Chapter 23

New results
(an update, November, 2012)

On December, 4, 2009, the Israeli daily, the Jerusalem Post, published an
interview with me about the findings of this book. The interview was posted on
the Internet and translated to other languages. Following this interview, numerous
communications were received and articles about the methodology used in
the book published in various Jewish local newspapers (for example, Benazra,
2010ab). Some writers provided me with findings of their own. Concurrently,
I continued with my own research and found some new relationships (not yet
made public).
The purpose of this new chapter (added to the 2012 revision of the book) is to
deliver an update that reflects these endeavors and expound their results. It opens
(section 23.1) with an introduction of the Jewish roots of the approach pursued
in this book, namely, the belief that there exist hidden linkages between physical
properties of “entities” of the real world and respective biblical verses or biblical
Hebrew words that relate to these entities. Some results (not all new), which
demonstrate realizations of this belief, are displayed in Table 23.1. No statistical
analysis is attempted to establish the validity of these findings. Section 23.2 is a
“Parable (all facts imaginary; conclusions valid)”. I have found this parable useful
in explaining why a linear relationship between two sets of observations, collected
by two measuring devices possibly operating on different scales, indicates that
the two sets of observations deliver identical information. While this may seem
self-evident and redundant to readers trained in the exact sciences, it may not be so
for other readers. Therefore a numerical example is introduced, given in the form
of a parable. In section 23.3 a simple new detailed example is introduced, which
relates to velocity as the physical trait associated with various Hebrew words. Its
purpose is to demonstrate (once again) the significance of a linear relationship. A
