Quantum Physics and the Tower of Babel

When you read the title of this article, did you do a double take? What link could possibly be formed between an ancient Biblical story and the scientific theories of the likes of Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein? Both of these seemingly unrelated sources support the fact that we may have more control over our physical reality than we may think.

It has long been established in the self-improvement realm that in order to change our circumstances, we must first change the way we think. Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich", first published in 1938, is one of the most noted books exploring the methods of training the subconscious through visualization and belief to create your own success. Although it may seem that these methods are founded in philosophy, there is also scientific evidence as well as historical documentation supporting this thesis.

It may first be prudent to offer some background information about the Tower of Babel and the theory of quantum physics to demonstrate what Napoleon Hill supposed in the writing of his book.

The Tower of Babel

The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9) explains that originally all people of the earth had the same language. After the Great Flood, the people came from the east and gathered together in the plain of Shinar where they purposed to build a city and tower that would reach up into the heavens. Their motive for this action was to make a name for themselves, which eventually evolved into the same forms of corrupt nature that stirred the wrath of God causing the flood in the first place. God saw this, confounded their language, and spread them abroad ceasing their plans for the tower.

Quantum Physics Theories

Although a study of quantum physics is outside the realm of this article, some of its theories and natural laws are explained as they pertain to this subject.

Quantum Physics is the science that explains how everything in our world comes into existence, whether it be a physical object or a thought or emotion, is made up of energy vibrating at different wavelengths.

The Laws of Attraction-like energies are attracted to each other, while opposing energies repel
