'The Source' A blog post by Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui, explores the idea that ancient Jewish law, particularly as explained by Maimonides, contains principles that resonate with modern scientific concepts, specifically quantum mechanics. The author uses the example of the prohibition against charging interest in Jewish law and a specific ruling regarding a lender who converts to Judaism to illustrate a parallel with the quantum concept of superposition and collapse, where possibilities exist until a 'measurement' or determining event occurs. Ultimately, the post suggests that the Torah's wisdom is deeply connected to the nature of reality, demonstrating a harmony between faith and scientific discovery.
