Episode notes

We don't know whether hilbert's space, the space of all possible quantum wave functions, is infinite dimensional or finite. The number depends on details about quanogravity - which we have no idea about. But one way or the other, the answer is a loct it splits very, very often. And i'm always suspicious of attempts to say, this is what counts as an planation, and then demand that nature live up to that. We're trying to understand how nature works. It just means tha singularity is not a point in space. It's a moment of time, full stop.

Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.

These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
