Can natural laws exist in a random way?
Hello Rabbi,
I wanted to ask whether a natural law can exist without a legislator.
I’m not talking about the special laws that create a person or something, but about the fact that laws exist. Every piece of matter acts the same way as its neighbor.
I saw a few posts here on the subject, but I didn’t find an answer in them, and I didn’t see any reference to the question in the notebooks either.
I would love to hear the tsaddikim speak.
There are no overly sophisticated aspects here. After all, we are dealing with intuitions. A common assumption is that there are no laws without a legislator. But the fact that different objects act similarly is not necessarily a law in the usual sense. It could also stem from their essence, which is the same. Of course, if this behavior is governed by something (like the law of gravity, the attraction of objects with mass, which is governed by the force of gravity), then that entity probably has a creator.
This discussion is related to the second notebook (where it discusses the cause of the existence of objects, but even there it has no connection to the complexity and uniqueness of the thing being discussed).
