The Tower of Babel – The Essence of Destruction and Creation

Let’s consider the process of building and destroying the Tower of Babel in the aspect we are discussing.
There was destruction, which leveled the possibilities of human knowledge of Creation. Specifically, changes occurred in the closed system of existence of the universe created by God, diminishing the abilities of post-flood observers. In order to preserve humanity within the initially set parameters and goals, it was necessary to restore the ability to know God and approach Him consciously, just as it was at the beginning of humanity’s journey. And Abraham was created as a replacement for Adam and his legacy.
The building of the Tower of Babel symbolized humanity’s desire to reach the heavens and become equal to God, an expression of pride. This disrupted the divine order, as people sought to use their knowledge and abilities for selfish purposes.
Abraham was chosen to restore the direct connection with God. He was the first to rediscover monotheism and began to build a nation that would carry the knowledge of God and His plans. By entering into a covenant with God, Abraham received the promise of a numerous offspring and land. This covenant represented a new beginning and mission, similar to what Adam had received. Abraham became the bearer of divine knowledge and laws.
Through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, divine knowledge was passed down to the next generations. This process can be viewed as the restoration of the lost ability to know God, which was disrupted after the destruction of the Tower of Babel. Thus, the destruction of the Tower of Babel and the subsequent choice of Abraham can be seen as two interconnected parts of the divine plan. The Tower symbolized division and limitation of knowledge, while Abraham and his descendants received the mission to restore the lost knowledge and lead humanity to the conscious understanding of God and His Creation.

Let’s clarify the details. Humanity lost the ability to do what it was created for, namely — consciously advancing towards understanding the Divine essence of Creation. The loss of this ability due to the destruction of the Tower of Babel and the subsequent mission of Abraham are the central themes of this interpretation. Before the destruction of the tower, people were united by a common language and possibly common knowledge. They could cooperate and strive for great goals, including understanding the Divine. However, their pride and desire to become equal to God led to God’s intervention, who destroyed the tower and mixed the languages, resulting in division and the loss of unity in knowledge.
God chose Abraham to restore the connection with Him and to bring back the lost abilities of knowledge through him and his descendants. Abraham became a new beginning, the bearer of the divine covenant and knowledge. The Tower of Babel symbolized the complete loss of connection with the source. The division into languages meant the absence of direct knowledge and the disappearance of observers. The world stopped seeing and hearing. God was lost. The continuation of the system became impossible. The Tower of Babel is destruction. Therefore, the creation of a new group of observers became necessary, and Abraham, a man from Ur, was chosen, whose ability to see was most structurally aligned with the requirements of the system.

The sequence of creating a new group of observers is described in ancient texts as follows:

• Abraham (a replacement for Adam)
• Sarah (a replacement for Eve)
  Changes in names with the addition of the letter “ה” (he) are analogous to the direct breath of God into Adam’s nostrils for the formalization of subsequent actions.
  Selection and transmission of knowledge in the form of the Torah. By entering into a covenant with God, Abraham received the promise of numerous descendants and land, symbolizing a new beginning and mission. His descendants were to become the bearers of divine commandments and knowledge, restoring the lost abilities to consciously progress toward the understanding of the Divine essence of Creation.

The story of the Tower of Babel is a symbolic tale that imparts important spiritual and moral lessons. It emphasizes the dangers of pride and the desire to equate oneself with God, as well as the consequences of the loss of unity and cooperation among people.
Divine Intervention: Whether viewed literally or allegorically, the story illustrates how God intervenes in human affairs to preserve the divine plan and guide people on the true path. More precisely, the observance of laws and order in the closed system He created and called Creation.

What If the People Chosen as the New Nation – the Hebrews – Cease to Exist?

According to some Kabbalistic teachings, the people of Israel play a key role in maintaining the spiritual balance and harmony in the world. The fulfillment of the commandments and the spiritual activity of the people of Israel contribute to maintaining the connection between the earthly and divine realms.
If we assume that the people of Israel were to cease to exist, it could lead to the loss of spiritual balance and harmony. Metaphysically, the world might become more chaotic and devoid of divine guidance.
Judaism forms the foundation for Christianity and Islam. The disappearance of the people of Israel could provoke significant changes and crises in these religions, which in turn would affect billions of people worldwide.

Both Adam and Abraham were created and chosen to maintain the divine order and prevent chaos through the covenant, name change (the addition of the letter “ה”), and the receiving of the Torah by their descendants. Their role is critical to the existence of Creation, as through Abraham and his descendants, laws and commandments were established that were meant to guide humanity and prevent the return of chaos. The existence and continuity of Adam, Abraham, and their descendants are fundamental to maintaining the divine order in the world. Their role in transmitting and observing the divine commandments and knowledge prevents the return of chaos and ensures the harmonious existence of Creation. Thus, their continuation and succession can truly be seen as the guarantee of the existence of Creation.

Building the Tower of Babel was an act of attempting to destroy the followers of Adam, and thus a resistance to the divine order.
In the book of Genesis, the original chaos (“tohu vavohu”) precedes God’s act of creation, where order is made from chaos by the separation of light from darkness, waters from dry land, etc. The construction and subsequent destruction of the Tower of Babel can be interpreted as a repetition of this cycle in human history — from chaos (the unified human community) through the attempt at order (building the tower) back to chaos (the division into different peoples and languages).
This analogy highlights that in the biblical text, God uses chaos not only as punishment but also as a way to rethink and change the paths of human development. The destruction of the tower returns humanity to the initial state of division, but it also opens the path for new beginnings and the development of various cultures and societies. This serves as a reminder that human attempts to surpass or circumvent the divine plan may lead to unforeseen consequences and changes in the order of the world.

