I'm as big a fan of science as I am of Torah, and I'm particularly fascinated with the science of space and quantum physics even though it is way, way, WAY over my head. Much like Torah and much like YHWH Themselves. We are only granted a minute window of time and understanding in this physical body with which to ponder The Vast. And theories abound! Two recent articles caught my attention this month; the first one was written by Avi Loeb, Baird Professor of Science, and Institute director at Harvard University, who says that Dark Matter, which no one understands, is why we and this universe exist, and quite possibly no where else: "Let me be clear: if dark matter did not exist, the Milky Way — with stars like the Sun and planets like the Earth, would never form. Terrestrial life blossomed because dark-matter maintained memory of the primordial perturbations on the scale of the Milky-Way. We owe our existence to dark matter."
The second, seemingly unrelated article was in Popular Mechanics (of all places) which talked about the theory that consciousness, human and otherwise, may actually exist in every single cell in our bodies, and the make up of all those billions of cells, each with their own type of consciousness, combines to make our individual consciousness. A cell can’t function on its own, yet our consciousness as a whole can control so many things in our own bodies; our health, or healing, our ability to create. Our planet, it’s looking like, was a one in a billion chance that couldn’t exist anywhere else, may not exist anywhere else. Earth’s survival is dictated by her attachment to the sun and the moon, but the sun is part of a larger organism held together by Dark Matter.
So maybe, each of our individual consciousnesses are combined to be part of one larger, Universal one, which combined with Dark Matter, is what we consider to be God? We are YHWH, They are us. We are both the chaos and the calm, but without YHWH what are we?
