Physics / a new theory explains how the geometric dimensions - length, width and height - were created
Initially there was almost no need for physicists. At the moment of creation, the universe was not controlled by the four different forces observed in later times, but by only one force. Instead of a handful of different particles, there was only the primordial mass, the grandmother of all particles. This mass was ready to explode in the big bang.
Then the bang happened, giving scientists a bit of a mess to explore. As the universe cooled, the single force split into four forces, spreading through the four dimensions of space and time, and the various types of particles were created.
This scientific creation story, which is embraced by physicists and cosmologists alike, seems to explain almost everything - except for one thing: what is the origin of dimensions?
Now some physicists are adding a new aspect to the Genesis story. An article published last month in the journal "Physical Review Letters" hypothesizes that the geometric dimensions, such as the forces and particles, were created when the universe cooled. Although the idea is still in its infancy, physicists are fascinated by the idea that reality began with only one dimension: time. When the universe cooled, in the first minutes after the primordial bang, the spatial dimensions - height, length and width - took shape into existence. Creation was not only a matter of "let there be light", but also of "let there be space".
"For the first time we have an opportunity to find out what is meant by the term 'space'," said Dr. Andrew Cohen, a physicist at Boston University who wrote the paper with Dr. Nima Arkani-Hamed of the University of California at Berkeley and Dr. Howard Giorgi of Harvard.
For decades, physicists tended to take space for granted, as an eternal background - the stage on which the interaction between particles and forces takes place. The new study is part of a growing effort to change the "setting". According to this view, space is secondary and is nothing more than the result of the interaction between new types of particles, which were created only when the universe cooled. A team working at the National Fermi Accelerator Center in Batavia, Illinois has come up with its own version of dimension-creating particles.
The title of the new work, "De)Constructing Dimensions", has a post-modernist tone that is expected in the context of a literary criticism journal. But the professional article, which mentions "Weyl fermions", "periodic symmetries", "Klose-Klein excitations" and other terms in the hidden language of those who know the art, is a focused attempt to get to the heart of the meaning of the concept of space. If the theory is correct, said Dr. Arkani-Hamed, "space can appear and disappear. It depends solely on energy."
What motivated the new research is the desire to explain the origin of the strange and unknown dimensions that string theory, which is an attempt to unify all the laws of physics, requires their existence. According to this theory, all the elements of the universe were created from the interactions of tiny string-like entities. However, the Torah is applicable only if it is allowed to exist in 10 dimensions. Dr. Arkani-Hamed and his colleagues sought to clarify the origin of the additional dimensions. However, according to Arkani-Hamed, the ultimate goal is to take the idea further: "It is tempting to think that the dimensions we are familiar with were also created in this way." Physicists usually explain how basic entities arise from particles. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons; Light is carried by photons; Gravitation by gravitons; The strong nuclear force by gluons. At the extreme energies and temperatures of the Big Bang, the matter-creating particles and the force-carrying particles formed a single entity, which later split into individual entities.
As physicists reach higher energies with their particle accelerators, they believe they are approaching the temperatures and energies that previously existed in the universe, and in this way are getting ever closer to the sources of the particles and the forces.
So far, the space has been resistant to this approach. It remains as something sublime that is simply there. How is it possible that space was created in the blink of an eye by the particles? Imagine an early dimensionless world, consisting of a single point. In this field of confinement there is no movement, no directions in which to move. It is possible that there are also other point worlds, which have no connection between them.
Suppose that when the cooling began, it led to the appearance of a system of particles that carried a force that allowed the entity trapped in a point to move to the neighboring point and so on. The result will be a one-dimensional world: the entities can move along a track with only one dimension. At this point, additional linear worlds may have formed, but they were inaccessible to each other - until the universe cooled enough so that the dimension-creating particles became strong enough to allow movement in a new direction. now
The one-dimensional linear worlds could join to create two-dimensional, and later three-dimensional, worlds.
But why stop here? Maybe other dimensions appeared before he arrived
The universe in its current state? Perhaps those additional dimensions needed for string theory were also created then, dimensions that, according to the explanation given by physicists, are usually not visible because they are "entwined" and too small to be discerned.
From the point of view of the aspirant of a unifying theory, one of the interesting things about the new theory is the way in which it combines the apparently disparate concepts of dimensions and forces. A dimension appears when a force is created that allows movement into a new realm.
Dr. Arkani-Hamed said the hypothetical particles behind these forces appear to be similar to gluons, which carry the strong nuclear force. Like the gluons, the dimension-creating particles may be very weak at high energies and stronger at lower energies.
Of course it is possible that the theory does not explain anything; whose array of hypothetical particles and forces is a fascinating mathematical toy and nothing more. "These ideas are highly speculative, but likely testable experimentally," said Dr. Joseph Leiken, a theorist at Fermi Laboratories.
Other theorists from Fermi Laboratories, Dr. Christopher Hill and Dr. Jing Wang, along with Dr. Stefan Pokorski of the University of Warsaw and Dr. Sin-Chia Cheng of the University of Chicago, separately came up with the theory that dimensions are created by particles .
However, Dr. Hill has a more pragmatic point of view. "We are very excited about all of this," he said. "But philosophically, I somewhat disagree with my competitor. I see this as an extremely useful tool, but it is still not clear if it is of such great importance."

