In this chapter, we learn that the world is referred to as the "Adolla Burst" because it is the source of the "Flame of Perdition" . In other words, it's the place where the "explosion" of the human body is taking place. This is the place that the "angels" have called "hell" in the past. The narrator explains that this is because the "Explosion of the Universe" is the "key" to the "Commander's Mysteries" , because it allows the universe to expand when heated, and to shrink when cooled. This means that the universe can move faster than the outside world, and that the inside world can move slower. This leads to the next question: "Expansion when heated . . and to contraction when cooled ." The narrator answers this question by saying that if the universe is expanding, then the time it takes for things to move is also expanding. If the universe moves faster, then it will take longer to move the same amount of time as if it were on the outside. If it is on the inside, then its time is also faster. So, the narrator says, it doesn't matter if the outside is moving faster or the inside is moving slower. It's up to the commander to use his powers to expand the universe.
