The Torah Code is a theory that claims hidden messages can be found in the Bible by selecting letters at regular intervals. The idea is based on the belief that historical and future events, such as the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and 9/11, are encoded in the Hebrew Torah. The method was developed by mathematician Eliyahu Rips and his colleagues, who used computers to analyze the text. A study published in 1994 claimed that the code's patterns were statistically significant and could not be explained by chance. However, critics, such as statistician Brendan McKay, have demonstrated that the same method can be used to find similar "prophecies" in other books, including Moby Dick. The scientific consensus is that the results are a consequence of random patterns rather than a divine code. Despite this, the Torah Code continues to fascinate and inspire both research and speculation.
