What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
There was a very famous physicist, his [music] name was Heisenberg. And he gave a brilliant, brilliant metaphor. He said there was a fisherman who decided that he wants to determine how many fish are there in the Pacific Ocean. [music] So, he built this grand net and he put it down into the Pacific Ocean for a few weeks and then lifted [music] it up and he had all these millions of fish. And he said there's no fish that's smaller than 10 in. [music] And he became the laughing stock of humanity cuz in your own living room, you have fish that [music] are smaller than 10 in. And then they realized he actually wasn't lying. The holes in the net were 10 in. So, there were no fish smaller [music] than 10 in. It's It's the tools that we use
