Q&A: A Physical Expression of the Soul
A Physical Expression of the Soul
Question
Hello Rabbi, my name is Y., and from time to time I send the Rabbi questions.
I wanted to ask whether, in your opinion, there is anything new in the discovery that was published (at this link)?
Do you think there must be a physical expression of the soul?
Thank you.
Answer
Here is a rule you should always keep in mind: any science headline on Walla, or on internet sites in general, and especially one dealing with something connected to God, free will, or the soul, must not be opened. Treat it like a virus. They collect childish nonsensical musings and turn them into decisive scientific facts. Of course, it is always possible that the original source was more intelligent than the article, and the problem lies with the reporter.
Regarding this article, I was already asked about it yesterday, so I saw it. As I said, usually I do not open these things at all, for fear of violating “do not destroy” on my keyboard. And indeed, what I feared has come upon me: a complete collection of nonsense.
To the questioner,
They wrote: “According to Carroll, the possibility that there is life after death has in fact been examined by science, through the use of quantum theory. According to the theory, there is one field in the universe for each type of particle—one for all photons, one for electrons, and so on. If there were a certain kind of life after death, quantum tests would reveal the existence of some kind of ‘soul particles’ and accordingly also ‘soul forces,’ and there are none.”
It is impossible not to laugh at this stupid paragraph.
