Lectures on Torah and Modern Physics (the Lectures in Kabbalah Series)

Lectures on Torah and Modern Physics (the Lectures in Kabbalah Series) is from the author Harav Yitzchak Ginsburgh and try

Modern physics has forever changed the way we view and understand physical reality. With a wide spectrum of theories, from general relativity to quantum mechanics, our conceptions of the very big and the very small are no longer intuitively obvious. Many philosophers, even scientists have expressed the opinion that the counterintuitive conclusions posited in modern physics are best understood using spiritual terminology.In the 11 lectures in this volume, Harav Ginsburgh, one of our generation?s foremost scholars, innovators, and teachers of Kabbalah, reveals how modern physics reflects foundational  concepts in the Torah?s inner dimension. A wide range of topics from relativity (special and general), quantum mechanics, and string theory  are addressed. Elegantly and gracefully, Harav Ginsburgh?s exposition  of the topics switches back and forth between the scientific and Torah perspectives. With his deep insight, Harav Ginsburgh gives even well-known physical concepts a refreshing and new treatment.Apart from  carefully drawing parallels and correspondences between the Torah?s inner dimension and modern physics, in these lectures, Harav Ginsburgh  proposes new directions for scientific research into important areas such as a unified field theory, CPT symmetry, the relationship between  acceleration and gravitation, and the possibility of uncovering additional dimensions in physical reality, demonstrating how the Torah?s depth can be used to fertilize science and further our understanding of nature.Harav Yitzchak Ginsburgh is one of our generation?s foremost expositors of Kabbalah and Chassidut and is the author of over 100 books in Hebrew,English, French, Russian, and Spanish. The interface between Torah and science is one of the areas in which he is known for his breakthrough work, forging a path in revolutionizing the way we think about the relationship between Judaism and modern science. He is also the founder and dean of the Ba?al Shem Tov School of Jewish Psychology, and his unique approach to  mathematics in Torah is now the basis of a new math curriculum for Jewish schools.
