In a previous paper, I have gone into
considerable detail on the profound connections between the Kabbalah and
physics (Modern Physics & the Kabbalah, 04/10/2010). In this paper, I would like to show how adopting
the model of the universe as promulgated in the Kabbalah shines a light on many
of the current mysteries and paradoxes in physics. Please note that nothing in
the conclusions of physics, the Kabbalah, or this paper should be considered
factual, but only a model. In the scientific method, one tentatively adopts a
model, and uses that model to explain phenomena. The efficacy of any model is
determined by how well it matches experience and predicts future behavior. It
is unscientific to claim that any finding is "true".
These mysteries & paradoxes will be addressed in this paper:
Is the
universe infinite or finite? Is
there a center of the universe? Is the
universe eternal, or temporary? Why is
the speed of light a constant? Why
can't the speed of light be exceeded? What
is the mystery of quantum entanglement? What
is quark confinement? Is
there a scientific basis of telepathy? What
are coincidences? Why is
"life" not addressed by physics? Are
all properties emergent from fundamental particles?
