"It almost doesn't matter what kind of science they become interested in," he says. "You don't need a lot of background to appreciate questions like where did the universe come from or will a computer become intelligent someday, right? It goes back to physics being simple in some way" The idea of science chasing down these big questions and trying to answer them gets people interested nearly irrespective of what the actual subject matter is.

Welcome to the October 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. Enjoy!
