On the other hand, the Menorah in the Mishkan, the stalks of grain in the corners of the field, and the strings at the corners of the 4 cornered garment represent the other 7 dimensions. We are suggesting that the table in the Mishkan, the field of grain, and the four cornered garment – represent the 4 physical dimensions. We know of 4 physical dimensions, and there are in addition 7 other dimensions. To summarize, string theory says that there are 11 dimensions. The central arm of the Menorah might represent the sublime, similar to Shabbat the 7th day of the week, and the blue thread attached to the strings at the 4 corners of a garment. Examples of negative emotions might be anger, worry, and depression.
Examples of positive emotions might be friendship, acceptance, and confidence. On each side are outward, middle, and inward emotions. On the right are positive emotions, and on the left are negative emotions. We’d like to speculate about the 7 emotional dimensions, using the model of the Menorah. It says that when we look at the strings, we are to remember the commandments so we are not led astray by the temptations of our eyes and heart. This paragraph of the Shema says that the strings represent the ethereal realm of our eyes and our heart – our consciousness and our emotions. When we have a four cornered garment – representing the 4 corners of the physical world – we have to add strings to each corner. The third paragraph of the Shema explicitly talks about the dichotomy between the physical and the ethereal. When growing a field of grain – physical land with food for our physical needs – we must remember to care for the needs of the poor, and leave stalks of grain – that look like strings – in the corners of the field – for them to take, exhibiting the traits of generosity and caring. In addition, there are other Biblical symbols that allude to this dichotomy between the physical and ethereal. The Talmud in the book called Chagigah, says that there are 7 heavens, and these might also relate to the 7 other dimensions. The question is: If the table represents the 4 physical dimensions, what are the other 7 dimensions that the Menorah represents? Kaballah – the mystical side of Judaism – says that there are 7 emotional worlds, called the 7 Spheros, and studying them might give us insight into the 7 other dimensions. We drink wine representing the physical, we light a candle representing the ethereal, and we breathe in aromatic spices. As we leave Shabbat and do Havdalah, we again emulate this environment. We eat delicious food at a table, illuminated by the light of candles. On Shabbat we emulate being in this entry room of the Mishkan. The spices are made up of exactly 11 ingredients, and we suggest that they represent all 11 dimensions of String theory. Breathing in a beautiful Aroma is both physical and ethereal. Between the table and the Menorah is an altar with spices that were burned giving off a beautiful aroma. We suggest that the 7 arms of the Menorah represent the 7 other dimensions of String theory. On the left of this outer room of the Mishkan, is a Menorah, with flames on the top of its 7 arms. We suggest that the table – with its four sides and four corners – and with bread that fills our physical needs – represents the four physical dimensions. On the right is a table with loaves of bread that stayed fresh all week.
We will focus on the outer room of the Mishkan, and this outer room contains 3 objects. The inner room of the Mishkan has an ark with the 10 commandments.
ALL ABOUT STRINGS THEORY PORTABLE
The book of Exodus describes the portable temple called the Mishkan. We will look for clues about the other 7 dimension in the five books of Moses and other Jewish writings. If you asked a String theorist – and virtually all theoretical physicists agree with String theory – what the other 7 dimensions are, they would say that the math just says there are 7 other dimensions. But if there are a total of 11 dimensions, what are the other 7 dimensions? We know that the physical world has 4 dimensions – width, height, depth, and time. In 1994 the theory was revised to say that the strings actually vibrate in 11 dimensions. String theory says that the basic building blocks of the Universe are tiny vibrating strings, and the theory originally said that they vibrate in 10 dimensions. In 1984, two Jewish theoretical physicists – John Schwartz and Michael Green – succeeded in this endeavor, and developed a Unified Field Theory called String theory. For the last 30 years of his life, Albert Einstein tried to come up with a Unified Field Theory, to combine the equations of Gravity and Electromagnetism.
