Hidabroot - Torah & Judaism

Two Bell Labs scientists kept hearing a strange background signal. They checked the antenna. They checked the equipment. They tried to eliminate every possible source of interference. But the signal would not disappear. What they eventually discovered became one of the most important findings in modern cosmology.

His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector’s item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich’s Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony’s Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

When Bell Labs built a giant antenna in Holmdel, New Jersey in 1960, two employees of Bell Labs, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, realized it would make a superb radio telescope. When they started their research, they couldn't get rid of a background noise. It was like trying to tune into your favorite radio program when it's obscured with noise and static. Everyone assumed it came from the telescope itself, so they checked everything trying to find the source. Eventually, they came to the staggering conclusion that what they were hearing were the very first moments of the creation of the universe. The discovery in 1963 of the cosmic microwave background noise of the Big Bang was the first compelling evidence that the universe was born at a definite moment. A sound amplifier playing nothing, electrons singing. A giant blowup of a photograph, silver crystals singing. And the most distant and cold whisper of the song of the world's creation. Go beneath the superficial descriptive level of any medium, be it sound or sight, or listen to the center of the universe itself, and you won't find silence. You'll find song. That song is the sound of every rock and every bird, of every electron and star doing the bidding of its creator. There is no silence in the heart of silence.
