Let’s just wait and see – what will be will be.
actually, if it turns out that there is no such thing as ‘dark energy’ then the laws of gravity may have to be revised since it doesn’t make sense that the universe is accelerating against gravity…
The time of Moshiach’s arrival, until the year 6000, is unknown Meanwhile, why not strive to perfect the world in such a way that you would think the Moshiach is here (e.g. no more wars, starvation, disease, etc.)? Maybe, when that happens, Moshiach will come.
Not sure what you mean? Does thjat mean that Moshiach is just an unknown theory? So far, there is 221 years to find out. Alot can happen in 221 years. Alot can happen in 221 days.
Gravity is a law, not a theory.
gravity, evolution, 7th millennium are all theories.
truth, however, is unknown.
I think we should speak more about preventing it, and not merely how to treat those already experiencing it.
I know this is not the best platform to reach you, but if you could please speak more about that, Rabbi Jacobson, that would be very beneficial to the young parents that are very concerned about this, especially baalei tshuva and those who’s siblings may be alternative to our path. Example, child’s uncle does not live the way child is being raised.
Thank you so much!
chazak ve’ematz!
