is moving at lightspeed. He also concluded that, at a constant velocity of "lightspeed", the dimension of "time" ceased to be a factor because time stops.
If something exists at lightspeed and time has stopped, then the only logical conclusion is that the "something" has and will exist forever (eternity).

Energy has never been created or destroyed so you would be correct. I don't think it cares if you eat shellfish or sleep with someone of the same sex though.

We (you, me, and the rocks) are manifestations of our own collective consciousness and we exist forever
sorry for the quote in quote thing.
We can no be manifestations of our OWN. because WE did not CREATE US
Created > Rules > Observation > Outcome > Creation.
Do not think because you have the gift to think IT is YOURS It was GIVEN to you.
You did not TAKE it.. was GIVEN

So, it is in your assumption that everything is moving at lightspeed and will exist forever, because "time" ceases to be a factor at lightspeed. The problem with that statement lies in the process of entropy. Even if you say that it's all purely energy, the conversion from energy to heat comes in to play. There are no constants....therefore nothing in this phsyical realm can exist "forever". Moving at lightspeed does not negate entropy.
Newton's First Law of Motion: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
A key difference between Galileo's idea and Aristotle's is that Galileo realized that force acting on a body determines acceleration, not velocity. This insight leads to Newton's First Law—no force means no acceleration, and hence the body will maintain its velocity.

I do find it interesting that science can prove that matter can be created from energy. This is just as plausible a theory on the existence of God as the above thread "New study proves someones "god" is nothing more than one's own image" is about proving that god only exist in ones own head, which is exactly how people take that article.
People already say God must be a spirit being or exist in a form outside of a form we understand - Why not energy? That makes tons of since to me. It explains by science how God could have created the universe and everything in it.
