The Big Bang
LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET CONSECTETUR
Albert Einstein said “Science without Religion is lame, and Religion without Science is blind.” The Kabbalists have always seen the two as complementary rather than contradictory. The cosmology of Kabbalah and of Modern Science can also be seen as complementary perspectives.
In the Kabbalah, the Creation of the Universe is spoken of as a contraction of God’s Infinite Light. Nothing can be about ‘what God is’. That is unknowable. What is said, is ‘that He Is’, endlessly. And the Kabbalah describes in great detail what can be known - what God does - and the tools He uses to channel His unlimited creativity, the 10 Sefirot of Nothingness and the 22 Foundation Letters. This is all only spoken about from the ‘moment’ of this contraction and on.
According to Modern Science, the birth of the universe, the beginning of time and space, took place around 14 billion years ago. Physicists call this momentous event, the Big Bang. They speak in great detail and mathematical precision about the perfect symmetry of this singularity, and how it is broken when the 4 Forces of nature (strong nuclear, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, and gravity) emerge in the first micro-fraction of a second after the Big Bang. And Science certainly has a lot to say about happened from then on, but can say nothing about what ‘was before’ that.
Another similarity for me is how Scientists call the Bing Bang, a singularity, which is defined as something infinite. But something singular is also one. When Kabbalists say, “God is One”, they mean that He is One in the sense of being Infinite.
