- Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה Qabbālā, literally “reception, tradition”) is an esoteric method, discipline and school of thought in Jewish mysticism. A traditional Kabbalist is called a Mekubbal (מְקוּבָּל Məqūbbāl “receiver”). The definition of Kabbalah varies according to the tradition and aims of those following it, from its origin in medieval Judaism to its later adaptations in Western esotericism (Christian Kabbalah and Hermetic Qabalah). Jewish Kabbalah is a set of esoteric teachings meant to explain the relationship between the unchanging, eternal God—the mysterious Ein Sof (אֵין סוֹף, “The Infinite”)—and the mortal, finite universe (God’s creation). It forms the foundation of mystical religious interpretations within Judaism.
- Galaxy filament (Wikipedia)
In cosmology, galaxy filaments are the largest known structures in the universe, consisting of ‘walls’ of gravitationally bound galactic superclusters. These massive, thread-like formations can reach 80 megaparsecs h−1 (or of the order of 160 to 260 million light-years) and form the boundaries between voids. Galaxy filaments form the cosmic web and define the overall structure of the observable universe.
