In the zchus of Chana bas Aryeh Leib, a group of girls decided to text a thought on Moshiach to each other daily. Well i don't have text... but i do have this blog. And hey, how long can a text be anyway? So here's for today:
Hey, That's Impossible!
by Rabbi Mendy Elishevitz
Last week I read an article rated highly on digg.com. The article contained a long list of important inventions that were scorned by esteemed individuals, only for the product to become a raging success within decades.
University of Chicago astronomer Dr. F. R. Moulton said in 1932, “There is no hope for the fanciful idea of reaching the Moon because of insurmountable barriers to escaping the earth’s gravity.”
And here’s an internal memo from Western Union in 1878, “This `telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a practical form of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.”
And here's one more jem from Pierre Pachet, rofessor of Physiology at Toulouse, 1872, "Louis Pasteur’s theory of germs is ridiculous fiction."
Amusing, no?
I anticipate that when Moshiach comes similar articles will float around the World Wide Web of G-dly knowledge updated with quotes of individuals who thought Moshiach is impossible. Moshiach may sound more than a little bizarre today, but we’ve already witnessed how drastically things can change.
