Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter asks readers what they are doing to prepare for the possible end of democracy in the United States. What questions do you expect will be answered by data from the web space telescope now that it has become operational? And is it possible that j w s t's ability to see further back in time and with greater resolution could improve our understanding of quanta mechanics?

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.
