why was this approved? I don't understand the comment nor the improvement of the edit. It changes the question to assume a significance, as opposed to question if there is any.

@yEz You could comment there to ask the approver directly. You can also revert.

Does anyone here know physics?

Like quantum mechanics?

Or relativistic quantum chemistry?

Need help with my homework

Crap this isn't the physics chat

yEz

@SirCumference-Pies We're experts in metaphysics!

Sir Cumference - Pies

Er...close?

There's probably a way to incorporate QM with Judaism

yEz

@SirCumference-Pies Without a doubt.

Wish the torah went into black holes. Those things are regions with gravity so insane, light can't escape...

Q: Reconciling the evidence for the Uncertainty Principle with belief in an omniscient G-d

One of the foundations of modern quantum mechanics is the Uncertainty Principle. This principle is not an assumption, but rather is derived from assumptions made with regard to the structure of nature. The basic statement of the Uncertainty Principle, however, is that it is impossible to know the...

I'd pay to know why they exist

I know that God isn't limited by physics

I'm just wondering why there's all this extreme stuff in space...none of it's here

Then again, I'm kind of glad God didn't put a black hole here...

Q: Why is there so much space and matter,etc. in the universe?

If the point of all of creation is for the Jewish people to accept and carry out the torah [I realize this is not axiomatic and may be a point of contention - see Shabbat 88a] what is the need for the trillions of galaxies, dark matter, dark energy etc. and all they contain that exists beyond our...

I see no one has "officially" welcomed you to Mi Yodeya. Welcome! Thanks for your answers thus far; I hope you continue to use and enjoy the site. — msh210 ♦ 7 mins ago

@msh210 I, for one, missed that Daniel was a new user. His is the nineteenth account with that display name! data.stackexchange.com/judaism/query/401710

The only more-frequently-duplicated display name we have is David, with 27. Then come Michael - 18, Shmuel - 14 Moshe - 13, and Joseph - 10.

cc @Daniel ^^^

Isaac Moses

@DoubleAA Which one? :)

Double AA

@IsaacMoses More like a guttural issue. (You should be seeing the page about wedding Brachot, right?)

Isaac Moses

@DoubleAA Oh. Maybe he should use a key instead. I heard that's holy.

@DoubleAA There used to be (and may still be) a chala on the market in NYC called "The Chosen Challah". I've always wondered whether that was a deliberate pun on chosn kala.

@IsaacMoses As did I, until then. What made me notice then was that his rep was 101 (like a new users from another SE site) but he had two upvotes (so that didn't make sense)... so I checked his profile.

@DoubleAA Did you check print editions? Maybe it's an older typo than the Web version.

@DoubleAA Perhaps the idea is to do option (b) from this list of priorities