The Destruction of the Tower of Babel and the Role of the Observers

The destruction of the Tower of Babel and the mixing of languages led to the loss of collective knowledge and abilities, which had been inherited from Adam. People became divided and lost their unity, weakening them.
For centuries, the Jewish people, like a bright guiding star, illuminated the path for humanity despite the endless waves of persecution and oppression that sought to extinguish this light. Anti-Semitism, like a dark cloud, aimed to overshadow this radiance, undermining the sacred mission of the Jewish people and disrupting the divine order they brought to the world.
Anti-Semitism is not just an act of hatred; it is a challenge to the very divine order of the universe. Opposing the mission of the Jewish people, their effort to preserve and transmit divine commandments, undermines the foundations of spiritual and moral guidance, leading the world toward destabilization and chaos.
This perspective emphasizes the significance of the Jewish people’s mission in maintaining harmony and order on Earth. Opposing anti-Semitism becomes not just a necessity but a sacred duty for anyone striving for spiritual and moral renewal.
In the Kabbalistic tradition, AQ (Adam Quantum) is seen as the primordial spiritual man, the first emanation of God, who encompasses all aspects of creation. He is the archetype of all humanity, playing a key role in maintaining the existence of the world. AQ, as an observer, upholds order and harmony through his being and connection with the divine. His role is to establish a connection between the divine plan and the physical reality, much like the quantum observer determines the state of the system.
In quantum mechanics, the observer does not simply passively record events but actively influences the state of the system, selecting from many potential possibilities. The observer plays a crucial role. The state of a quantum system is not defined until an act of observation occurs, which leads to the “collapse of the wave function” and the fixation of a specific state. In this context, AQ can be seen as the cosmic observer, whose actions and perceptions shape the nature of reality on a macro level. This idea aligns with Kabbalistic teachings that AQ contains all the souls that have ever existed or will ever exist, emphasizing his role as the universal observer and creator of the structure of the universe. His central place in the process of world order highlights that his perception and awareness directly influence the realization of potential states of reality.
There is a belief that the world continues to exist due to the observance of divine commandments and the maintenance of order provided by the observers. As long as the descendants of AQ, such as Abraham and his descendants, exist, the world remains in harmony. In other words, humanity sees the world through the eyes of Adam and his followers, interpreting and perceiving reality through the spiritual and moral principles established by them. Their task is to maintain the divine order and harmony through the fulfillment and transmission of spiritual laws and knowledge. The existence of these observers and their fulfillment of their mission guarantees the continuation and stability of Creation.
After the destruction of the Tower of Babel, when humanity was scattered and languages were mixed, the appearance of Abraham symbolized a new beginning and the renewal of humanity’s connection to the Divine. In this sense, Abraham, as an observer, becomes a central figure in restoring order and transmitting divine knowledge and will to the next generations. He not only founded a nation that would become the Israelites but also symbolically restores the order lost after the construction of the tower and its subsequent destruction. This gives a new dimension to his role as the progenitor and spiritual leader, whose actions and faith guide the future of humanity.

The Collective Observer

The Jewish people can be seen as a collective observer, who through the observance of the Torah and divine commandments, supports the existence of the world. Attempts to destroy the Jewish people as a collective observer can be seen as a threat to the stability and existence of the world. Without the observers maintaining the divine order, the world may return to a state of chaos and uncertainty.

Conclusions

Thus, the role of Adam and his descendants, starting with Abraham and his progeny, is critically important for the existence and maintenance of the divine order in the world. Their mission involves the transmission and observance of divine commandments and knowledge, which prevents the return of chaos and ensures the harmonious existence of Creation. Anti-Semitism and resistance to their mission present a threat to this order, underscoring the importance of protecting and supporting them.

Jung, Schrödinger, and Kashrut

The Observer Effect: How Observation Changes Reality

To better understand the ideas and assumptions presented below, let us revisit what was written at the beginning of this book.

The world we live in seems orderly and predictable. We are confident that the observed object does not change its properties simply because we are looking at it. However, in the world of quantum physics, things are different. The very act of observation can radically change the behavior of an object. This concept is known as the observer effect.

What is the Observer Effect?

The observer effect is a phenomenon in which the very fact of observing an object or process alters its behavior or characteristics. In everyday life, this might seem strange, but in the world of quantum mechanics, it is a fundamental principle.

Observation in the Quantum World

One of the most famous examples of the observer effect is the double-slit experiment, first conducted by English scientist Thomas Young in 1801. This experiment became fundamental for understanding the nature of light and matter from the perspective of quantum mechanics.

Particles (such as electrons) are directed at a screen with two slits. If no one observes the particles, they behave like waves, creating an interference pattern. However, when a detector is set up to track which slit the particle passes through, the interference pattern disappears. The particles now behave as solid objects, passing through one slit or the other.

The very fact of observation alters the behavior of quantum objects. Before observation, they exist in a superposition, passing through both slits simultaneously. Observation “forces” them to choose a specific state.

Schrödinger’s Cat Thought Experiment

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger proposed a thought experiment in 1935 to vividly demonstrate the strangeness of the quantum world.

The essence of the experiment: In a sealed box, there is a cat, a vial of poison, and a radioactive atom. If the atom decays, the mechanism is triggered, and the cat dies. If the atom does not decay, the cat survives. While the box is sealed, the cat is in a superposition, both alive and dead at the same time.

The purpose of the experiment was to show that in the quantum world, objects can exist in multiple states simultaneously. However, once we open the box and observe the system, the cat is either alive or dead. Observation collapses the superposition.

Why Does the Observer Affect Quantum Objects?

“To record the behavior of an electron, it must be illuminated with photons. This minimal intervention inevitably changes the state of the electron. The more precise the measurement, the greater the impact on the object.” Thus, the measuring instrument does not simply record the result but actively participates in shaping the final state of the system.

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute have demonstrated that changing the parameters of the detector alters the behavior of electrons. Any attempt to observe in the quantum world changes the quantum system.

The Observer Effect in Social Psychology

The observer effect is not limited to physics. In social psychology, this phenomenon was first observed in the Hawthorne experiment in the 1920s. At the Western Electric factory, working conditions were improved to study their impact on productivity. Workers continued to work at a high level of productivity even in challenging conditions.

The reason: they knew they were being observed.

