Quantum mechanics speaks to the small. Relativity speaks to the large. They will not sit at the same table. String theory says the pieces are loops of vibrating string — notes, harmonics — and that the properties of matter are the song they sing.
Scripture said it first. Behold, God is my salvation — ישועה yeshuah — the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation (Isa 12:2). The word for song traces to strings.
The Targum on Psalm 50: the Lord spoke at the Creation a song, and carved out the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Day unto day uttereth speech. Their line — קו qav, a string — is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world (Psa 19:2-4). Paul hears that line as a voice: Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth (Rom 10:18).
All of creation comes forth from music. The heavens are not mute. They are a sign pointing to Jesus Christ.
There are two main branches of Physics. Quantum mechanics which explains the microscopic realm and Einstein’s General Relativity/Special Relativity which explains the macroscopic realm. Quantum mechanics has been tested and proven scientifically accurate on the microscopic level and Einstein’s theories have proven true on the macroscopic level, however, there is a problem in that General relativity appears to be fundamentally incompatible with Quantum mechanics. What is the solution? String theory.
String theory is a theory, not proven fact but if it is indeed true there is Biblical allusions to it.
Scripture likens God to a “song.” A song produced by “strings.”
Isa 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation {ישׁוּעה ‘yeshuah‘ – source of the name Jesus}; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation {ישׁוּעה ‘yeshuah‘}.
Isa 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation {ישׁוּעה ‘yeshuah‘}.
H3444 ישׁוּעה yeshû‛âh
salvation, deliverance
The Hebrew word for Song mentioned above comes from:
The root of this word means ‘strings’:
Strings:
“Matter is composed of atoms, which in turn are made from quarks and electrons. According to string theory, all such particles are actually tiny loops of vibrating string.” {Elegant Universe – Brian Greene pg 14}
“String theory proclaims, for instance, that the observed particle properties, are a reflection of the various ways in which a string can vibrate. Just as the strings on a violin or on a piano have resonant frequencies at which they prefer to vibrate – patterns that our ears sense as various musical notes and their higher harmonics – the same holds true for the loops of string theory….each of the preferred patterns of vibration of a string in string theory appears as a particle whose mass and force changes are determined by the string’s oscillatory pattern.” {Elegant Universe pg 15}
In short, all of creation comes forth from music. Just as the Holy Scriptures spoke of thousands of years ago.
Targum Psalm 50
1. A hymn composed by Asaph. Mighty is God; the Lord spoke at the Creation a song; and he carved out the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Psa 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Psa 19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Psa 19:4 Their line (קו ‘qav’ – string) is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Psa 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
Psa 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Notice that Paul links the ‘string’ of Psalm 19:4 with voice or sound
Rom 10:18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yes, rather, “into all the earth their voice went out, and to the ends of the world their words.” LXX-Psa. 18:5; MT-Psa. 19:4
