Kabbalah Meets Quantum Physics

A unique scientific conference was held in San Francisco, California in March, 2005, introducing Kabbalist Rav Michael Laitman, PhD and quantum physicists William Tiller, PhD, Dr. Jeffrey Satinover, and Fred Alan Wolf, PhD. All three scientists participated in the docudrama hit, What the Bleep Do We Know? The theme of the conference was “Quantum Physics Meets Kabbalah.”

This fascinating conference consisted of intense closed discussions and public presentations. Following the introduction of the participants, Dr. Laitman gave an overview of Kabbalah, explaining the structure of reality and how the substance of Creation—the desire to receive pleasure—evolves. It only took one session to create a common language among the scientists.

Later that evening, the scientists presented their specific fields of expertise in a public panel before lecturers and students from the University of California, Berkeley, and StanfordUniversity.

The next morning they returned to the discussion table. In between discussions they shared their impressions from the conference and exchanged stories of their own personal quests.

A few weeks later, Dr. Satinover attended an international congress in Israel whose theme was “The Wisdom of Kabbalah.” During the congress, Dr. Laitman and Dr. Satinover discussed diverse topics such as freedom of choice, the global crisis, the family unit in the 21st century, the intensifying search for spirituality, and the future of humankind. Dr. Satinover gave a public presentation about quantum physics and its far-reaching implications.

The explanations of Kabbalah in this part of the book are based on these meetings.