This effect was named the Hawthorne effect. People change their behavior when they know they are being watched.

The Observer Effect in Linguistics

American linguist William Labov encountered a similar phenomenon in language. He noticed that people speak differently when they know they are being recorded. He called this phenomenon the observer paradox. How do linguists deal with it? By using covert observation and providing false research goals.

Criticism of the Observer Effect

Some scientists believe the observer effect is often exaggerated. For example, in the double-slit experiment with fullerenes (C₆₀), observing molecules changed their behavior not due to the presence of an observer but because of radiation emitted by the heated molecules.

The observer effect does not arise from the mere fact of observation but from physical interaction. Without measurement or intervention, the behavior of the quantum system does not change.

The Observer Effect Unites Quantum Physics, Psychology, and Sociology

The observer effect unites quantum physics, psychology, and sociology. In the micro-world, observation shapes reality, and in society, it influences human behavior. Understanding this effect allows us to better comprehend how the interaction between the subject and the object forms the surrounding world.

So:

There is a source of light or elementary particles, such as electrons. The light or particles pass through a barrier with two narrow slits. Behind the barrier is a screen that records the results. When the light or particles pass through the slits without observation (not measuring which slit the particle passes through), an interference pattern appears on the screen — alternating light and dark bands, characteristic of waves. When a device is set up for observation (tracking which slit the particle passes through), the interference pattern disappears. The screen shows a pattern as if each particle passed through one slit and did not “interact” with the other.

Conclusions: Particles such as electrons behave like waves and create interference until an observation is made. The act of observation “forces” particles to manifest as particles, not waves. This illustrates a key principle of quantum mechanics: the nature of quantum objects depends on observation. Before measurement, the object exists in a superposition — simultaneously in all possible states.

This experiment highlights a fundamental question about the role of the observer in quantum mechanics, which can be analyzed in the context of biblical events.

 

Quantum Mechanics Destroys the Conventional Idea of a World Independent of Us. At the Micro Level, Reality is Formed at the Moment of Interaction with the Observer.

• Any measurement requires interaction with the particle (for example, illuminating it with photons), which changes its state.
• In the quantum world, the observer cannot be separated from the observed object — they become a unified system.

Dairy Kashrut.

As is well known, milk becomes kosher if a Jew is present during milking.

Yes, this is connected with Jewish laws of kashrut, especially regarding dairy products. According to Jewish law (Halacha), milk is considered non-kosher if it is obtained by an idol-worshipper without the supervision of a Jew (Talmud, Tractate Avodah Zarah, 36b).

Jewish Supervision (חלב ישראל): A Jew must be present during milking to ensure that the milk is indeed from kosher animals, such as cows, sheep, or goats, and not mixed with milk from non-kosher animals (for example, camels or pigs).

This concept implies that milk produced under Jewish supervision is guaranteed to be kosher. In modern contexts, this requirement is generally observed only in Orthodox circles, as state regulations in many countries ensure that milk comes from cows and does not contain foreign impurities.

Some rabbis allow the consumption of milk without Jewish supervision if it is produced in countries with state control over the dairy industry, calling it “chalav akum” (חלב עכו”ם), provided the likelihood of non-kosher milk being used is minimal. However, many Orthodox Jews still strictly observe Chalav Yisrael.

The idea of the presence of an observer who makes the process “kosher” can be symbolically interpreted in the context of this project, linking the role of the observer with concepts of order and spiritual purity.

Let’s complicate the analysis of this process using the knowledge of quantum mechanics.

Let’s Assume That a Person Has an Inner Light, Which is the Source. And the Eyes are the Analogy of Schrödinger’s Two Slits.

This analogy combines quantum mechanics with the spiritual and symbolic aspects of kashrut. Let’s break this down into steps and try to comprehend:

1. Inner Light as the Source The assumption that a person has an inner light, which serves as the source, can be linked to the concept of the soul (נשמה) and its connection to Divine light. In quantum mechanics, a light source is a source of energy, from which both the wave and particle nature emanates.
2. Eyes as the Analogy of Two Slits The eyes, functioning as dual slits, can be viewed as a tool of observation. In the context of quantum mechanics, it is the act of observation that determines the outcome of the experiment.

If the eyes “look” at the process (for example, at the process of milking the cow), the observation fixes the state of the milk as kosher, eliminating the possibility of it being non-kosher. This corresponds to the “collapse of the wave function” in quantum theory.

Without observation, the process remains in a superposition state, where the milk can simultaneously be both kosher and non-kosher until its state is “fixed.”

3. Duality and Interference The eyes, as dual slits, can be related to the perception of reality. Just as light particles (or electrons) exhibit interference if it’s not fixed through which slit they pass, the observation of the Jewish “inner light” on the process can eliminate chaos (interference) and bring the world to order (kosher milk).

Without observation, the kashrut process “oscillates” between chaos and order, not settling into a single state.

The observer’s intervention brings the process into a strictly ordered state (kosher milk).

In quantum mechanics, the observer is part of the system, not an external element. This reflects the Jewish view, according to which a Jew is not simply an external observer but an active participant in the sacred process. The presence of inner light and the connection to the Divine makes their gaze a “quantum of order,” necessary for the correction and ordering of the world.

Thus, a Jew with inner light becomes the necessary “observer” in the quantum kashrut system. Their eyes, as an analogy of the dual slits, play the role of fixing and determining order.

Milk, as a system, exists in a quantum state until the act of observation leads it to a kosher state, eliminating the possibility of it being non-kosher.

This analogy beautifully illustrates how the spiritual and the physical can be linked through the principles of quantum mechanics.

Can There Be an Internal Light in a Person? Can the Eyes Study Light? Can the Eyes Reflect Light?