It's amazing how much nonsense a person can believe.
It comes close to what is written in the books of Kabbalah, how the world was created. For example, the letter Yod corresponds to light and the letter E corresponds to three dimensions, length, width and depth. And there is more, but this is not the place
Uninteresting philosophy. One way or another, who knows.
Physics and science are about things that can be measured and experimentally proven to exist (such as the Higgs boson, which was found to exist with P<0.04 significance, meaning 4% that the results would have been obtained if it had not existed. Still not "safe" enough, but scientific).
Philosophy about theories that cannot be verified by facts is not physics even if it is better than philosophy that is contrary to facts (religion).
Uncle
By the way, just so you know. Knowing you are being brainwashed and/or being brainwashed does not make you immune to brainwashing.
Uncle
Are you aware that your rabbi is lying to you?
……………….Ooooooooooooo…
Uncle
My response was mixed with 0% cynicism.
The truth is, it's funny. And ironic, because I also thought it was brainwashing.
@walking death@
Your cynicism is very playful, although not funny when repeated
Uncle
I'm sorry that I have to correct your rabbi's beautiful Hebrew, but what he actually said, when he told you that you shouldn't because you haven't learned enough Torah, is that you shouldn't because the brainwashing you've gone through is not yet strong enough for you to come into contact with the questions that will arise if you persevere and understand the things they will tell you here.
do you think you are right Check how much
You don't have to repent….. You don't have to know what the truth is either
You see?
The site serves as stage 7 for converts
And again, I was not talking about G-d, I was talking about a higher intervention, meaning - an intervention in creation that is above matter
I'm sorry. I really wanted to answer you, but my rabbi told me that I shouldn't because I haven't learned enough Torah yet. They called me a coward.
However, if you want answers to your questions, if you are "men" enough to face the truth, there is someone you can ask via email what you want about G-d, creation, etc., and he will give you answers without regrets.

You must learn simple Hebrew: the translation of "timid" is at any time. If your god always existed then he wouldn't exist outside of the big bang, because then there was no time!!!
Did you understand that, David?
Uncle,
"The theory of physics teaches us that the reality of time exists only in the environment of matter, where there is no matter there is no reality of time" is a lie. Either you have been lied to and you are passing on the lie, or you are a liar. With lies it is very easy to win an argument...
Anyway, good luck later.
Uncle
Where does this nonsense come from? 🙂 There is no connection between the parts of your sentences, and they are also mostly wrong.
@one@
Regarding who created God:
First of all, I didn't say "God", I said supreme intervention.
Whenever we talk about a reality that is beyond matter, this reality has always existed, and not only because this is what Judaism taught us that the Torah was given by God and that is enough, but also the theory of physics teaches us that the reality of time exists only in the environment of matter, where there is no matter there is no reality of Time, and from the word the logical knowledge is that something had to create the material, and since it created the material it is not material, because the reality of a creator must be outside of the created thing. From a word it has no material properties, therefore the reality of time does not apply to it, and from a word if it is beyond time it does not need to have a beginning, so it always existed.

no and no. First thing - there was no energy "before" the big bang - this is not Mev who says the big bang theory.
Second thing - there was no "before" the big bang at all, and this is exactly what the theory says 🙂
"David, who told you there was a time when there was no material? The Big Bang Theory doesn't say that!!!'
Miracles,
It seems to me that this is exactly what the big bang theory says, that at the moment of the big bang all the matter in the universe was created (before there was only energy, and it became matter).
"Where did the explosion come from?"
Uncle,
Why don't you also ask where God came from?
Uncle
You are right about one thing. The scientific revelations contradict a great deal of the nonsense found in the book of the Torah.
No scientist has an answer to the question "Where did the explosion come from?" Because no scientist asks this question because only people who don't understand what it is about think it is an explosion.
If you are called to engage in matters of "there is no Moyin in the world" then you must understand that if this is true or that there never was a Moyin, and something always existed and therefore there was no need for any creation and no Creator is needed, or that it is possible that in fact there is a Moyin, which again Says that there is no need for any creation and no creator is needed.
The claim you made is one complete error based on nothing more than your wishful thinking following your inability to overcome the brainwashing you experienced as a child.
Uncle
Who told you there was a time when there was no substance? The Big Bang Theory doesn't say that!!!
Who told you that there is nothing? It makes sense to you, but it's not a good enough reason.
In the "Holy Torah" there are a lot of errors, and a lot of immorality. Excellent reasons (!) for the reasonable person not to take neither morality nor knowledge from this book.
If you want to have a substantive discussion then gladly. If you want to show us how arrogant and stupid you are - I think we understand.

First of all, all the 'scientific statements' are just a theory and nothing more. Secondly, the Torah exists even before all theories, so all scientific theories contradict the Torah :\. Third thing, no scientist in the world has an answer to the question "Where did the explosion come from?", and the reason for this is clear - there is no Moin in the world, that is, matter cannot be created from nothing, and therefore there must be a higher intervention in creation (it would have been better to stick with the theory that the world has always existed , this theory can still be understood). Please take this as food for thought, not as a topic for debate.
Why is the "Let there be light" religion attributed as the opening of the creation process?
For ultra-orthodox Jews
It is also written in the Torah that God created heaven and earth and water and only then light. Do you notice that this contradicts all the scientific statements?
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was chaos and chaos and darkness on the surface of the abyss and the Spirit of God hovers on the surface of the waters."
Why make everything so complicated? Especially when you can't prove this science fiction,
This is exactly what is written in the Torah!!! God is one
More precisely and without detracting from the interest in the article:
Although for years science treated space as an "indifferent" data. A platform on which there are particles and interactions between them. This was classical (Newtonian) physics.
but ..
The Newton-Leibnitz-Leibnitz-Gres flag was different from the beginning. He believed that there is a connection between matter, interactions and space. He continued Descartes' line and Einstein continued this line in the theory of relativity and thus the idea of the curvature of space was born.
One of the foundations of modern physics is a different approach to space.
The space is no longer symmetrical / empty / spreads endlessly in a kind of straight lines. This is no longer the "classical" space of Euclidean geometry that we learned in school.
And this is where ideas were born that are based on the unity and connection between matter, relations between particles and space.
