Anonymous says, i saw a p b s space time video where mat odowd explores whether it's possible that the big bang is a time reversed black hole. Would it also be possible for a black hole to have white holes inside of its event horizon? Hum: I think there's some things that i can say with confidence about this, and other things that are a little bit trickier. Ok, look for evidence that this particular strategy that youare suggesting actually works. Those are the suggestions that are really interesting. We all have impressions, but these are difficult questions, how to talk to other people and how to change their minds. And soa ways that are backed up by science

Welcome to the July 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! 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.

Big news this week! Mindscape is working with Bold.org to sponsor a college scholarship for students interested in studying the fundamental nature of reality. Listeners can find more details and donate here. Our immediate goal is to raise $10,000, and I will match the first $5,000, so this shouldn’t be too hard for us here. Hopefully we can raise much more! And hopefully this will help encourage someone who might not otherwise have been able to study this kind of topic.