1. Can There Be a Physical Source of Light Inside a Person?
   • Bioluminescence: Some human cells emit weak light (biophotons) during metabolic activity. This emission is too weak to be seen with the naked eye, but it can be detected by scientific instruments.
   • Electromagnetic Radiation: All living creatures emit heat in the form of infrared radiation, which can technically be considered “light” in a broad sense.
2. Can the Eyes Emit Light?
   • Yes, the human eyes are specifically designed for this. The eyes are a complex optical system. The retina of the eye contains photoreceptors (rods and cones) that perceive light waves. These light waves are converted into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain interprets the wavelength (color), intensity, and direction of light, allowing a person to see. Thus, human eyes can theoretically “emit” light, by fixing its parameters and converting them into data that the brain uses to create a visual image.
3. Can the Eyes “Reflect” Light?
   • Reflection of Light: Eyes can reflect light, making them a source of “secondary light.” For example, under certain lighting conditions, eyes can “glow” due to reflection (an effect observable in animals, especially at night).
   • Phenomenon of “Inner Light”: In the dark or with closed eyes, a person may perceive light phenomena caused by neural activity in the brain. This is not real light but an interpretation by the brain of electrical activity.

Humans do not have a physical light source in the literal sense, though the body may emit weak radiation (biophotons or infrared waves). The eyes do not create light but can reflect it or cause the sensation of light through brain activity. These aspects can be used to further build analogies, but it’s important to remember they are based on strictly physical and biological principles.

1. Light Emission — is a process in which an object itself produces and emits light (photons). At the atomic level, light emission occurs when electrons within atoms transition from a higher energy level to a lower one, emitting a photon.

Today, we know about the existence of biophotons. These are cells in the human body that emit weak photons during metabolism.

2. Light Reflection — is the process where light falling on an object is reflected from its surface.

Light waves interact with the surface of the object and bounce off, without changing their nature. The quality of the reflection depends on the smoothness of the surface and its composition (for example, a mirror reflects better than a matte wall). The iris, cornea, or lens of the eyes can reflect light.

Light emission is an active process where light is created by the object, while light reflection is a passive process where the object simply returns the incoming light. These two phenomena are closely related but fundamentally different.

So: we can say that a human emits light as a result of biosynthesis, although this emission is very weak and usually invisible to the human eye. This process results from biochemical reactions in the body and is called biophoton emission.

Biophotons — are light particles (photons) emitted by living cells. This is weak, ultra-low-level radiation that occurs as part of metabolism and oxidative reactions in the body. The source of this radiation is molecules such as free radicals, which are released during biochemical processes.

How does this happen? During cellular respiration and other metabolic processes, oxygen molecules interact with other substances, creating excited molecules. These excited molecules return to a stable state, emitting photons. These reactions in cells can generate weak light associated with the formation of active oxygen species.

Biophoton emission is too weak for the human eye to see, but it can be measured using highly sensitive instruments like photomultipliers.

This radiation should not be confused with infrared thermal radiation, which the body also emits but in a different spectrum.

Biophoton emission is considered an indicator of metabolic activity and overall health.

Some scientists suggest that biophotons may play a role in cellular communication, as their emission correlates with cellular processes.

This emission is not associated with the visible “luminosity” of the body, like that of fireflies. It is a byproduct of biosynthesis and metabolic activity.

Thus, it can be argued that humans emit light as a result of biosynthesis, although this emission requires special conditions to be detected.

The eyes, as part of the human body, also participate in metabolic processes, including those leading to biophoton emission. The retina, especially its photoreceptors (rods and cones), actively participates in chemical reactions related to light perception and can be a source of weak biophoton emission. Biophotons emitted within the eyes can exit through transparent structures, such as the cornea and vitreous body.

Studies have shown that human eyes emit weak light in the dark, which is detected by sensitive detectors. This biophoton emission is linked to the metabolic activity of the retina.

What processes are related to this emission?

Active processes in the retina, including reactions to light, can lead to the generation of biophotons. Oxidative reactions occurring in the eye tissues are the main source of biophotons. Signals from the eyes to the brain are also associated with the generation of energy, partially released in the form of biophotons.

Biophotons emitted by the eyes can be a random byproduct of metabolism rather than a purposeful process. However, there are hypotheses that biophotons may play a role in internal cellular communication or even in cognitive processes related to the brain.

While the role of these biophotons is still being studied, they are likely a byproduct of biochemical reactions occurring in the eyes.

Thus, we have determined that biophotons emitted by human cells, including those in the eyes, can indeed pass through the eyes and be detected using highly sensitive devices.

Measuring biophoton emission in humans:

In experiments, scientists placed people in completely dark rooms and recorded the weak emission from different parts of the body, including the eyes. The emission from the eyes turned out to be more pronounced, which is linked to the high metabolic activity in the retina. The intensity of biophotons varies depending on the time of day (higher in the evening) and the state of the body (for example, stress can increase their emission). The light emitted by the eyes was recorded in the visible spectrum.

Biophoton emission can be used as a marker of cell health, particularly to assess the condition of the eyes or metabolic processes. Biophotons may play a role in signaling between cells. The emission of biophotons through the eyes can be seen in the context of the organism’s interaction with the environment, including light and quantum processes.

The fact of the emission opens up prospects for further research, both scientific and philosophical. Studies on biophotons — ultra-weak light emissions by living organisms — have been conducted in various countries and at different periods. Here are some key experiments and studies in this field:

1. Alexander Gurvich and his research on mitogenetic radiation (1920s):
   Soviet biologist Alexander Gavrilovich Gurvich discovered that onion roots emit weak ultraviolet radiation that stimulates cell division in neighboring plants. He called this phenomenon “mitogenetic radiation” and suggested that it plays a role in cellular communication.
2. Biophoton emission research at the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute (FIAN):
   Sergey Mayburov, a researcher at the Laboratory of Elementary Particles at FIAN, Russia, studied biophoton emission in fish eggs under near-total darkness, recording patterns of emitted biophotons. He found that these flashes have an order resembling binary signals, which may indicate their use in cellular communication.
3. Modern research on biophotons in Italy (2023–2024):
   A group of scientists, including L. De Paolis, R. Francini, I. Davoli, and others, studied biophoton emission from germinating seeds, using highly sensitive detectors to record weak light emissions. They analyzed the spectral components and photon distribution at different stages of germination to understand the role of biophotons in regulation and communication between cells.

