Peace and blessings,
In your book “God Plays Dice” (Appendix E, p. 457, note 264) there is a link to a website that discusses the validity of various studies regarding the empirical effectiveness of prayers.
A. The link doesn’t work for me. Can you upload the exact link here?
on. Have you since found any additional findings, or have you come up with new insights – on this matter?
.
Thank you very much and Happy Shabbat!

I didn’t continue to be interested in the subject. Indeed, the link there brings up something completely different and I’m not sure why. If you search the web, I’m sure you’ll find a lot of material.

Thank you very much!

I don't have the time or patience to search for random information online, especially in English.

In your book you mentioned 3 specific studies that supposedly meet all the scientific requirements and prove the effectiveness of prayer, and only in a comment did you mention a particular article that rejects these studies, and even expressed your basic agreement with its claims.

Therefore, it was important for me to get the full picture regarding these three studies.

Thanks Kobi, I saw what was said there.
As the rabbi explained in his book, much of what is said on the matter is biased by multiple agendas, and therefore I have no interest in collecting sources of all sorts of “sages” (ad hominem) who claim one way or another.
I am looking for a specific explanation of what the methodological problem was in the three seemingly serious studies I read about in ”God Plays Dice”.
