The ark of the covenant took up no physical space. Abraham and others travelled long distances in surprisingly short intervals. Moses didn't eat or drink for at least 40 days+nights and more likely 120. Elijah ran for 40 days+nights without stopping(ending up on mt. sinai).
2 points:
a.The Torah says that God is _One_.
b.The Scroll of Esther says "Orah" (light) to which the commentators (our Rabbis) say: "Orah zu Torah" (Torah is this Light which they were speaking of).
is it coincidental that:
a. when massive objects collapse beyond there schwaschild radius they are called "singularities". (One)
b. when things travel close to the speed of "Light", space and time start to warp.
From the perspective of Light or a Singularity there is no space or time.
Now, the ark of the covenant was not as massive as a black hole, nor was it's radius small enough relative to it's weight that it could be a black hole. (not to mention the world would have been sucked in by it's gravity had it been a black hole) Also Abraham was surely not travelling close to the speed of light when "Kvizat HaDerech" (shortening of the path or in modern science lingo: "length contraction") took place. Therefore, what would explain those 'Relativisitic' events. ?
There is only one answer (assuming you believe the veracity of the old testament): Things of great spiritual energy or meaning alter spacetime.
It is conceivable that singularities and light only bend spacetime because of their close spiritual relationships with either God or Torah.(They embody light (fluidity/ infinity) and one-ness, (simplicity/ infinity)).
...this is one of the fundamental tenets of my understanding of the universe which I have come to believe. in it's short form: That the spiritual world exerts control over the physical, that perhaps the physical world is something observed that doesn't actually exist at all. (an interpretation of the spiritual world)