Human biophoton emission studies have been conducted in various scientific centers using highly sensitive equipment. Some of them include:

1. Research in Japan (2009):
   A group of scientists from the Tohoku Institute of Technology in Sendai, Japan.
   Scientists used ultra-sensitive cameras to detect ultra-weak visible light emitted by the human body. They found that the faces of participants emitted weak light, with intensity varying throughout the day, peaking in the late hours.
2. Research in Germany (1990s):
   Professor Fritz-Albert Popp and his colleagues from the International Institute of Biophysics in Neuss, Germany.
   Popp’s team developed methods to measure biophoton emission from human cells and tissues. They hypothesized that biophotons may play a role in cellular communication and be an indicator of tissue health.
3. Research in Russia (2011):
   By Sergey Mayburov, a researcher at the Laboratory of Elementary Particles, P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute, Russia.
   Mayburov studied biophoton emission in fish eggs under near-total darkness, recording patterns of emitted biophotons. He found that these flashes had order resembling binary signals, which may indicate their use in cellular communication.

These studies confirm the existence of biophoton emission in humans and open up possibilities for further exploration of its role in biological processes and medicine.

If we interpret the eyes as Schrödinger’s two slits and the process of Jewish observation of milk as a quantum measurement act, we can assume that the properties of the milk change depending on whether it is fixed as kosher. Let’s break down this concept:

1. Eyes as the Tool of Observation
   In the interpretation of quantum mechanics through the two-slit experiment:
   Without observation: The system remains in a state of superposition (the milk can potentially be both kosher and non-kosher).
   With observation: The act of observation leads to the “collapse of the wave function” of the system, fixing the milk as kosher. In this context, the eyes of a Jew become the “tool of observation,” and the milk is the “quantum system.”
2. Milk as an Object of Fixation
   If we consider milk as a quantum object:
   Without supervision: The milk exists in an undefined state — its kosher status is not determined.
   With supervision: The observation by a Jew “determines” the milk’s status as kosher.

This analogy is similar to quantum principles. The act of observation fixes one of the potential states of the object. Until observed, the object is in a state of uncertainty (superposition).

3. How can Milk Change its Properties?
   From a kosher perspective, milk doesn’t change its physical or chemical properties, but its kosher status becomes fixed only with Jewish supervision. This can be compared to a change in the state of a system in quantum mechanics: until the measurement, the status of the milk is undefined (it could be kosher or non-kosher), but observation “collapses” this state into a defined one.
   The key here is the role of the observer, who does not just record reality but also participates in its formation.
   The observer (Jew) brings “light” (inner light or awareness) into the system, making the process kosher.

 

From the perspective of kashrut, the status of milk is related to the concept of conscious observation — an action that fits into a broader structure of order and laws. In the quantum analogy, this can be interpreted as the process of forming reality through observation.

Thus: If milk is considered a quantum system: Without an observer, it is in an uncertain state (superposition of kosher/non-kosher). The act of observation by the eyes of a Jew fixes its state, which can be interpreted as “changing the property” (e.g., confirming its kosher status).

Therefore, the analogy with quantum mechanics allows us to reflect more deeply on how the observer influences the order and status of objects, even within spiritual and legal systems.

Eyes as sensors:
Eyes collect information about the external world and transmit it to the brain. In the quantum analogy, the eyes are like sensors collecting data.
However, the eyes themselves do not “observe” in the conscious sense. They simply transmit signals to the brain, where interpretation happens. The brain interprets the signals coming from the eyes and forms conscious perception.

From the standpoint of quantum mechanics, the act of interpretation in the brain can be considered the “collapse of the wave function” — when uncertainty turns into a concrete result. The interaction between the eyes (data collection) and the brain (data processing) forms a unified act of observation.

However, the true “observer” is the awareness or consciousness behind it all.

In quantum mechanics, the “observer” is the element of the system that interacts with the quantum object, determining its state. In the case of a human, this can be:

• Awareness: pure consciousness, which “watches” the results of the brain and eyes working.
• Inner Light: if we incorporate philosophy, “inner light” (within a spiritual context) can be the source of energy that influences the process of observation.
• Unified system: the eyes, brain, and awareness work as a whole, where each component plays its role.

1. Eyes: Schrödinger’s Two Slits —

They collect light information, but do not themselves determine the result. They are instruments that fix the light, but not conscious observers.

2. Brain: The “screen” in the experiment —

It interprets the data and forms the image.

3. Awareness: The observer —

It determines how the perceived information influences reality. Consciousness is the true observer that assigns meaning to what is perceived and makes decisions.

Thus, in the act of observation, all three elements are involved: eyes (input), brain (processing), and awareness (final fixation of reality). The analogy with quantum mechanics accurately describes this process as a complex and interconnected system.

Let’s clarify what is meant by awareness and its role in the context of observation.

Awareness is the ability to perceive, analyze, and assign meaning to information. It is not only the result of the brain’s work but also includes subjective experience that goes beyond purely physiological processes.
The brain receives signals from the eyes, processes them, and forms the “picture” of the world.
Awareness is the ability to understand that “I am observing.” It is a process that connects physical perception with interpretation and decision-making.

If we consider the human through the analogy of quantum mechanics, we can say that awareness serves as the final observer. It is the subject that makes the decision — how to interpret what is observed and what to do with it.

Quantum mechanics highlights that the act of observation defines the state of a system. In the human context, awareness is the moment when information from the external world becomes “real” in subjective experience.
Without an observer, the system remains in a state of superposition. Observation “resolves” this uncertainty. In human perception, awareness transforms the signals from the eyes into meaningful experience and determines how the perceived information affects reality and behavior.

Example:

The eyes see the milk. The brain records its properties. Consciousness decides whether it is kosher (in both spiritual and legal senses) based on all the data.

