Physics is the science concerned with the discovery and understanding of the fundamental laws which govern matter and energy. Kabbalah, on the other hand, a tradition of Torah learning that goes back to Mt.
I've read both your book on the new Kabbalah and I was impressed. I've read over 50 books on kabbalah and I have to rate yours at the top. I do research on my own version of a unified field theory, which is closer to what Einstein envisioned than are the current fads.
While I know that Pauli studied kabbalah, I have found nothing about Einstein's studies. I do know that he endorsed the view of God expressed in "The Soul of the Universe" by Gustaf Stromberg, which is a modern interpretation of the view of Spinoza. I've been a student of mysticism in general since and have studied kabbalah for 10 years. My view is that Ein-Sof is the unified field and in a form of kabbalistic word play. I think that Ein-Sof should be thought of as a code for Einstein-Sofia, meaning a merger of science and ancient wisdom.
Thank you for your kind words about my two books. I am very glad that you found them of interest. I find your ideas of great interest as well, as the connection between Kabbalah and modern science is an area that I am just beginning to explore.
At the YaleUniversity laboratory, we have built a device that contains such components. This may seem like a relatively small. This is such a huge number that we cannot even perceive it. Thus, we are talking about building computers of such fantastic power that could literally work magic.
How did the assumption arise that two different states could exist simultaneously? Here we should mention an experiment conducted by Richard Feynman some fifty years ago.
Assume that there is a full water tank containing a device that moves up and down. This action creates waves from two different sources, causing the waves to cross paths. This pattern is a collection of the path-crossing of the waves.
It is a very well known phenomenon and we can easily calculate where these crossing points will be. Now let us picture a similar experiment, but with particles instead of ripples.
Picture a gun shooting discrete bullet-like particles at a screen. If we put a partition between the particle gun and the screen with a tiny crevice in it, and shoot particles toward the screen, only a thin ray of particles will penetrate the screen through the crevice. Consequently, the particles will always appear at a certain predictable point Figure 9.
If we changed the experiment a little and made two slits in the partition instead of one, we would expect particles to reach two distinct points on the screen, just as we had one distinct point on the screen when there was only one slit. However, if we built the experiment correctly, at a certain ratio between the size of the particles and the size of the slits, the result would be quite different: We would find that the particles appeared all along the screen, not just in the two anticipated points.
As a result, particles would appear in even spaces along the whole screen and in both directions, indefinitely. The quantity of particles at each point would differ, being more profuse at the center and gradually decreasing as we move away from the center. The proportion between the number of particles appearing at each point would create a wave pattern Figure As a result, one could say that quantum particles are both waves and particles simultaneously.
A wave is a division of probabilities to find a particle at a certain point along the screen. Now let me correct myself: When we measure the numbers that describe the amount of particles that appeared at each point on the screen, we get a mathematical result that does not perfectly match a moving wave of probabilities.
Instead, it is the square root of the probability. In fact, some of the square roots are negative.
The probability that something will happen in the real world can be anywhere between 0 and 1, but it cannot be negative. Even if we were to fire one particle per week, the probability distribution would remain identical to the interference pattern of the two waves we mentioned above. Actually, even if we fired a single particle, dismantled the equipment, put it back together a year later, and fired another single particle, we would still receive exactly the same result Figure This probability pattern is built with absolute mechanical precision.
It is so astounding that it seems to reach beyond time and space. The structure of this phenomenon is prearranged in perfect mechanism, its mathematics are known with utter precision, and today this phenomenon assists us in building amazingly accurate computation devices.
In fact, however, this is nothing but a line of utterly senseless symbols. Any perception that we think is our own, the very perception of ourselves as conscious, feeling human beings, with our own intentions, everything we do here and the rest of our human life is only an illusion. Both sat in the presence of God. He spends a long time studying it and for many years assumes that it is a completely lifeless object. All our knowledge, coupled with the immense power of quantum theory and its inferences about the physical world, lead us to deduce two things: Many of us owe our lives to it.
