    From Physics To Faith: Exploring The Divine Blueprint Of Our Universe

    Science and spirituality have often been seen as two separate worlds, but what if they’re more connected than we think? How do these realms overlap, and is it possible for one to prove the existence of the other? In this episode, we’re exploring these fascinating questions with the co-hosts of the Physics to God podcast, Rabbis Elie Feder and Aaron Zimmer… Physics to God is a show that analyzes how cutting-edge developments in the field of physics can point directly to the existence of God. Explaining these complex concepts in simple terms, Elie and Aaron dive into our universe's great mysteries – always seeking to demonstrate the existence of an intelligent force behind everything. Hit play to uncover:  The mathematical possibility of the multiverse theory.  How numbers keep chaos in order, and patterns to look for within them. How the electromagnetic forces of atoms construct the fabric of our universe. Elie Feder has a Ph.D. in mathematics from the CUNY Graduate Center and received Rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Yisrael Chait. He has been a mathematics professor at Kingsborough Community College since 2004, has published many papers, and has given countless talks on mathematical research. Aaron Zimmer earned a physics degree while receiving rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Yisrael Chait. After his undergraduate studies, he pursued his intellectual curiosity that extended far beyond the realm of physics – encompassing the diverse fields of philosophy, mathematics, and psychology. Drawing from his analytical and philosophical skills, Aaron went on to utilize his personal resources to venture into commodity futures trading.  You can follow along with the Physics to God podcast here!
