Researchers have for many years been probing the fundamental properties of elements and in more recent history using super colliders to probe their interactions upon collision and decomposition. The most recent study that has been published [1] was conducted by smashing lead (Pb) atoms together at speeds 99.9999991% of the speed of light using strong magnetic fields in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The results of the collisions helped scientists to develop correlations between three flow coefficients as well as correlations between higher moments of two different flow coefficients which is claimed to pave the way to tighten constraints on initial-state models and help to extract precise information on the dynamic evolution of the hot and dense matter created in heavy-ion collisions. These results are said to help scientists understand the first matter that appeared after the Big Bang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Pb-Pb collisions in the LHC was reported to lead to a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) which lasted a fraction of a second following its formation. This was enough time for scientists to measure the properties of this plasma\u2019s liquid-like characteristics. Some of the properties of this liquid-like plasma is that it was less resistant to flow than any other known substance. The Scientific community has the presupposition of the creation of the universe through the Big Ban and it is postulated that after this singular event, the universe was a soup of energy just prior to its expanding (period known as inflation) which allowed the created matter to form, solidify, interact, and form stars, and planets, etc. The first thing that was created are the fundamental particles known as quarks, along with the gluons which is the strong force that holds the quarks together. As these particles cooled, they formed subatomic particles called hadrons leading to the formation of protons and neutrons. Scientists were attempting to study this phenomenon using the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. Smashing the Pb-Pb particles together led to the formation of a plasma that effectively melted the Pb particles into their primordial forms for a fraction of a second. This research paper [1] reported the first time scientists were able to detect the liquid properties of this kind of collision in detail. The plasma was said to have lasted only 10^-23 seconds, and a new computer simulation that was coupled with the measured data allowed them to ascertain the correlation data in the initial-state fluctuations and probe the nonlinear hydrodynamic response of the v2 and v3 to their corresponding initial anisotropy coefficients e2 and e3. These are related to the analytical mathematical analysis technique, v2, and v3 are known as the lower Fourier harmonics in anisotropic flow models. These initial state models allowed for scientists to study the properties of these particles which condensed into hadrons. They discovered the QGP was a perfect liquid which means that it had virtually zero viscosity which is the measure of the resistance to flow. This liquid also changed shape over time in a way that was unlike other forms of matter. The scientists report that these results provide insights into the early state of the universe after the creation event. In order to further probe this new form of matter, they need a better upgraded particle accelerator. There is a new billion dollar accelerator being built in the USA which will be completed in 2031. This accelerator is being built at the Department of Energy\u2019s Brookhaven National Laboratory Upton Long Island. Funding for the project will primarily come from the DOE, which expects to fund up to $2.6 billion, with New York State adding an additional $100 million. That will pay for a 2.4-mile long ring to be built parallel to the collider that\u2019s already in place at Brookhaven. It\u2019s hoped that investment will pay off if researchers can understand the nature of how gluons bind structures together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Spiritual Insights that we receive from this type of research is related to the creation of the universe as it is described according to the Torah (the 5 books of Moses) in the Bible. Now the standard cosmological model proposed by scientists today is the Big Bang model. This model is the result of observations that have been made by the expansion of the universe and the Hubble constant (H = 55 (km\/s)\/Mpc).\u00a0 The Hubble constant represents the initial rate of expansion of the universe under the assumption of there being a constant rate of expansion. The Bible describes the universe in various ways. According to the Scriptures God created the universe. This means there was a prime mover, creator, God who created what we know and see today, setting up the laws of thermodynamics, physics, and chemistry. This is drastically different from the model proposed today for the big bang which postulates a singularity was what formed the universe and then led to an evolutionary process of creation. According to the Greek NT, the words used to describe the universe are given in various ways, such as the word \u03ba\u03cc\u03c3\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2 (kosmos) for example in Matthew 4:8<\/a>, \u03b2\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03bb\u03b5\u03af\u03b1\u03c2 \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03ba\u03cc\u03c3\u03bc\u03bf\u03c5 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c4\u1f74\u03bd, \u201cthe kingdoms of the world and their glory.\u201d (There are many examples, compare: Matthew 5:14, Matthew 13:35, Matthew 13:38, Matthew 16:26, Matthew 18:7, Matthew 24:21,Matthew 25:34, Matthew 26:13, Mark 8:36, Mark 14:9, Mark 16:15, Luke 9:25, Luke 11:50, Luke 12:30, John 1:9, John 1:10, John 1:29, John 3:16, John 3:17, John 3:17, John 3:17, John 3:19<\/a> ).

    Since God is the creator of all, it can be likewise concluded that God is also our Deliverer, King, and Lord. As a result of these things, the rabbis have written significantly on this subject of God being creator and since He is the beginning and the end, they also write about how God is savior and Lord.

The second verse in the Torah is described as being surrounded by insurmountable darkness, and the Lord God hovering over the face of the waters as the Hebraic way of showing God\u2019s presence having a salvific influence in the bringing of the spirit of the Messiah in righteousness and truth. This is followed by the very first act of creation as God said, \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b9\u05bc\u05d0\u05de\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9-\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9-\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8 creating light by His righteousness and truth! The first two verses in the Torah speak to God\u2019s ultimate plan, to deliver His people from darkness and bring them into the light, providing us with a significant amount of insight on the messianic nature of the King Messiah. The point of these things is that the rabbis are associating the movement of the Spirit of God with the coming of the Messiah. This is why we read what we do according to the apostolic Writings (NT) such as in Matthew 3<\/a> and from Isaiah that the anointed one of God would receive divine power to accomplish his mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not to disregard any part of Scripture as irrelevant today for our lives. Just as we see how the sages have a fervent expectation of the Messiah\u2019s coming as illustrated in Midrash Rabbah on Bereshit 1:1-2<\/span><\/em>, we wait every day for the coming of the Messiah. In Orthodox Jewish halakhah, the belief in the coming Messiah is a requirement of faith. This is illustrated in Maimonides thirteen principles of Jewish faith, as Maimonides states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    11<\/td> <\/td>I believe by complete faith that the Creator, blessed be His name, rewards all who keep His commandments and punishes all those who transgress His commands. <\/td><\/tr>

    Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (Maimonides \/ Rambam) composed the thirteen principles of Jewish faith. These thirteen principles of faith are included in every Jewish prayer book, and are recited as a liturgical hymn at the conclusion of a Friday or Festival service. This recitation is known as the Yigda and embodies Judaism’s fundamental pillars of traditional belief, just as the Apostles’ or the Nicene Creeds do for Christians. Notice the twelfth principle includes the hopeful expectation of the coming of the Messiah! Principle thirteen includes the belief in the resurrection of the dead. Anyone who rejects the imminent return of the Messiah is considered heretical. There is an obligation to keep this imminent expectation alive in our lives as God who will deliver us out of darkness, and of the coming day of redemption, which applies to us every minute of every day! This is the strength of meaning and purpose of the Scriptures beginning with the creation account, the Lord God Almighty is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, he is our all in all! We note how all of these things are consistent with Scripture, as Yeshua said in Revelation 3:11<\/a> (\u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05d0 \u05de\u05b7\u05d4\u05b5\u05e8, \u201cI come quickly\u201d<\/span><\/em>) and 22:12<\/a> (\u05f4\u05d4\u05b4\u05e0\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05d0 \u05de\u05b7\u05d4\u05b5\u05e8, \u201cbehold I come quickly\u201d<\/span><\/em>).
