Shalom and Thank you Rabbi Asher,
As you were explaining the unifying of the 4 forces, I could not help but think of the 4-pronged Shin on the Rosh Tefillin. Is this related?
I just noticed above that "rick" in sacramento asked a similar question. Can't wait to hear your answer.
Blessings for many long years of study, teaching, Torah and mitzvot.
Shalom

1) Unification did not begin with Einstein. Maxwell in 1820 unified electriciy and magnetism, Newton, Kepler, and Galileo in the 1500's and 1600's unified planetary and terrestrial motion and gravity. And so on, going all the way back to the greeks and egyptians.
2) Quantum mechanics is not limited to "small", and general relativity is not limited to "large". You have quantum mechanical phenomemon in astronomical sized objects, and general relativity at the scale of the planck length.
3) The rest is just ridiculous, he takes a body of physical theory, that he clearly does not understand, juxtaposes it with some bunch of "spirituality" that ln no small part comes form his own head, and pretends to see connections.

Horray Rabbi--You rock! I love both science and religious Truth, and there is room for both in my life. At this moment, my world--my life is richer for you and this lecture.
Please, more--when ever you can.
Many Blessings.

WHO is pulling the strings here? I think on Chabad there are many people in the "know". I have recently been reading Physics books and have a book beside me as I open this particular blog: For the Love of Physics, Walter Lewin. This beloved physics teacher begins his book discussing the Holocaust and the deep ramifications for his family as he was in the Netherlands as a child.
I do believe this symphony has a conductor, and this poses deep problems for us all in the analysis of free will and determinism. And so again strings, and a story about instruments of, the Divine.
I think the answer we will all get will propel us into another state of consciousness and I feel it's coming.
Note that the Neolithic people, developed a truly Master Computer at Stonehenge. This too I have been reading about, and physics has confirmed the astonishment of this, their ability to totally predict eclipses around the world.
Yes, a theory of ONE. Why not, it's in the Shema itself.

any connection to the fact that e8 theory posits that there are 248 strings. Nefesh HaChayim says that we affect the higher worlds by our mitzvas - obvious correlation to the 248 positive commandments. Also, e8 uses fractal geometry and is easier and more symetric than superstring. You thoughts on this are appreciated. Thx

I knew at once that string theory was on to something profound after my first exposure. The Universe is made of Music. A truth known to every musician.

Rabbi,
You are my new hero. Your lecture really inspires me.

With all due respect I think youre missing the Torahs approach.
The true nature of existence is beyond understanding being that the whole idea of understanding itself is only a mere creation. (This concept that logic is inherently limited has been corroborated by the secular world also, for example Kurt Gdel and many others).
Rather, the Torahs approach is as follows; the inner core of a person is actually beyond understanding/logic and hence it relates directly to this truth and not through the concealment of understanding/logic. The lower understanding/logic level within us is meant to be used as tool to utilize reality, i.e. make better technologies, medicine etc.
Understanding/logic is meant for utilizing G-Ds world not perceiving the truth of its existence.
Note of course that by Torah its different being that its truly beyond understanding/logic and yet at the same time within understanding/logic. Grasping this difference between Torah and secular knowledge is crucial.

May we say rhat Mashiach will not come untill the UFT (along with the One Name) has been fully revealed to us by physicists, with the help of G-d? And if so, who will these physicists be? Children of Israel, I guess. So, all of us should encourage (and bless) theese people to do their best in the field of research as much as in Torah studiies.

There is nothing at all that records Einstein's using the alphabet to work out his formulas or a particular interest in the Hebrew alphabet.
I think it's fascinating, however, to look at DNA, which is the "language of life" and truly a language that can be understood in the same ways as language we speak is deconstructed and is understood.
The one ness that exists is everywhere. There are many ways, or many roads to the same place as we all know, in our experiential lives as in scientific and mathematical endeavors.