The difficulty in understanding consciousness lies in the fact that it is hard to separate it from the brain. Some hypotheses:

• It arises from complex neural processes.
• Consciousness as an independent observer: This is an immaterial entity interacting with the brain (e.g., the soul or inner light in spiritual terms).
• Consciousness is the key stage in observation that completes the process of perception:

1. The eyes collect light (data).
2. The brain forms the interpretation (analyzes).
3. Consciousness completes the process, making perception personal and subjective.

Reflection of light can follow the same sequence and logic, but it is important to consider the nuances associated with the physical and cognitive aspects of the process.

Let’s break it down:

1. How light reflection works:

Light comes from an external source (e.g., the sun or a lamp) and is reflected by an object, entering the eyes of the observer. The eyes record the reflected light, which carries information about the color, shape, texture, and other properties of the object. The process of perceiving the reflected light also includes three stages:

2. The Eyes – the tool of fixation:

The eyes capture the reflected light. The lens of the eye focuses the light onto the retina, where it is converted into electrical signals by photoreceptors.

3. The Brain – the data analyzer:

Signals from the eyes are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain analyzes the data, determining such characteristics as:

• The intensity of light (brightness),
• The wavelength (color),
• The angles of reflection (shape and volume of the object).

4. Consciousness – the completion of perception:

Consciousness interprets the information received from the brain:

• Recognizes the object as a “red apple,” “glossy surface,” or “milk in a glass.”
• Introduces subjective elements, such as emotions (“it looks appetizing”) or conclusions (“the milk is kosher”).

Quantum Analogy for Reflection of Light:

• The eyes record the photons of reflected light but do not “decide” what the object is. They serve as detectors.
• The brain interprets the reflected light, forming the primary image of the object.
• Consciousness finally fixes the observation, defining reality for the observer.

This is similar to the collapse of the wave function in quantum mechanics: as long as the light is being reflected and reaching the eyes, the object remains in an “uncertain state” for the observer. The act of observation (fixing the reflected light with the eyes, processing it in the brain, and recognizing it in consciousness) turns the uncertain object into a concrete perception.

In the case of milk illuminated by light:

• The eyes record the reflected light, perceiving the whiteness, texture, and consistency of the milk.
• The brain analyzes the milk’s properties, including visual cues (cleanliness, freshness).
• Consciousness determines the status of the milk, including spiritual or legal aspects like kosherness (if that is part of the perception).

Just like with light emission, reflection requires a light source (external) and a surface that reflects the light, as well as eyes, brain, and consciousness to complete the process of observation.

The logic of light reflection fully aligns with the described sequence. The eyes record the reflected light (input data). The brain interprets the characteristics of the reflected light (analysis). Consciousness completes the process, creating subjective reality.

Just like in the case of light emission, the key role is played by the observer, who “completes” the process and determines what the reflected light means for reality.

Let’s assume that milk really changes its properties under the influence of the observer (for example, the eye or “inner light”); this may be related to physical, chemical, or even quantum aspects. Let’s analyze which properties may change and suggest directions for searching for these changes.

What properties of milk may change?

Physical properties:

• Optical characteristics.
  Possible changes in reflectivity, polarization of light, or other optical properties under the influence of observation.
• Temperature.
  Upon observation (especially from a close distance), there may be a slight thermal effect from the radiation of the human body, which could affect the temperature of the milk.

Chemical properties:

• Biophotons emitted by the eyes or body may theoretically interact with proteins, fats, or other components of milk, causing weak chemical changes.
• Water structure in milk.
  Milk consists of water and fats. The change in the structure of water molecules (clusters) under the influence of observation could be investigated.
• In the case of quantum structures in milk (for example, water dipoles), the observer could influence their state, shifting them from superposition to a definite state.

What and how to search to detect changes?

• Study of reflected light waves from milk for changes in the spectrum.
• Using highly sensitive thermometers to detect the smallest thermal changes.
• Analysis of protein, fat, and sugar concentrations before and after the observer’s influence.
• Studies of water clusters using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or infrared spectroscopy.

Methods for searching quantum changes:

• Checking how biophotons emitted by the eyes may influence milk components.
• Using quantum sensors to measure possible changes in quantum properties of milk, such as polarization or spin state.

Where to search for research?

Scientific directions for searching:

• Biophysics.
  The field studying the interaction of biological systems with physical processes, including light.
• Biophotons.
  Specific studies on the effect of biophotons on biological and chemical objects.
• Fluid physics.
  Scientific articles studying the influence of observation or light on liquid media.
• Quantum biology.
  Research linking quantum processes with biology and chemistry.

Hypotheses to test:

• Influence of biophotons on proteins and fats in milk. Use spectral analysis to detect changes in the structure of milk components.
• Change in the microstructure of water in milk. Check whether observation or light affects the formation of water clusters.
• Study of the behavior of colloids in milk. Milk is a colloidal system. Observation could affect the distribution of particles.

The phrase “in case of quantum structures being present in milk” implies that milk may contain elements or components that follow the laws of quantum mechanics, not only classical physics. This requires clarification of what aspects or structures of milk can be considered “quantum.” Let’s break this down further:

1. What are quantum structures?
   Quantum structures are objects or phenomena that exist on the scale of atoms, molecules, or subatomic particles.

• They demonstrate quantum effects such as superposition, entanglement, quantum fluctuations, or tunneling.
• They react to interaction with an observer (for example, “wave function collapse”).
• Water molecules have an electric dipole moment, which can interact with electromagnetic waves.
• Some proteins and enzymes may exhibit quantum properties in biological processes, such as proton tunneling.
• Weak light emission from cells may include quantum aspects.

2. Quantum aspects of milk
   Milk is a complex colloidal system composed of water, proteins, fats, and sugars. Some of these components may have quantum properties:

• Milk contains about 87% water. Water molecules form hydrogen bonds that can create dynamic clusters. These clusters may be sensitive to external fields, including light (or biophotons), and demonstrate quantum effects at the molecular level.
• Some of their properties (such as reaction to light or electromagnetic waves) may depend on quantum interactions at the level of individual atoms.
• Fat molecules may interact with other components of milk, forming microscopic structures that could potentially be investigated through quantum effects.
• Complex sugar molecules may participate in processes dependent on energy transitions described by quantum mechanics.

