Q. Do you feel that your deep knowledge of physics has changed your approach to life? And, more importantly, are there concrete examples of how being a theoretical physicist has guided your everyday actions? I can't think of anything specifically, that is a way that i act or feel that would be radically different if i knew less physics. A. Certainly the biggest one is the absence of god, in the word, which is related to scientific understanding in various ways.
Welcome to the August 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — 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.
Here is a link to the Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Please consider donating!
