|This verse is perhaps the most important in order to understand physics.  Earth was apparently in an uncertain state similar to that discovered by [[quantum mechanics]].  The pair of Hebrew words for "chaotic and uncertain state" (תֹּהוּ and בֹּהוּ) are used only two other times in the entire Bible, in Jer. 4:23 and Isaiah 34:11).

One view: The earth is like a blank canvas, awaiting the stroke of the Master Artist. The original [[Hebrew]] repeats the concept of formlessness for emphasis. But though the earth ''began'' formless, it did not ''stay'' formless for long. [[Gravity]] gave it form almost at once.