3. How to search for quantum structures in milk?

• Spectroscopy (IR or Raman): Study of molecular vibrations and oscillations that may exhibit quantum effects.
• Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR): Analysis of the structure of water, proteins, or fats in milk.
• Photon study: Recording the interaction of light with milk (for example, changes in the spectrum of reflected light).

Water molecules in milk can form structures that are sensitive to external electromagnetic influences. Proteins or fats may change their structure under the influence of light (or an observer).
“Quantum structures” in milk refer to molecules (water, proteins, fats) or their combinations that may exhibit behavior described by quantum mechanics. To detect such structures, advanced analytical methods like spectroscopy, NMR, or laser measurements are necessary. These studies could show whether the observer (for example, Jewish control) affects the properties of milk not just symbolically, but physically.
Milk as a material object cannot exist without quantum particles. Although milk consists of quantum particles, its properties at the macroscopic level (such as color, viscosity) are described by the laws of classical physics. This is related to decoherence, where quantum effects such as superposition or entanglement are lost during interaction with the environment.
Under ordinary conditions, milk can be considered a classical system. Its macroscopic properties (such as color, texture, taste) are determined by the interaction of molecules at a level where quantum effects are “hidden.” However, at the level of individual molecules or atoms, quantum properties continue to exist.

Interaction with quantum structures in molecules may cause changes in the molecules themselves. However, the nature of these changes depends on the type of interaction, conditions, and properties of the molecules. Let’s explore this in more detail.

When a molecule absorbs a photon of a certain energy, an electron may move to a higher energy level (excited state). The molecule can return to its original state by emitting a photon, or enter into a chemical reaction.

• Infrared radiation, for example, can excite vibrational states of molecules, changing the lengths and angles of bonds between atoms.
• Microwaves can alter the rotational states of molecules.

Microwaves can change the rotational states of molecules, which is used, for example, in microwave spectroscopy. The impact of energy (such as light) can break chemical bonds (photolysis) or create new compounds.
Under ultraviolet light, water molecules (H₂O) can split into hydrogen and oxygen. Proteins, as complex molecules, may alter their spatial structure (conformation) when exposed to light or other forms of energy, affecting their functions. The structure of hydrogen bonds in water may change under the influence of electromagnetic fields, which can affect its properties.

4. What molecular properties may change?

• Increase or decrease in the energy of the molecule.
• Changes in the lengths of bonds and angles between atoms.
• The ability to engage in reactions.
• How the molecule absorbs or emits light.

After the exposure, molecules may:

• Return to their original state (for example, after emitting excess energy).
• Move to a new stable state (for example, if a chemical reaction has occurred).
• Break apart if the exposure was too intense (for example, breaking bonds at high energies).

If molecules in milk (for example, proteins, water, fats) are exposed to interactions:

• Proteins may alter their structure, affecting the texture and properties of the milk.
• Fat molecules may become more reactive when exposed to light.
• Water may change the structure of its clusters, which may affect dissolved substances.

When interacting with quantum structures in molecules, the molecules can indeed change. These changes may be temporary (electron or vibrational excitation) or permanent (change in structure or composition). For milk molecules, this could mean:

• Change in texture (if proteins or fats alter structure).
• Change in taste (influence on dissolved substances).
• Chemical changes (from strong exposure, such as ultraviolet light).

Studying such effects may require precise control of conditions and the application of specialized analytical methods like spectroscopy or NMR.

The observer effect in quantum mechanics demonstrates that reality does not exist separately from the observer. The very fact of observation shapes the outcome, breaking the uncertainty. This fundamental property of nature changes our perception of the world and opens new horizons for science. The observer does not merely record reality — they create it. And in this lies a profound connection between knowledge and existence, where each gaze shapes the world around us.

Based on this analysis of the milk production process, we can make a hypothetical conclusion: personal observation during the milking of mammals likely has a scientific basis. In this case, the presence of a human with certain characteristics, related to an inner source of light and its distribution, is possibly a necessary condition for the kosher status of milk.

[1] According to Jewish tradition and the timeframes accepted in classical Jewish chronology:
The Tower of Babel: The construction of the Tower of Babel (Migdahl Bavel) is traditionally dated to around 1996 BCE, corresponding to 1765 in the Jewish calendar (after the creation of the world).
The birth of Abraham: Abraham (Avraham Avinu) was born in 1948 after the creation of the world, which corresponds to approximately 1812 BCE. Thus, Abraham was born 48 years after the mixing of languages and the scattering of nations that occurred during the construction of the Tower of Babel. This event symbolizes the beginning of a new era in the history of humanity, when many different languages and cultures already existed.
In the book (Bereshit 17:1-5), it is described how God appeared to Abraham, made a covenant with him, and changed his name from Abram (אַבְרָם) to Abraham (אַבְרָהָם), adding the letter “ה” (hey). This same letter was also added to the name of his wife, Sarah.
The construction of the Tower of Babel lasted about 43 years. The Talmud (Sanhedrin 109a) mentions the long period of construction and how this endeavor united people of various nations in their pursuit of common goals.
The union of Sarah and Abraham in Judaism is considered an important part of the Divine plan. Together, they fulfilled God’s will, which included the birth of Isaac (Yitzchak), through whom the patriarchal line continued.
The letter “ה” (hey) was added to Abraham’s name, marking a new stage in his life. This stage was marked by the covenant between him and God, as well as the promise of blessings in the form of numerous descendants and a great nation. In Judaism, the change of name implies a change in fate. In Hebrew, the letter “ה” is associated with breath and life, symbolizing a new beginning and renewal granted to Abraham and his descendants.

