[Avodah] kol hamosif, gorea

[Rich, Joel]

I could only imagine that for some reason these notions were known to chazal and deduced from their limud of Torah but not revealed since they were considered as being "sodos" of Maaseh Beraishis.  However, I could not understand why? If Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, Watson & Crick et al. could reveal them why not Chazal? The only alternative to this is that Chazal did not have any better scientific knowledge than the rest of the world around them, but this is rejected by the chareidi world. So all I have are questions but no satisfying answers. (Or perhaps flesh out the Zohar mentioned previously in this thread, explaining WHY only after 5600??).

Enter Slifkin ....  but we all know how that went....

=======================
Want to think about something- is it coincidence that R' Chaim's analytical approach paralleled the thought process in the "scientific" world (so much so that his detractors within the world of learning ccalled him "the chemist")?
