Abstract

According to Palama’s Orthodox Theological claim, God as well as God’s actions/energies are immaterial/unbuilt; on the other hand, their outcomes are material/built, which means that they are subject to direct mathematical measurement. In accordance with this distinction, black energy and black matter are neither directly measurable nor even detectable, yet their existence is necessarily assumed indirectly owing to their outcomes. The Indirect Measurement Model (I.M.M.), already known as an alternative current scientific method of approaching a non-directly measurable entity, is examined in the field of immaterial entities with Divine being apparently an exemplar amongst them.
