Episode notes

In quantum mechanics there is no such thing as either momentum or position. Momentum and position are observables associated with that wave function. The heisenberg uncertanty principle has nothing to do with measurements or observations. If you can make more more universes, each one of them adds a little bit to the entropy of the whole shabang. You can just increase entropy without bound mat rapport says.

Welcome to the March 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. Enjoy!
