SUMMARY:Science Meets Judaism
DESCRIPTION:HOW LONG IS FOREVER?\nwith Dr. Michael Dine and Rabbi Melanie A
 ron\n\nModern elementary particle physics has made major strides in recent
  years\, as our guest physicist\, Dr. Michael Dine\, can attest from his o
 wn groundbreaking work. New theories about supersymmetry\, the landscape c
 oncept\, and the stability of the universe go far beyond the Standard Mode
 l. Dr. Dine will offer us a glimpse into the strange new world of physics 
 and the implications of alternate theories for the ultimate fate of the un
 iverse. Speaking publicly together for the first time\, Dr. Dine’s spous
 e\, Rabbi Melanie Aron\, will respond with a Jewish perspective on questio
 ns of eternity. How does rabbinic midrash about the divine creation and de
 struction of universes resonate today? Would the discovery of sentient lif
 e on other planets change our religious understanding of the place of huma
 nity? And more generally\, does it matter\, when we pray\, whether we thin
 k of God or the universe as eternal?\n\nJoin us at 4:30 for the presentati
 ons and discussion\, and stay for the reception at 6 pm.\n\n“Scientists 
 in Synagogues” is a grass-roots initiative run by Sinai and Synapses in 
 consultation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science 
 Dialogue on Science\, Ethics and Religion\, and funded by the John Templet
 on Foundation\, along with other individual donors.\n\nClick here to regis
