כל שמעשיו מרובין מחכמתו, חכמתו מתקיימת All whose good deeds outweigh their wisdom, their wisdom stands strong. This is connected to the concept of נצח, overcoming. This means that, for example, when there is a poor person that does not deserve charity you give to them anyway. You do not know why or have a rationale for why you did it. This works the other way as well, if you sin even though you know it is wrong. You do it anyway without rational explanation. This is like Amalek, who knew all the miracles of Egypt yet rebelled. For this reason, Shmuel, who stated, "נצח ישראל לא ישקר", the victory of Israel does not lie, was the one to kill Agag. So this is what it means that your deeds are greater than your wisdom, that your good deeds are done even when they defy your reason. ממאמרי אדמו''ר האמצעי מסעי

Here is a recent discovery that seems to confirm the intense heat of the particles that exist below the moon’s orbit. For reference, the moon is about 350,000 kilometers awa y. conscerning ‘cold plasma ion distribution’ in the upper atmosphere which makes up, “At the edge, the amount of cold ions varies between 50 to 70%… making up most of the mass of space.” “According to the research satellite data and calculations, certain high-altitude zones harbor low-energy ions continuously. As far fetched as it may sound, the team has also detected them at altitudes of 100,000 km! According to Andre, discovering so many relatively cool ions in these regions is surprising because there’s so much energy hitting the Earth’s high altitudes from the solar wind – a...
