How Einstein’s theory of relativity corroborates the Kabbalah’s perspective on time

By zevi770 · February 21, 2016

 

In essence, as Einstein explains his theory of relativity to the layman – if you are having an engaging conversation, an hour feels like a minute and if you are sitting on a stove, a minute feels like an hour.

In other words, as it is called, it reduced the physical world to the experiential – which of course is relative to the experience.

The Rebbe – the foremost Kabbalist ever – says that time is not measured by duration, for then can you compare an hour of heartfelt emotion, to say eight hours of sleep? Rather, time is measured by accomplishments.
