Strengthening the Rabbi’s Claim
Question
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kikar.co.il/_amp/haredim-news/sut0jp Support for the rabbi’s statement that someone can be a great scientist and still say nonsense like a three-year-old child
Answer
Since there is no question here, I should have deleted the thread. But I’ll leave it up just to note that, although I haven’t actually read what was said, let this be a rule of thumb for you: when someone is described on a Haredi platform as a “great scientist,” that roughly means he knows how to read and write.

And that makes him a “great scientist”?
That’s true in general, Rabbi, but דווקא here—at least based on the description on his YouTube channel, if he’s telling the truth—it isn’t true: “He previously served as a scientist in the defense industry, and holds a doctorate in particle physics from the Weizmann Institute. Rabbi Alon also holds additional degrees in physics and mathematics.”
