Story
Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger were friends and comrades-in-arms against what they considered the most preposterous aspects of quantum physics: its indeterminacy. Einstein famously quipped that God does not play dice with the universe, and Schrödinger is equally well known for his thought experiment about the cat in the box who ends up "spread out" in a probabilistic state, neither wholly alive nor wholly dead.

Easy to read/listen and fascinating description of ideas 'fight' behind deterministic/quantic approach. It was nice to listen.

Story
The topic of neurotheology has garnered increasing attention in the academic, religious, scientific, and popular worlds. But there have been no attempts to explore more specifically how Jewish religious thought and experience may intersect with neurotheology. The Rabbi's Brain engages this groundbreaking area.

Most of the material is well documented and the approach the the theme is rigorous. Practical examples are well chosen and analogies with religious text are helpful. Worth listening on casual premises.
