Maimonides, a 12th-century philosopher, linked divine forces and physical movement to angels, suggesting that forces like lust, or orgasm, are manifestations of angelic influences. This notion, prevalent before the establishment of modern physics, explains how celestial movements were viewed as guided by angelic intelligences. While modern science no longer considers angels as viable explanations, the early conceptual frameworks established important discussions on space, motion, and dimension. Even as belief in angels waned, their legacy persisted in theoretical physics through 'demons,' which helped frame scientific inquiries and cultivate foundational ideas in understanding the cosmos.
Maimonides viewed forces such as orgasm as angelic influences, positing that invisible forces driving physical movement were manifestations of divine powers interacting through angels.
Before the advent of modern physics, conceptions of angelic forces provided early frameworks for understanding the cosmos, influencing how movement and celestial bodies were perceived.
Even when belief in angels faded, non-physical entities remained in scientific discourse, seen as critical placeholders assisting in the development of theories across physics.
The exploration of angelology spurred rigorous debates pertinent to space, motion, and dimension, shaping foundational concepts still employed by contemporary physicists.
