🪷 Bittul: Spiritual and Quantum Harmony

Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui's 'Bittul: Quantum Harmony of Spiritual and Scientific Coexistence' explores the concept of Bittul, or self-nullification, as a path to spiritual growth and connection with God within Chassidic thought. The text uses anecdotes to illustrate how humility and releasing ego create space for others and foster cooperation, attracting divine blessings. It then draws a parallel between these spiritual principles and quantum mechanics, specifically fermions (which build matter and cannot share quantum states) and bosons (which carry forces, enable cooperation, and can occupy the same state). Ultimately, the source argues that both spiritual and scientific realms demonstrate the importance of individual presence alongside the capacity for unity and shared space for a harmonious existence.