The change of Sarah’s name also carried a deep meaning. The letter “י” in the name Sarai could symbolize her past and former role. The removal of this letter and the inclusion of “ה” (hey) indicated a transition to a new spiritual state, reinforced by divine intervention. The letter “ה” also signifies the presence of God. The replacement of “י” with “ה” brought new inspiration and divine spirit, just as in the case of Abraham. This emphasized Sarah’s role in the divine plan and her participation in the Covenant.

The inclusion of the letter “ה” (hey) in the names of Abraham and Sarah was a sign of divine blessing and spiritual elevation, pointing to their new role and purpose in fulfilling the divine plan.
According to the Torah, two nations were created at different times through unique divine interventions. All of humanity traces its origin back to Adam, the first human created by God. The descendants of Adam and Eve multiplied and populated the earth, encompassing all the nations of the world. The second nation, described in the Torah, the people of Israel, traces its origin from Abraham. God made a Covenant with Abraham, promising him that his descendants would become a great nation. This Covenant was confirmed through Isaac (Yitzchak) and Jacob (Yaakov), who later received the name Israel. The descendants of Jacob became the twelve tribes of Israel.
Thus, according to the Torah, all humanity descends from Adam, while the people of Israel were created and set apart as a special nation through Abraham, with whom God made a Covenant, granting him and his descendants a unique purpose.
After the flood, when the waters receded and the earth regained its breath, God made a Covenant with Noah and his sons, extending it to all humanity (Genesis 9:8-17). The main provisions of this Covenant include the prohibition of murder and the establishment of a judicial system, as well as God’s promise never to destroy the earth again by flood. I previously mentioned the flood. It is quite natural not to repeat the flood, as the earth’s atmosphere was completely altered, losing the earth’s surrounding waters.
God made a special Covenant with Abraham, granting him numerous descendants and the land of Canaan (Genesis 15 and 17). This Covenant included the promise that through his descendants, all the nations of the earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:2-3, 17:4-8). This refers to the creation of a new group of observers, and the entire history repeats actions similar to those with Adam and Eve.
Isaac (Yitzchak) was not sent directly to Ur of the Chaldeans (Abraham’s homeland) to find a wife. In fact, Abraham sent his servant Eliezer to the city of Nahor in Paddan-Aram (Haran) to find a wife for Isaac from his own family (Genesis 24). The main reason for choosing this area and family is based on several factors. Abraham believed that God would guide his servant to the right place and help him find a suitable wife for Isaac. The prayer of servant Eliezer and the miraculous events leading to his encounter with Rebekah (Rivka) emphasize divine intervention in this process (Genesis 24:12-27).
The choice of wives for the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob represented strict adherence to certain criteria, which could be seen as a form of selection. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob sought wives among their relatives in order to preserve specific spiritual and moral values within the family. This helped maintain religious traditions and beliefs. There was a clear intention to avoid marriages with other local peoples who practiced idolatry and held different religious and moral standards. This helped prevent assimilation and the loss of unique identity and faith.
It can be assumed that genetically the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob may differ from other nations due to their isolation and intra-family marriages, which may have limited genetic mixing with other ethnic groups. This also could have contributed to the preservation of unique genetic traits. The practice of marrying within the family or extended kin circle, as in the case of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, may have led to a more homogeneous genetic pool among their descendants. This could have contributed to the transmission of specific genetic characteristics.
Imagine that the letter “ה” (hey) is not just a symbol, but a key to the secrets of the genetic code hidden deep within human essence. When God added this letter to the names of Abraham and Sarah, He seemed to inscribe a new chapter in the “book of life,” altering the very fabric of their existence. This change didn’t just affect their names; it deeply transformed their essence and fate, influencing their descendants and the entire nation.
From the perspective of modern science, genetic changes are passed down through generations, bringing adaptations that enhance survival and prosperity. In this light, the addition of “ה” can be seen as a metaphor for a genetic mutation, which endows the descendants of Abraham and Sarah with unique qualities.
Perhaps God used this symbol as a message for future generations, so that they, possessing a deeper understanding of biology and genetics, could see something greater in this act than just a name change. This could have been a sort of “divine code,” which was to be deciphered later, when humanity would be ready for it.
The letter “ה” in Hebrew is associated with the concept of breath and life, symbolizing inspiration, life, and a new order of things. This change may point to renewal or rewriting on a genetic level, as if God inscribed a new line in the “book of life” of each person.
The inspiration of life in Adam and the addition of the letter “ה” to the names of Abraham and Sarah can be seen as similar acts of divine intervention. In the book of Genesis (Bereshit 2:7), it is said that God created man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. This act of enlivening symbolizes the beginning of human life and spiritual consciousness.
In both cases, God’s actions lead to the beginning of a new era. In the case of Adam, it is the beginning of humanity, while in the case of Abraham and Sarah, it is the beginning of a new society, chosen by God to fulfill the roles of observers. When God breathed life into Adam, it not only gave him life, but also endowed him with certain knowledge and understanding of the essence of Creation. Adam became the bearer of divine wisdom and knowledge of the world.
Abraham and Sarah received roles similar to those of Adam and Eve. This could mean that they were endowed with special knowledge and understanding of the essence of Creation, which allowed them to become the founders of a new group of people — observers. The change of names of Abraham and Sarah marks a step in the transmission of divine knowledge and wisdom, similar to how God breathed life into Adam. The letter “ה,” added to their names, could symbolize this act of transferring divine breath and wisdom.
Just as Adam and Eve were the first humans who began the history of humanity, so too Abraham and Sarah became the first in the history of the new chosen people, called to bear divine knowledge and values to the world. Their understanding of the essence of Creation may have played a key role in this mission. Abraham and Sarah, like Adam and Eve, received knowledge of the essence of Creation, which allowed them to understand the deep laws of the world and the nature of divine intervention. This knowledge could have been passed down to their descendants, forming the basis for the spiritual and moral teachings of the Jewish people.
Thus, the hypothesis presents a deep understanding of the symbolism of name changes and the role of Abraham and Sarah in the divine plan. This perspective emphasizes the importance of transmitting divine knowledge and wisdom through generations and the role of the patriarchs in preserving and spreading this knowledge.
